The Role and the Department

The role is to assist the project manager for EPSRC-funded network for EDI in the Energy Research Community, 'EDI+'. The vision for the EDI+ network is to acknowledge and address key challenges and equip a cohort of researchers and their organizations to make lasting changes toward a diverse, equitable, inclusive and accessible research community. This will have impact beyond the academy and set a precedent, offering the means to tailor EDI action among the divers organizations participating in energy research. The network takes to the form of a fellowship programme, which will recruit EDI champions from diverse energy research institutions; train them in EDI issues, research methods for analysing organisational context, how to make organisational changes, and how to implement and evaluate plans of action, and support them to publish their results. All fellows will have the support of a named senior executive of their organization and the option to participate in cross-institutional reciprocal mentoring to embed learning and change in the institutional context. The 'fellows' will form a mutually supportive network that should endure beyond the life of the funding scheme. EPSRC funded fellows will be complemented by industry- and government- funded fellows to expand the network beyond the funded call, and with the establishment of an alumni network, will offer the potential for the network to endure beyond the funding period.

Selected training events will be open to the wider energy research community, who will also have access to a toolkit on EDI actions in context and all other network publications. Additional impact will include workshops and presentations to coincide with existing conference and research events, to maximise the reach of the network. Findings Will be Shared and promoted through a 'network of networks' approach across the energy community nationally and internationally.

The Grant Administrator will work closely with the project manager in supporting the coordination of multiple work strands across the project to meet funding objectives.

About Industrial Joint-Lab on Smart Mobility and Transportation

The primary aim of this laboratory is to develop innovative technologies that address the growing complexities and demands of modern urban mobility. Through pioneering research and development, the lab seeks to create solutions that are adaptable, scalable, and capable of improving urban transportation systems.

In close collaboration with industry partners, the laboratory focuses on enhancing traffic safety, efficiency, and sustainability. This includes developing state-of-the-art communication protocols, sensor technologies, and AI-driven decision-making systems that empower smarter mobility infrastructure. A core emphasis lies in advancing autonomous driving technologies and connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) to enable seamless vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication.

By integrating these technologies, the lab aims to reduce road accidents, optimise traffic flow, and mitigate congestion in increasingly dense urban environments. The research also explores the deployment of resilient and adaptive systems that can handle real-time data from complex environments, enabling CAVs to make instantaneous and accurate decisions.

Additionally, the lab addresses the broader ecosystem of urban mobility, including eco-friendly solutions and sustainable transportation models that align with smart city initiatives. This comprehensive approach ensures that the technologies developed not only meet current mobility challenges but also anticipate future demands, facilitating safer, greener, and more efficient urban transport networks.
