[ES_JOBS_NET] postdoc in land-based CO2 removal strategies (Univ of Sheffield, UK)

[Maria Val Martin]

Dear Colleagues,

We have an exciting opportunity for a talented individual interested in 
climate change mitigation to join the School ofBiosciences at University 
of Sheffield (UK) and investigate the unexamined and unintended 
consequences of large-scale deployment of land-based CO2removal (CDR) 
strategies (reforestation, peatland restoration, bioenergy crops and 
enhanced rock weathering), and theextent to which these strategies can 
help the UK meet targets set in their Net Zero commitment.

You will join the group ledby Dr Maria Val Martin at the University of 
Sheffield. As a part of the team, you will be also working closely with 
colleagues at the Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation(LC3M) 
of University of Sheffield, the National Center for Atmospheric Research 
(NCAR, Colorado, US), UKCEH, theUK Government BEIS Department.

You will be expected to undertake a range of roles, mainly leading the 
development of a series of land use and land coverscenarios with natural 
and agricultural systems (reforestation, peatland restoration, enhanced 
rock weathering andbioenergy crops), following the UK Net Zero 
commitments. Later, you will use these scenarios within a 
high-resolution landmodel and atmospheric chemical transport model (eg, 
MUSICA) to study the indirect atmospheric impacts from the 
large-scaledeployment of such as strategies, and potential implications 
for air quality, human and vegetation health, and climate.

To find out what makes the University of Sheffield a remarkable place to 
work, watch this short film:
