- Develop and undertake research under supervision and as a member of the Co-Centre Monitoring Platform team within the Palaeo-modelling for peatland ecosystems research project.
- Design, develop and refine the use modelling approaches- Holocene Peat Model (HPM) or Digibog to look at how peatlands will respond under future climate scenarios in terms of their net carbon balance and other factors.
- Examine approaches to rehabilitate peatlands, ecologically (plant macros), and hydrologically (testate amoebae).
- Carry out analyses, critical evaluations, and interpretations using methodologies and other techniques appropriate to the area of research of Palaeo-modelling for peatland ecosystems.
- Substantial relevant research experience in the modelling of ecological (plant macros) and hydrological (testate amoebae) modelling.
- Experience in peat modelling approaches (e.g. Holocene Peat Model [HPM] or Digibog).
- Experience in terrestrial surveying and ground-based monitoring to investigate carbon accumulation, land-use (peatland ecosystems, biodiversity) change.
- Experience of using Geographical Information Systems (ArcGIS or open GIS such as QGIS).
- Ability to work in a multi-disciplinary environment as part of a research.
- Ability to contribute to teaching delivery, skills for green transition and science.
- Ability to contribute to broader management and administrative.
