Job Vacancies

There are two vacancies at the IEA GHG, as the Programme is being restructured to meet increasing work requirements. One vacancy is for a full time staff member to manage our activities on CO2 capture and integrated systems analysis activities. The second is for a part time project officer to support this manager. We wish to appoint well organised, enthusiastic people to join the IEA GHG at its offices based in Cheltenham, UK.

The IEA GHG undertakes about fifteen technical studies each year for its international members. The subjects studied are selected by the members. They cover technical developments and issues concerned with greenhouse gas mitigation in the power sector and large manufacturing industry. Whilst the focus of our activities is on CO2 capture and storage (CCS), there is also a need to be aware of and to evaluate other technical options for greenhouse gas mitigation. In addition, the IEA GHG organises a number of international research networks on CO2 capture which are used to keep its members abreast of new developments and highlight areas for future study by the IEA GHG.

The successful candidates will be required to write clear and authoritative reports on all aspects of greenhouse gas mitigation and CCS. The appointee for the manager position will be required to manage a share of the work programme and supporting IEA GHG staff. The persons appointed should be self motivated and with the ability to work within a team of qualified and experienced engineers, technologists and scientists. The appointees will have an excellent command of written and spoken English and the ability to communicate effectively with the members of IEA GHG in terms of gathering and disseminating information at meetings and conferences. Knowledge of other languages would be an advantage.

Competitive salaries will be offered. It is expected that the successful candidates will be educated to degree or post-graduate standard in an appropriate engineering, environmental or earth sciences subject with relevant background in industry or in a research position.
