The team you will join works internationally to support the development of integrated strategies for the mitigation of air pollution and climate change (https://www.sei.org/centres/york/research-areas/air-quality-climate-change/).   This research supports the activities of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), as well as research projects assisting national and sub-national governments plan strategies to achieve development benefits by reducing impacts on human health, crop yields, and contributing to the global drive to combat climate change. This focus of this support are the countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America.

You will work on projects as part of the team that help decision makers at national and sub-national scales to plan their emission reductions and realise multiple benefits, reducing health impacts, limiting global warming, and achieving sustainable development goals. You will work with other colleagues at SEI York to engage with people and train them and help them to develop emission inventories, assess the mitigation potential of various policies and plans for the transport sector and assess the potential of these policies to have additional co-benefits to improve health.  The researcher appointed will focus on building the capacity of key stakeholders in partner countries, through providing training on the development of emission inventories, baseline and mitigation scenarios and benefits estimation, including health benefits from reduced air pollution.
