The School of Natural and Built Environment in conjunction with the Queen's Business School are seeking to hire two Research Assistants to work on the €20/£17.3m multi-partner, all-island geothermal energy demonstration project GEMINI supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). The PEACEPLUS programme is co-funded by the European Union, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Government of Ireland, and the Northern Ireland administration.
The Research Assistants will undertake research tasks during the project with the support of the project’s coinvestigators based at Queen’s University Belfast and the network of project partners. The momentum sustaining work may include community group and stakeholder engagement, attending geoenergy policy events, demonstration projects, start-ups, or exploring novel technology awareness, readiness and use.
The posts are fixed-term for 45 months, starting 1st January 2025 (or as soon as possible thereafter) with the possibility of an extension to 48 months, subject to funder’s agreement. A key component of the posts is to support and build geoenergy networks and undertake field behavioural research on the geoenergy transition across the island of Ireland.
