The University of Manchester has an exciting opportunity for someone with strong **statistical and/or machine learning and programming skills** to join an interdisciplinary project team to help support the development of the £8m NERC funded Digital Solutions Programme. You will be working with a mixture of academics, post-doctoral researchers, software engineers and a broad user community and working closely with the Programme leader, Professor Richard Kingston.
NERC’s Digital Solutions programme was created to develop innovative digital services that deliver economic, societal, and environmental benefits across the UK. It has been designed to move beyond just academic use and exploitation of existing data holdings. Our ethos is to build a Digital Solutions Hub as a gateway to a broad set of inter-connected toolkits that facilitate improved access and better use of NERC data. These may already exist, or will be created with our partners, which include the NHS, Defra, PHE and HSE, as well as local and regional SMEs and individual members of society. Providing easier access to NERC's environmental data offers opportunities for improving peoples' health and better understanding the impacts of climate change on people, land, and property across the UK. Initially we will focus on two areas 'A Connected Healthy Nation' and 'A Climate Ready Nation' as use cases. It is expected, as the programme develops, more use cases will come online.
The focus of the Digital Solutions Programme, based at the University of Manchester, is to build a UK wide decision support system at the cutting edge of theory and practice and will contribute to improvements in the overall quality of environmental decision making in public, private and third sector settings throughout the UK. Developing productive partnerships with policymakers and practitioners in a range of sectors, including social, economic, environmental and health will be a key role for these posts. This is to ensure the digital solutions programme develops a working ‘hub’ that support their short, medium and longer term planning.
As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status. All appointments are made on merit.
Our University is positive about flexible working - you can find out more here
