Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Enhanced Rock Weathering

We seek a Research Fellow to join us in carrying out the world’s first field trials of ERW at sites in the USA, Sabah Malaysia and the UK. These large-scale trials are providing vital new constraints on the rates of rock weathering in different agricultural settings, and hence the extent to which ERW can mitigate global greenhouse gas emissions. Applicants should have considerable experience in the collection and chemical analysis of environmental samples (soils, drainage waters, rivers), well-developed self and time-management skills and the ability to communicate clearly, both orally and in writing are essential. The Research Fellow will be part of the interdisciplinary Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation (www.lc3m.org), and will work in close collaboration with other researchers leading lab-based experiments and modelling activities.

The position is based in the School of Ocean and Earth Science, which is located at the University of Southampton’s Waterfront Campus at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton. The post is available immediately and is funded through to 31 May 2026.

The application deadline is 22nd July 2023
