**Āu Mahi | What You Will Do**
We are offering an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate or Postdoctoral Fellow to undertake specified duties to assist with Derisking Carbon Dioxide Removal at Megatonne Scale in Aotearoa/New Zealand research, under the Megaton Carbon Removal MBIE research program.

In this project, you will assist research students and faculty and conduct research to support Task 1.2: Bioash Capture & Cement Experiments. This work will seek to develop the potential use of biomass ash as a material for both sequestration of CO2 and the development of low carbon binder systems for construction. You will utilize a variety of analytical equipment (ie. XRD, FTIR ) to assess and model the hydration and microstructural development of various cement binder systems and quantify the pore structure (ie. Resistivity, permeability ) of concrete produced from the biomass ash and other materials.

The research team is multi-institutional and you will be working with leaders internationally recognised in their field for making a truly positive impact on reversing water quality pollution. The position offers many continuous professional development opportunities, including the ability to co-write research grant proposals.
