The project combines passive smartphone tracking\, Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and l ongitudinal surveys with around 750 children and young people aged 10-17. THE ROLE: the Research Officer plays a central part in project management\ , development\, data collection and analysis\, with particular responsibil ity for developing and refining EMA instruments\, contributing to the rese arch literature and hypotheses\, supporting participatory and consultative work with children\, and conducting statistical analysis and producing fi ndings\, working closely with partners in the UK\, Brazil and Kenya. REQUI REMENTS: a completed PhD in a relevant discipline (e.g. media and communic ations\, psychology\, psychiatry\, sociology\, education\, or computationa l/data social science)\; experience developing surveys or questionnaire in struments\; experience designing or conducting longitudinal research studi es\; and experience with EMA\, experience-sampling or other intensive long itudinal data collection methods.

Decarbonisation is the only sustainable route out of the climate crisis\, but environmental changes are outpacing current mitigation efforts\, and if an abrupt alteration in a climate syst em were to unfold we would have no tools to mitigate the effects\; scienti fic\, engineering and social science research could provide practical and responsible intervention and adaptation options. WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR : ideas ranging from early-stage\, curiosity-driven research through to ad vanced translational science. Specific areas of interest include\, but are not limited to: carbon dioxide removal (novel concepts to accelerate the drawdown of atmospheric carbon)\; extreme weather forecasting (breakthroug hs in predicting extreme weather events to better prepare vulnerable syste ms)\; and new ideas related to solar geoengineering\, strictly excluding p roposals specifically designed to investigate altering the Earth's surface temperature by affecting planetary albedo\, incoming solar radiation\, or the atmosphere's emissivity (the core focus of the main Exploring Climate Cooling\, ECC\, programme). OUT OF SCOPE: ideas that squarely fit within the ECC programme\; emissions reduction projects and improvements to the e nergy efficiency of buildings or vehicles\; and commercial products or res earch likely to be funded by traditional venture capital or grants. CONSTR AINTS: any proposal for outdoor experiments must demonstrate conformity to ARIA's governance framework for outdoor experiments\, and all successful applicants must sign ARIA's Intellectual Property Pledge to ensure finding s are accessible for the public good. Application deadline: 31 July 2026\, 14:00 BST.\n\nOrganisation: ARIA (Advanced Research and Invention Agency) \nLocation: UK-based funder (ARIA)\; proposals welcome across scientific\, engineering and social science research.\nAward: Opportunity seeds of up to GBP 500\,000 for early-stage research. No application fee.\nDuration: E arly-stage research projects (project length set by the proposal)\n\nMore: https://aria.org.uk/opportunity-spaces/future-proofing-our-climate-and-we ather/opportunity-seeds?utm_source=artificialnouveaugrantdesk&utm_medium=r eferral URL:https://aria.org.uk/opportunity-spaces/future-proofing-our-climate-and- weather/opportunity-seeds?utm_source=artificialnouveaugrantdesk&utm_medium =referral LOCATION:UK-based funder (ARIA)\; proposals welcome across scientific\, eng ineering and social science research.
