Durham University - Physical and Environmental Sciences

Location: Durham
Salary: £29,605 to £36,024
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract

The Role

We invite applications for a one-year research assistant, to work on the topic of “Heat storage in abandoned coal mines.” The successful candidate will become an employee of Durham University.

This post will be part of the ICHS project, which aims to explore the feasibility of storing waste heat from Durham University’s data centre into those mine workings underneath its Science Site campus. Heat transport into the mine workings will be enabled through the drilling of two bore holes into those mine workings to set up an open-loop circulation system. The long-term aim will be to develop a system that balances the supply and demand of heat across the seasons. Such system will support UKRI’s aspiration to be net zero for its entire research undertaking by 2040, which includes any data centres it supports.

The Project

The successful candidate will perform research to assess the feasibility of storing heat into the mine workings during the summer months and retrieving the heat again during the winter to be used for heating buildings. This research will be performed through numerical modelling studies and experimental data collection.
