We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on the interdisciplinary project ‘Strategic Hydrogen Integration for Effective Low-Carbon Development (SHIELD)’ in Ukraine, led by Professor Stephanie Hirmer (Energy and Power Group) and Professor Rene Bañares-Alcántara (OXGATE Group) at the Department of Engineering Science, Osney Mead.  The post is funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and is fixed-term until 31 March 2026

 

The postholder will play a critical role in supporting Ukraine's Energy Independence and Decarbonization Strategy. This initiative is a crucial element of the country's efforts to transition to green hydrogen and ammonia as part of its broader energy security goals. Responsibilities will include the development of location-specific decision support tools for the production and integration of green hydrogen and ammonia into Ukraine's energy system using geospatial modelling tools. This work is pivotal as Ukraine aims to enhance its energy infrastructure resilience and align with the Central European Hydrogen Corridor.

 

The postholder will collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of policy experts, whole system energy modellers, and finance researchers. Your focus will be on incorporating socio-economic factors and existing infrastructure into the geospatial models to ensure the solutions are inclusive and effective. This role involves engaging with local stakeholders and policymakers to ensure the project's alignment with national energy strategies and contributing to initiatives that promote gender equality and social inclusion.

 

You should hold a relevant PhD/DPhil (or be near completion), with the possibility to underfill at Grade 6 (£32,332 - £38,205 per annum) if you hold a relevant degree/Masters and working towards a PhD/DPhil, together with relevant experience.

Engineering Science Department Engineering teaching and research takes place at Oxford in a unified Department of Engineering Science whose academic staff are committed to a common engineering foundation as well as to advanced work in their own specialties, which include most branches of the subject. We have especially strong links with computer science, materials science, medicine and also the Saïd Business School. The Department employs 120 academic staff (this number includes 13 statutory professors appointed in the main branches of the discipline, and 25 full professors); in addition, there are nine visiting professors. There is an experienced team of teaching support staff, professional services and administrative staff and technicians. The Department has well-equipped laboratories and workshops, which together with offices, lecture theatres, library and other facilities have a net floor area of about 25,000 square metres. The Department is ranked fifth in the world, and the top European University, in the 2023 Times Higher Education World University Rankings for Engineering & Technology. Further information about the Department is available at www.eng.ox.ac.uk. Teaching We aim to admit 170-180 undergraduates per year to take a 4-year course leading to the MEng degree in Engineering Science. The course is accredited at MEng level by the major engineering G7 PDRA Job Desc_GH2 Ukraine GW 290724 4 institutions. The syllabus has a common core extending through the first two years. Specialist options are introduced in the third year, and the fourth year includes further specialist material and a major project. Research Research in the Department is particularly strong. We have approximately 600 research students and about 250 postdoctoral researchers. Direct funding of research grants and contracts, from a variety of sources, amounts to an annual turnover of approximately £70m. The results of the seven-yearly UK-wide assessment of university research, REF2021, published on 12th May 2022, demonstrate that the University of Oxford made the highest volume of world-leading research submissions. The Department of Engineering Science had 71% of submissions which met the requirements for the highest grading of 4*(research that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance, and rigour). Research activities fall into 8 broad headings, though there is much overlapping in practice: Information Engineering (Robotics, Computer Vision and Machine Learning); Control; Thermofluids; Materials and Mechanics; Civil and Offshore; Electrical and Optoelectronic; Chemical and Process; and Biomedical. The Department of Engineering Science holds a bronze Athena Swan award to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all. The Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences Division The Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division is one of the four academic divisions of the University. In the results of the six-yearly UK-wide assessment of university research, REF2014, the MPLS division received the highest overall grade point average (GPA) and the highest GPA for outputs. We received the highest proportion of 4* outputs, and the highest proportion of 4* activity overall. More than 50 per cent of MPLS activity was assessed as world leading. The MPLS Division's 10 departments and 3 interdisciplinary units span the full spectrum of the mathematical, computational, physical, engineering and life sciences, and undertake both fundamental research and cutting-edge applied work. Our research addresses major societal and technological challenges and is increasingly focused on key interdisciplinary issues. MPLS is proud to be the home of some of the most creative and innovative scientific thinkers and leaders working in academe. We have a strong tradition of attracting and nurturing the very best early career researchers who regularly secure prestigious fellowships We have around 6,000 students and play a major role in training the next generation of leading scientists. Oxford's international reputation for excellence in teaching is reflected in its position at the top of the major league tables and subject assessments. MPLS is dedicated to bringing the wonder and potential of science to the attention of audiences far beyond the world of academia. We have a strong commitment to supporting public engagement in science through initiatives including the Oxford Sparks portal (http://www.oxfordsparks.net/) and a large variety of outreach activities. We also endeavour to bring the potential of our scientific efforts forward for practical and beneficial application to the real world and our desire is to link our best scientific minds with industry and public policy makers.
