Durham Energy Institute is a leading UK energy research institute.  Based-upon our success at winning research funding we are one of the UK's leading university research communities in at least five energy disciplines: offshore wind, photovoltaics, carbon capture and storage, electricity transmission and smart grids.  We also have strong capabilities in technologies for fusion energy and biofuels.  Our unique offering is that we link societal research to these technology areas.

*Six New Energy Posts*

Durham Energy Institute is seeking to recruit senior academics to fill six posts across a range of energy-related disciplines.  The posts are as below:

• Professor/Reader in Bioenergy
• Professor/Reader in Carbon Capture and Storage
• Professor/Reader in Energy Vulnerability, Adaptation & Resilience
• Professor/Reader in Smart Grids, Transmission and Energy Storage
• Professor in Solar Energy (Photovoltaics)
• Professor in Unconventional Hydrocarbons

"From Anthropology to Physics, Durham Energy Institute covers the spectrum of energy research but the areas in which we excel are those which lie at the boundaries between the traditional technical disciplines and the social sciences and humanities. We encourage such interdisciplinary work as we feel these areas will yield major breakthroughs. The small size and compact nature of the university is to our advantage as it naturally stimulates interactions between departments and disciplines. Thus, we are agile and responsive and we can quickly assemble bespoke-research teams."
