HN - Research Fellow: Project Earthstone
Posted 1 hour 29 minutes ago by Allscreens Nationwide Ltd
It is now clear that the active removal of atmospheric CO2 is essential if we are to limit the increase in global average temperature to the 1.5 C target set by the Paris Agreement. Enhanced Weathering (EW) is a geoengineering strategy that can help accelerate CO2 sequestration by amending soils with crushed reactive rocks to increase the rate of weathering. The process also releases nutrients that can help fertilize crop growth and protect against crop pathogens, potentially lowering fertilizer and pesticide usage.
We seek a Research Fellow to join us to interrogate data collected in EW field trials being conducted on croplands in Brazil. The Research Fellow will utilise geochemical data to add scientific and commercial value to the trials, for example through statistical analysis and method development for quantifying CO2 removal and determining mechanisms that control carbon and metal fluxes through the plant and soil system. You will work as a member of the Project Earthstone team and should have considerable experience in interrogating geochemical datasets and statistical analysis. Well-developed self and time-management skills and the ability to communicate clearly, both orally and in writing are essential.
The position is based in the School of Ocean and Earth Science, which is located at the University of Southampton's Waterfront Campus at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton.
The post is available from 01/10/2026 and is funded through to 31/12/2027.
Informal enquiries should be directed to Prof. Rachael James ().
