Key Responsibilities
  • Manage a network of low-cost air quality sensors and engage with participants from diverse communities across Newcastle upon Tyne.
  • Conduct individual and collaborative research, including data analytics, interviews, workshops, and public events.
  • Contribute to the development of research methodologies and techniques, and write up research work for publication and dissemination.
  • Support the delivery of research activity and contribute to impact through knowledge transfer.
About the Team

The project involves working with a multi-disciplinary team across three Departments and with partners at Newcastle University, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the Building Research Establishment, and Newcastle City Council.

About You

We are looking for a candidate with a PhD (or equivalent experience) in a relevant discipline and demonstrable specialist knowledge and skills in air quality monitoring, quantitative research activity, programming, and data analytics. Excellent interpersonal skills and experience working with community participants are essential.
