Vacancy: Postdoctoral Research Associate

Assessor of Carbon Sequestration by Nature-based Climate Solutions, Forest Ecology Group (Coomes Lab), Cambridge Centre for Carbon Credits (4C), University of Cambridge, Cambridge UK.

The Position

The successful candidate will join the Cambridge Centre for Carbon Credits (4C) which aims to verify the claims and consequences of carbon credit generating activities, to ensure these have the most beneficial impact as we transition to a net-zero future.

You will assess and track changes in carbon stocks working with other research groups and private sector partners. You will bring together appropriate, trusted primary observations from ground-based surveys with remote sensing datasets to measure and track carbon stocks through time. The contexts would include key ecosystems, such as forests and peatlands. The data products should scale to the global level and will be used as an input to our automated system for generating carbon credits.
