Network Infrastructure Carbon Modelling Associate (KTP)

What you will be doing:

• Developing and applying innovative environmental assessment methodologies
• Gathering and analysing large datasets from network monitoring systems, and translating them into reliable emissions metrics
• Designing, building, and testing prototype software tools that integrate technical, environmental, and operational data
• Embedding the methodology and tools into Jisc’s processes
• Publishing high-quality outputs and contributing to wider sector engagement
• You will be the project lead, managing your own workload and ensuring outputs, including leading on meetings and workshops
• Direct problem-solving activities and your own learning
• You’ll have creative freedom to suggest changes and develop the project plan.

You should apply if you have:

• First degree in Computer Science with a focus on sustainability and an MSc (or PhD) in a related research topic
• Background in network engineering or related environmental sciences
• Experience working with statistical data and systems thinking
• Quantitative skills, including statistical analysis, data handling (large datasets, network telemetry)
• Knowledge of or willingness to learn Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), particularly ICT-sector and change-oriented methods
• Excellent communication, project management and problem-solving skills.

This is a 28 month KTP project with Jisc to develop an advanced methodology and tool for assessing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from large-scale ICT networks to achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2040.

As a KTP Associate based at Jisc (Bristol) you will work closely with senior leaders in both academia and industry to embed new knowledge and build your skillset to drive sustainability transformation in the ICT sector. You will be able to apply your degree in real world applications with the role, gaining deep expertise at the intersection of digital infrastructure and industry whilst retaining links to academia.
