**The role**:
This is an exciting opportunity to join the recently awarded UK-funded CANDISE project (EP/X038858/1).Together with our globally leading industrial (including Akamai, BT, Meta, Netflix, and Sony) and academic partners from the US and the EU you will study how technological innovation towards the low carbon economy transforms the sector's environmental footprint, and how to synergistically align all stakeholders.

Current thinking about the carbon footprint of digital services tends to take a short-term view.

**What will you be doing?**:

- You will conduct original research studying the future carbon impacts of high-bandwidth digital services, including video streaming, gaming and virtual reality.
- For your assessments of the life-cycle carbon impacts you will interview and design workshops between engineers, designers and business managers from organisations across the supply chain.
- You will co-author high-impact publications and collaborate with other researchers in the team.

You will be part of a highly inclusive and supportive team and wider work environment at the University of Bristol. We provide training to support your needs, and time is allocated for professional development.
- You have a PhD or equivalent expertise in a relevant, related field and a track record of leading high-impact academic publications.
- Demonstrable experience in quantitative data analysis and excellent communication skills are an essential for this role.
- Experience of qualitative research skills or an openness to learn these would be desirable.
