Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

**About the Opportunity**

We are seeking an exceptional researcher to join our team in the Department of Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Cambridge.

The successful candidate will lead projects improving how computing environmental impacts are estimated and reported, investigating the impact of growing scientific fields through targeted case studies. You will explore ways to better integrate life-cycle analyses in these estimations, expand environmental impacts beyond carbon footprints, and quantify the estimates' uncertainty.

This research will be a key component of making computing more sustainable by drastically improving the reporting of computing impacts and shedding light on the carbon footprint of specific fields. You will work closely with senior scientists in the Green Algorithms Initiative, including Dr Loïc Lannelongue and Professor Michael Inouye, and other members of the Department and scientific collaborators.

**Required Skills and Qualifications**

To succeed in this role, you should have a strong interest in the intersection between computing, science, and environmental sustainability. You will have an MSc or PhD (or equivalent experience) in computer science, applied informatics (e.g., bioinformatics), sustainability, or other related subject. Excellent verbal and written communications skills, as well as strong organisational skills, are essential.

**Benefits and Opportunities**

This full-time position offers a salary range of £32,296 - £45,163 per annum, depending on experience. The appointment is initially for 2 years, with the possibility of extension. You will be based in the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart & Lung Research Institute, Biomedical Campus, Cambridge CB2 0BD.

The University actively supports equality, diversity, and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society. The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
