Research Associate in Global Scaleup of Subsurface CO2 Storage for Climate Change Mitigation

Join the Fight Against Climate Change: Research Associate in Global Scaleup of Subsurface CO2 Storage We are excited to announce an exceptional opportunity for a Research Associate to join our internationally leading Subsurface CO2 Research Group at Imperial College London. As a key player in the global effort to combat climate change, you will be working on a critical project to investigate the global scaleup of subsurface CO2 storage. This is a unique chance to contribute to groundbreaking research, collaborate with renowned experts, and advance your career in a world-leading institution. About the Role The Research Associate will play a vital role in evaluating the potential for geographic, geologic, and techno-economic constraints to lead to bottlenecks in the development of large-scale CO2 storage globally. You will work with our team to analyze and develop models that assess the physical and techno-economic limitations to scaling up CO2 storage regionally. Additionally, you will collaborate with a consortium and stakeholders to establish a register of annual amounts of CO2 stored underground, ultimately constructing models for plausible development trajectories that can be incorporated into energy systems models. Key Responsibilities: Conduct research and analysis to evaluate the potential for geographic, geologic, and techno-economic constraints to lead to bottlenecks in the development of large-scale CO2 storage globally Develop and apply models to assess the physical and techno-economic limitations to scaling up CO2 storage regionally Collaborate with a consortium and stakeholders to establish a register of annual amounts of CO2 stored underground Construct models for plausible development trajectories that can be incorporated into energy systems models Publish research findings in leading journals and present at conferences Contribute to the development of the Subsurface CO2 Storage Research Group's research agenda and strategy What We Are Looking For We are seeking a highly motivated and talented individual who meets the following criteria: A completed or near-to-be-completed PhD, or equivalent, in the modelling and analysis of subsurface carbon storage, energy systems, or integrated assessment models, or in a related field A track record of publishing papers in leading journals Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to develop and apply complex models Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with stakeholders and team members A strong understanding of the role of CO2 storage in climate change mitigation and the challenges associated with large-scale deployment What We Can Offer You By joining our team, you will benefit from: The opportunity to work in an internationally leading research group at a world-renowned institution A sector-leading salary and remuneration package, including 38 days of annual leave A supportive and nurturing environment that encourages career development and growth The chance to contribute to groundbreaking research with significant implications for climate change mitigation Opportunities for professional development, including training and conference attendance Work Environment and Company Culture Our team is part of the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London, a friendly and nurturing department that combines teaching and research in Earth Sciences with related Engineering disciplines. We value a collaborative and inclusive work environment, where everyone has the opportunity to contribute and grow. Compensation, Perks, and Benefits We offer a competitive salary, 38 days of annual leave, and a range of benefits that support your well-being and career development. Career Growth Opportunities and Learning Benefits As a Research Associate in our team, you will have the opportunity to: Develop your research skills and expertise in a rapidly evolving field Collaborate with leading experts and contribute to high-impact research Publish your research findings in leading journals and present at conferences Advance your career in a world-leading institution How to Apply If you are passionate about climate change mitigation and have a strong background in subsurface CO2 storage, energy systems, or a related field, we encourage you to apply for this exceptional opportunity.
