Job Title:Senior Research Associate in Vehicle Emission ModellingJob Reference:REQ250149Date Posted:Mon, 3 Mar 2025 00:00:00 GMTApplication Closing Date:Tue, 25 Mar 2025 00:00:00 GMTLocation:LoughboroughPackage:Specialist and Supporting Academic grade 7 from £46735 to £55755 per annum. Subject to annual pay award.

A Senior Research Associate is required to provide management, leadership, technical expertise, and delivery for research activities relating to the development of an air quality analysis and prediction tool. Emphasis will be placed on the understanding and enhancement of air quality analysis modelling for vehicles using advanced data analytic and <SPAN > </SPAN> optimisation methods.  The post holder will be expected to co-ordinate the delivery of high-quality project and research outputs. They will provide supervisory support to a team of researchers as well as relationship management of the industrial partner to ensure milestones are met and research activities align with project objectives.

 

Project Description

Air quality is a growing global concern, driving legislative efforts such as the Green Deal. The European Union is leading the push for zero air pollution by 2050 through the Ambient Air Quality Directive. Among the major contributors to urban air pollution, road transport emissions stand out as a key challenge.  This research aims to advance our understanding of the environmental impact of diverse road transport technologies, including various powertrain systems. Adopting a systems engineering approach, it will harness the power of advanced data analytics and predictive modelling, integrating digital twins and artificial intelligence to develop an innovative air quality modelling tool. This tool will enable direct comparative analysis of different transport technologies, providing a data-driven foundation for strategic decision-making. This holistic approach, incorporating life cycle analysis and considerations of societal and economic factors, will help identify the most effective pathways for passenger transportation fleets to comply with WHO Air Quality Standards, both locally and globally, while advancing toward a future of zero pollution. 

 

The successful applicant will be based in the Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering, joining an active research community conducting impactful research, with a focus on addressing global challenges, with key areas including sustainable aviation, net-zero transportation, autonomous and intelligent systems, systems reliability and health management, mechanics and dynamics, and mathematical modelling and simulation.
