Scientific roles & contracts
Bring a scientific specialist
into your team.
Enquiries about employment, fixed-term research, defined paid scientific contracts and specialist project support are welcome. The role, location, time commitment and requirements can be discussed directly with Peter.
Different arrangements
Agree the contribution.
Choose the right structure.
These are routes for a conversation, not a statement of immediate availability or country-specific work permission.
Fixed-term research
A time-bounded appointment tied to a research question, programme or defined scientific responsibility.
Paid scientific contracts
A defined technical assignment or work package with agreed outputs, time commitment and commercial terms.
Specialist team support
A scoped contribution within a consultancy or research team, with responsibilities and information boundaries agreed.
Start with the evidenced specialism.
The strongest documented areas are hydrogeochemical modelling, reactive transport, enhanced weathering, mineral–soil processes, contaminant mobility and scientific interpretation.
For a wider remit, compare the actual requirements with Peter’s experience. A scientific background should not be treated as proof of engineering sign-off, professional registration or every specialist software skill.
