3 weeks ago


Glasgow, United Kingdom University of Strathclyde Full time

**Salary range**:£35,308 - £43,155 per annum

**FTE**:1 (35 hours per week)

**Term**:Fixed (12 months)

**Closing date**:Friday, 19 May 2023

The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Institute of Signal, Systems and Communication seeks to recruit a Research Associate in the area of Air Quality Monitoring. This exciting project will be carried out in collaboration with partners from Glasgow City Council, local SME Smart Stems, Glasgow Science Centre, University California Berkeley and Optica (formerly the Optical Society of America).

The air quality project will deploy and analyse air quality - O2, NO, NO2, O3, CO, and aerosol (PM2.5 and PM10) in addition to sensors for temperature, pressure, and relative humidity. An existing array of sensors is currently deployed in Glasgow at 25 outdoor locations across the city and these will be complemented with indoor sensors measuring the same parameters. Measurement data from the sensors will be used to identify areas of concentration across the city and also to evaluate the impact of policy interventions that are made at a local government level. The data will be used to support the analysis of external and indoor air quality to develop a fuller understanding of changes being made to the built environment in response to climate change initiatives.

The Research Associate will engage with academic colleagues, external partners (particularly Glasgow City Council) to support the delivery of a range of activities within the project. The Associate will undertake personal research activities, produce technical reports for project partners, participate in dissemination activities along with Glasgow Science Centre and SmartStems and participate in student outreach programmes related to the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering.

To be considered for the role you will be educated to PhD level* in an engineering, physical sciences, mathematics or computing discipline or you will have a minimum of a 2:1 Degree. You will have experience in one or more of the following fields: data analysis, the use of analytical techniques for example Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM), Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian Transport (STILT) model; regional weather models such as the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) and/or Numerical Atmospheric dispersion Modelling Environment (NAME). You will possess a strong background in your core discipline and will have proven self-motivated research experience. The ability to assimilate outcomes from across a broad range of disciplines and to plan your own research is essential, as are strong communication, programming skills and mathematical background.
