The GALLANT programme is a £10.2M NERC funded strategic project to develop sustainable solutions for the city of Glasgow. GALLANT has 3 overarching work streams (WSs) investigating a system wide approach, ensuring community collaboration and providing a ‘Data hub’ through the Data & Data Analytics work stream. This is coupled with 5 work packages (WPs) investigating key environmental challenges across flood risk, biodiversity loss, regenerating vacant and derelict land, active travel and sustainable energy. Key to future city planning for sustainable solutions is information from the integration and analysis of data from across the work streams and environmental challenge areas to inform future decision making for policy and community action. The purpose of this role is to work with WS3 (Data & Data Analytics), researchers within GALLANT and colleagues in Glasgow City Council (GCC) to connect data streams across GALLANT and identify where GALLANT data, data analytics and visualisation could add value to work of individual WP/WSs and current GCC data and policy work. Additionally, this role will develop analytics (statistical modelling and data driven analytics) to investigate cross-cutting scenarios/hypotheses as identified across GALLANT to support GCC planning and community engagement. The successful applicant will also work closely with data scientists and PDRAs in the systems modelling and community collaboration work streams to support development of visualisations of data and model outputs. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow. This post is full time, and has funding for up to 31/12/2026.
