Candidates must hold a degree, ideally a PhD, in an appropriate field (for example, building services engineering, mechanical engineering, civil Engineering, chemical engineering or physics). They should also have sound expertise in renewable energy, thermal modelling and experimentation in energy systems.

The post is offered on a fixed-term contract until 28 February 2025. Hours of work are part time, 20 hours per week.
