<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:-.1pt"> It is now clear that the active removal of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> is essential if we are to limit the increase in global average temperature to the 1.5 °C
target set by the Paris Agreement. Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) is a geoengineering strategy that can help accelerate CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration by amending soils with crushed reactive rocks to increase the rate of weathering. The process also releases
nutrients that can help fertilize crop growth and protect against crop pathogens, potentially lowering fertilizer and pesticide usage.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.1pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:-.1pt">We seek a Research Fellow to join us in carrying out the world’s first field trials of ERW at sites in the USA, Sabah Malaysia and the UK. These large-scale trials
are providing vital new constraints on the rates of rock weathering in different agricultural settings, and hence the extent to which ERW can mitigate global greenhouse gas emissions. Applicants should have considerable experience in the collection and chemical
analysis of environmental samples (soils, drainage waters, rivers), well-developed self and time-management skills and the ability to communicate clearly, both orally and in writing are essential. The Research Fellow will be part of the interdisciplinary Leverhulme
Centre for Climate Change Mitigation (<a href="http://www.lc3m.org/"><span style="color:#005C85">www.lc3m.org</span></a>), and will work in close collaboration with other researchers leading lab-based experiments and modelling activities.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.1pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
