<p>A position exists for a Research Associate to work on city-scale energy
simulation models of the built environment as part of the Energy Efficient
Cities initiative at Cambridge (<a href="http://www.eeci.cam.ac.uk">www.eeci.cam.ac.uk</a>).
This initiative aims to strengthen the UK's capacity to address energy demand
reduction and environmental impacts in cities through cross-disciplinary
research in building and transport technologies, district power systems, urban
planning and environmental impacts. Prospective applicants will work as part of
the EECi multidisciplinary team of researchers and collaboratively develop
models for investigating energy use and environmental conditions in urban
environments. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The researcher will be responsible for developing physics-based models to
compute energy and environmental emissions of urban areas and assess the impact
of policy interventions involving building technologies, urban infrastructures,
and energy supply systems. Candidates applying for this post must have a
doctoral degree in a relevant engineering or science discipline, and a strong
background in energy modelling of buildings, building physics, and relevant
experience in extending physics-based models on buildings to the urban scale.
The candidate is also expected to have very good computational skills -
particularly in running models such as TRANSYS, statistical packages in MATLAB
(for sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification), and/or numerical
optimization models. The tenure of the position will range from 1.5 years,
renewable up to 3 years. Starting date of the position will be agreed upon with
selected candidates. <o:p></o:p></p>
