The Department of Computer Science at Durham University is seeking a talented individual to fill the role of Associate Professor.
Key Responsibilities:
* Conduct research in decision-making processes related to climate, environmental, economic, and policy pathways.
* Utilize Digital Twin technologies (modelling, simulations, and infrastructure), applied AI, and uncertainty quantification to support research.
About the Role:
This permanent position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of research in Computer Science.
The successful candidate will play a leading role in the JusTN0W initiative, a world-leading interdisciplinary work programme researching sustainable and just solutions for accelerated decarbonisation of economies.
With a reduced teaching load and startup travel budget, the candidate will be able to focus on high-quality research, grant applications, and initiatives to engage other staff in JusTN0W-related opportunities.
The appointment will be reviewed after four years based on grant income, potentially transitioning to a primarily research role or an Education and Research Track position with a standard teaching load.
