Research Associate on Aircraft Emissions

This project is part of the NERC-funded REVEAL project focusing on non-carbon dioxide emissions of aircraft in cruise. This is in conjunction with work sponsored by the Aerospace Technology Institute, as such you will work with both the Department of Civil Engineering and Management and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

Overall Purpose of the Job

The purpose of this job is to lead on the technical calculations of aircraft emissions using dataset from our project partners and analytical code hosted at the University of Manchester. This will involve handling hundreds of thousands of flight tracks and their emissions. You will be working with state-of-the-art emissions models and developing your own suite of tools to aggregate emissions into a suitable input file for chemistry-climate models. This experience with emissions and a developing background in aircraft environment impacts will be leveraged into a study on noise emissions from advanced vehicle designs. These latter developments will be part of industry focused work as part of the Aerospace Technology Institute.
