899 Project Management Roles jobs in London

We're seeking expressions of interest from entrepreneurial individuals with deep technical domain expertise and keen interest in developing controllable, and adaptable solar radiation management (SRM) approaches.

About the Opportunity

At Deep Science Ventures, we see SRM as an additional tool to combat global warming - one that will buy us time to implement the emissions abatement and atmospheric removal technologies to align with our long-term climate target. As such, SRM can be seen as a treatment for the symptoms, while we scale solutions which solve the cause. However, solar radiation management or any form of geoengineering comes with large uncertainties and therefore high risks.

We aim to mitigate these risks by developing SRM approaches that are intrinsically controllable, yet still impactful, and adaptable to implement learnings to avoid unintended biophysical and social harm. These collaborator roles are opportunities to shape and define responsible SRM trials and lead by example on best practices to limit global warming.

We’re looking for Collaborators for this opportunity to:

• Initially, co-define an ambitious proposal - currently in process to be submitted for funding approval - for launching responsible and ethical SRM trials (on an ad-hoc, in-kind time commitment basis, roughly 2 hrs/week, starting asap);
• Upon successful approval of funds, co-drive the execution of the trials (on a part-time or full-time consultancy contract basis); and
• Depending on the outcomes of the trials, join DSV’s venture creation programme to co-found a new venture around the trialled SRM approach (full-time consultancy contract).

Requirements

We are looking for candidates with deep technical understanding acquired through a PhD or MSc with 3+ years of relevant experience in industry.

Most suitable candidates will meet one or multiple of the following criteria:

1. Geoengineer / Atmospheric Geochemist / Climatologist

• thorough understanding of climate models and atmospheric chemistry
• strong knowledge of commonly discussed SRM approaches such as SAI, MCB, and CCT

2. Physicist / Mechanical Engineer

• expertise in light-emitting devices and semiconductor technologies
• understanding of optics and the design and manufacturing of hardware solutions

3. Marine Biologist / Oceanographer

• understanding of arctic ecosystems and the formation and melting mechanisms of sea ice
• knowledge about the ocean's role in the planetary heat inventory

Skills & Qualities that define the perfect candidate are:

• extensively thinks about global warming and has a strong ambition to be part of the solution
• highly motivated and self-driven individual
• team player who's capable of working independently
