  6. Presentation of work at international and national conferences, at internal and external seminars, colloquia, and workshops to develop and enhance research profile.
  7. Supporting and contributing to FAIR principles, i.e., findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of research in geospatial data science within the school and the college by making data and code repositories available and reproducible, writing blogs, drafting technical/progress reports, and papers as appropriate.
  8. Collaborate with colleagues and participate in team/group meetings/seminars/workshops across the research team and the University and wider community.
  9. Take the lead on the organisation, supervision, mentoring, and training of undergraduate and/or postgraduate students and less experienced members of the project team to ensure their effective development.
  10. Contribute to outreach activities of the University of Glasgow and carry out modest teaching or supervision activities and associated admin as assigned by the Principal Investigator.
  11. Be responsible for safety management related to the organisation and running of Laboratory and/or Experimental techniques, equipment, and processes as appropriate.
  12. Engage in personal, professional, and career development to enhance both specialist and transferable skills in accordance with desired career trajectory.
  13. Take a leading role in the identification of potential funding sources and to assist in the development of proposals to secure funding from internal and external bodies to support future research.
  14. Undertake any other duties of equivalent standing as assigned by the PI.
