Research Assistant

This post is full time and fixed term until 31.3.25.

We have an opportunity for a Research Assistant to contribute to the Sensing Enhanced Housing Survey project funded by Urban Big Data Centre, working with Dr Qunshan Zhao and Dr Grant Tregonning.

This project is part of the Understanding Society Innovation Panel (https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/innovation-panel/) in 2024 to draw a representative sample to carry out a larger indoor environment study. This project is a three-way collaboration between UBDC’s Urban Sensing & Analytics Team, the UCL Smart Energy Research Lab/Energy Demand Observatory and Laboratory (https://serl.ac.uk/ and https://edol.uk/), and the Understanding Society’s Innovation Panel.

We aim to monitor indoor residential environments and energy using low-cost housing sensors and smart-meters, and linking these data with building performance and social-demographic data. This sensor-enhanced housing survey will roll out to 200-300 households from the national longitudinal panel.

Informal enquiries about the role are welcomed, and should be addressed to Dr Qunshan Zhao, Qunshan.Zhao@glasgow.ac.uk
