2 weeks ago


Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

Applications are invited for a Research Associate/Fellow in Business and Energy, ideally starting in May 2024. You will join the £3.54m Future Homes project funded by the UKs innovation agency, Innovate UK.

The Future Homes project aims to create a globally competitive centre for research and innovation in net zero housing in Greater Manchester. The project will also support innovators in bringing novel low or zero technologies to market. Led by Innovate UK on behalf of UK Research and Innovation, the pilot Innovation Accelerator programme is investing £100m in 26 transformative R&D projects to accelerate the growth of three high-potential innovation clusters Glasgow City Region, Greater Manchester and West Midlands. Supporting the Governments levelling-up agenda, this is a new model of R&D decision making that empowers local leaders to harness innovation in support of regional economic growth and help attract private R&D investment and develop future technologies.

The Future Homes project will run until March 2025 and will be delivered by a partnership between Barratt Developments, Bellway Homes, the Energy Innovation Agency, Q-bot, RED Cooperative, RSK Environment, Saint-Gobain, The University of Manchester, and the University of Salford.

You will be based at The University of Manchester and work closely with the project partners. The Work Package led by the Tyndall Centre at The University of Manchester will explore the national and local policy frameworks and recommend changes for a more sympathetic framework in the drive towards net zero homes. The review will consider the findings from other Work Packages, the existing national and regional net zero and housing policies, and the wider policy issues that impact net zero, such as product safety and standards, levelling up, waste management, air quality, and digital services.

We are looking for a person with a passion for research and a demonstrable skill to work in a highly interdisciplinary environment. Aligned with the Tyndall Centres mission, you will contribute towards the research teams efforts to conduct research with genuine impact on policy and practice, and to publish in the very highest quality journals (indicatively, these might be Nature Climate Change, Nature Energy, and Journal of Environmental Science & Policy).
