Job Summary
We are looking for an experimental researcher to join us as a Research Associate on the interdisciplinary NERC-funded project “Quantifying the true carbon removal potential of enhanced rock weathering”, a collaboration between the departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Life sciences at Imperial College London, and the department of Geography at the University of Birmingham.
The post will commence in October 2024. The project’s aim is to understand in its full complexity the artificial acceleration of the carbonate-silicate cycling, from the land surface to the oceans in order to use it as a negative emissions technology. This post will focus on the part of the cycling relevant to the aquatic environment of the cycling.
During the project you will be in charge of designing and implementing a series of aquatic ecology experiments to understand the aquatic and biogeochemical transport and transformation mechanisms of enhanced weathering products in UK rivers. The experiments will be conducted at the state-of-the-art facilities of the University of Birmingham and you will be supported by infrastructure and laboratory technicians at both Imperial College London and the University of Birmingham.
