The Defra/DfT Joint Air Quality Unit (JAQU) wishes to recruit a G7 and two SEOs and we welcome applications from those from a scientific background. JAQU is responsible for driving delivery of the UK Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations, published in July 2017. Air quality is a highly sensitive, challenging topic which makes JAQU a stimulating, fast-paced unit to work in with significant ministerial interest.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
