    * READER - Energy and Built Environment Research ~ Ref: LCCGR/15 ?
Salary
negotiable You will be responsible for major research deliverables
focused on
renewable energy and the built environment. You will supervise a team
of energy
research experts and support the development of new state-of-the-art
Energy
Visualisation and Low Carbon Buildings Laboratories. You will
contribute
substantially to the long-term sustainability of the research
programme, help
bring the institution to national and international prominence in the
energy
field and strongly influence related teaching developments. You will
have a PhD
in physics, engineering or a related discipline and have a strong and
growing
reputation in energy and built environment research. Extensive
experience of
advanced simulation tools such as Trnsys and Fluent is highly
desirable.

    * Research Associate Ref: LCCGR/12 Salary range £24,000- £30,000
The
successful candidate will be a key part of a team that is developing
and
implementing high-performance comput-ational software tools for
modelling
energy flow in the built environment. You will be responsible for
development
and visualisation of computational fluid dynamic solutions of
thermodynamic
equations with emphasis on wind, fluid and solar modelling. You will
have a
Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, Physics or related engineering or
science
discipline, a deep knowledge of numerical analysis, scientific
computing, and
nonlinear systems and knowledge of numerical methods.

    * Energy Engineer Ref: LCCGR/20 Salary range £25,000- £34,000 The
main
function of the post is to provide energy engineering and laboratory
management
support for a high quality applied research programme in renewable and

environment,
wind, solar, heat pump, and hydrogen technologies. Laboratory and
field
instrumentation will include thermographic, optical, and acoustic
sensing
systems. You will have extensive industry or engineering lab experience
and
will possess diverse applied skills in mechanical, electronic or
building
services engineering, with the ability to proceed from an engineering
design
phase to workshop prototype implementation and with a strong

science
discipline.

    * Research Associate Ref: LCCGR/9 Salary range £24,000- £30,000
The
successful candidate will be responsible for research in energy
economics.
Regional energy models, GIS models and case studies will be developed
supported
by tools such as Markal/Times, GreenNet and eTransport. You will have a
first
degree in Engineering or related science discipline, and a Ph.D with a
strong
emphasis on energy economics. Experience of GIS modelling is
desirable.

    * Researchers (7 positions) Ref: LCCGR/6, LCCGR/7, LCCGR/10,
LCCGR/11,
LCCGR/13, LCCGR/14, LCCGR/18 Salary package up to £16,000 Candidates
are
sought for experimental and theoretical research posts to work on
energy and
built environment projects, including energy software tool development,
wind
and solar systems, weather datasets, energy economics, novel building
materials, dynamic insulation, fuel cells and heat pumps. Research
project
durations of 1.5 and 3.5 years are available depending on aptitude and
preference. Applicants will be able to register with UHI Millennium
Institute
for M.Sc or PhD degrees in the field of Sustainability Studies. You
will have a
