We are seeking a motivated and collaborative individual to join our team as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate on the Improving pollutant deposition estimates to upland ecosystems. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to a major research project aiming to make a significant step forward in our understanding of the processes that alter the deposition of nitrogen in complex upland terrain, and in our measurement and modelling tools to quantify this deposition. The work will involve field research at locations in both Scotland and the north of England. The research project is a partnership between CEH Edinburgh, University of Manchester, University of Exeter, Environment Agency and the MetOffice, providing a dynamic and inclusive environment.

• Play a coordinating role in the set up and delivery of the field experiments.
• Analyse and interpret the measurement data collected during the field experiments and publish key scientific outcomes.
• Use initiative and creativity to identify new research questions, assessment methods and opportunities for collaboration.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary researchers on broader air quality research challenges and play a role in building the collaborative team during and after field experiments.
• Build effective relationships with project partners, the Environment Agency and the Met Office, and wider research networks.
