The Faculty Research Fellowship scheme aims to provide outstanding enthusiastic and dedicated scientists, who have the potential to become leaders in their chosen field, with the opportunity to build an independent research career.
We are seeking a new ECR Fellow to lead in the broad field of Nature-based climate-solutions, encompassing mitigation and natural carbon sinks, and undertake research that complements and supports our strengths in this area. This overarching theme integrates research across several of our leading groups. The Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation (LC3M) is providing evidence and solutions for the deployment of enhanced rock weathering with agricultural systems worldwide as a means of removing atmospheric carbon dioxide to mitigation climate change with co-benefits for crop production and soil health. Our research on natural ecosystems and ecology provides the means for enhancing terrestrial carbon sequestration and monitoring and mitigating vegetation and biodiversity losses at the global scale; our work in agriculture considers the impact of farming practices on greenhouse gas emissions from crops and soils, whilst our fundamental studies are uncovering the mechanistic details of plant gas exchange and photosynthesis.
You will lead a high quality independent, and collaborative research program and help shape the wider research area in Sheffield.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
