An exciting opportunity has arisen for a new research role as part of the Green Algorithms Initiative in the Department of Public Health and Primary Care, one of Europe's leading academic departments of population health sciences. The post will suit researchers interested in understanding how computational scientists can be incentivised to conduct research more sustainably.

You will contribute to the design, rollout and data analysis of an international multi-centre trial studying the effectiveness of carbon reporting tools in reducing the environmental impacts of research computing. This will involve designing and refining study methodology, ensuring proper ethics approval is obtained, coordinating with the different centres for data collection, and analysing and interpreting the resulting data.
