Reaching our national and global climate goals will require not only the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases, but also the scaling up of a range of techniques, so called GGRs, that take greenhouse gases back out of the atmosphere permanently. To meet this need, UKRI has launched a £31.5m **GGR-D programme **, which includes CO2RE and five demonstration projects around the UK. CO2RE will conduct cross-cutting research on the environmental, economic, social, cultural, ethical, legal and governance issues around GGR.

Key responsibilities in the role include providing leadership and expertise in legal analysis, running empirical research studies and conducting data analysis, planning knowledge exchange activities with partners and the public, contributing to the project toolkit development, disseminating high quality research outputs and being a core member of the interdisciplinary team.

The post-holder line manager is Mr Navraj Singh Ghaleigh, and will be based in the School of Law, University of Edinburgh. The post-holder will work closely with other investigators at the University of Edinburgh, and across the CO2RE GGR Hub and GGR-D programme.

This post is fixed-term for 12 months.

**Your skills and attributes for success**:

- Hold, or be close to completion of, a postgraduate degree (PhD/DPhil or Masters) in Law, a legal qualification and post qualified experience may also be taken into account where relevant
- Knowledge of and research on the interaction of legal and regulatory regimes as they relate to GGRs
