Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time

At Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU), we are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our team at the Risk-benefit Research Group at the National Food Institute. As a member of our research group, you will contribute to defining nutritional and environmental boundaries for absolute sustainability assessment of diets and food systems.

The successful candidate will be responsible for carrying out independent research, scientific publication and dissemination, and teaching. You will support the team with knowledge in environmental assessment and data science competences. Additionally, as a PhD student at DTU it is mandatory to take courses of a duration of 30 ETCS during the 3-year period.

Our research project aims to bridge the gaps between sustainability impacts and food systems' transformations by leveraging modeling and multiple data sources to create pathways toward absolute sustainability, factoring in potential future changes in food production and consumption.

You will evaluate the sustainability of diets in two different settings (countries) and design trajectories towards absolute sustainability of food systems. This includes consistently defining diet-related boundaries with regional environmental boundaries, including land, water and pesticide use, eutrophication, and climate change.

We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. The period of employment is 3 years, with a starting date of December 1st, 2024 (or according to mutual agreement). The position is full-time.

The estimated salary for this position is approximately $65,000-$75,000 per year, depending on qualifications and experience.

Benefits include a dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment, opportunities for collaboration with international partners, and a comprehensive training program. You will also have access to state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment.
