**The Role**
This post will be part of the ICHS project, which aims to explore the feasibility of storing waste heat from Durham University’s data centre into those mine workings underneath its Science Site campus. Heat transport into the mine workings will be enabled through the drilling of two bore holes into those mine workings to set up an open-loop circulation system. The long-term aim will be to develop a system that balances the supply and demand of heat across the seasons. Such system will support UKRI’s aspiration to be net zero for its entire research undertaking by 2040, which includes any data centres it supports.

**Responsibilities**
- To use existing software to explore the potential of mine water heating for specific sites and more generally.
- To calibrate those models against available data.
- To support hydrogeologists in building a map of regional groundwater flow.

- To participate in collaborative research projects under the direction of the Principal Investigator or Grant-holder.
- To work with colleagues in various research groups at the University of Durham, industrial partners, and government bodies to ensure smooth logístical operation of the project.
- To deal with problems that may affect the achievement of research objectives and deadlines by discussing with the Principal Investigator or Grant-holder and offering creative or innovative solutions.
- To liaise with research colleagues and make internal and external contacts to develop knowledge and understanding to form relationships for future research collaboration.
- To contribute to the planning of research projects.
- To assist in contributing to support student projects on the use of research methods and equipment.
- To contribute to fostering a collegial and respectful working environment which is inclusive and welcoming and where everyone is treated fairly with dignity and respect.
