This post will be part of a team of researchers at UCL and MIT investigating the ability to improve estimates of pollutant emissions from rocket launches to better constrain the atmospheric impacts of this emerging pollution source. The position is funded by a Leverhulme Research Project Grant awarded to Prof Marais in June this year (https://www.leverhulme.ac.uk/listings?field_grant_scheme_target_id=15).
The Research Fellow will have the exciting opportunity to learn to use and adapt an existing plume model to simulate pollution from rockets during launch. This will then provide the synthetic observations needed to validate top-down emission inversion estimates from space-based remote sensing instruments.
The Research Fellow will also gather datasets of launch locations and timings, and of rocket characteristics to (i) mine satellite data for coincidences between launches and instrument overpasses or scans, (ii) interpret key factors affecting pollutant emissions from launches, and (iii) maintain UCL's world-leading online tracker of rocket launch emissions (https://orbitalemissions.org/).

University College London (UCL) is one of the world's top universities. Based in the heart of London, it is a dynamic, outward-looking institution. At its establishment in 1826, UCL was radical and responsive to the needs of society, and this ethos - that excellence should go hand-in-hand with enriching society - continues today.
The UCL Department of Geography is a leading UK and global department, with a heritage of excellence in research, renowned for its innovative and interdisciplinary research to understanding complex global challenges. It brings together expertise in physical and human geography to explore critical issues such as climate change, sustainable development, and social justice. The department fosters an interdisciplinary approach, equipping students and researchers with the skills to critically engage with the complex interactions between people, places, and environments.
The Department is committed to the values of equality, diversity and inclusion and we have an active Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and networks for BME, LGBTQ, and disabled/neurodiverse staff and students. The Department recognises the importance of family-friendly working, and we try, as far as possible, to organise meetings and events with staff responsibilities as parents and carers in mind. In 2022, the Department was awarded an Athena SWAN Silver award in recognition of our advancement of gender equality: representation, progression, and success. Above all the Department aims to be a supportive environment for both its staff and
students. More information can be found here: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/social-historical-
