Technologies for Sustainable Built Environments
University of Reading

This is one of two projects focusing on different yet complementary elements associated with achieving a low carbon motorsport facility as part of Silverstone’s sustainability planning. Working as part of the Silverstone team you will need to embed yourself in the organisation and operations, their event partners and community leaders to drive innovation through research. The work will contribute to Silverstone’s sustainability plans and outputs.We are seeking self-motivated, ambitious applicants with an interest in low carbon technologies and sustainability. An interest in motorsport is desirable although not essential. Applicants should have a background in organisational behaviour; project or business management; management in the built environment; or process management. Applicants must possess a good degree (2:1 or higher) or an MSc in a related area. You will need to be an excellent communicator with a drive to deliver quality doctoral level research for an organisation with a global reputation.
