- Consistently define diet-related boundaries with regional environmental boundaries, including land, water and pesticide use, eutrophication, and climate change.
- Determine environmental and health impacts of diets in two widely different countries.
- Use optimization techniques or other science-based approaches to define future scenarios that meet absolute targets for environmental sustainability, while maximizing benefits for environment and human health.
- Be involved in collaboration with international partners.
- Write scientific publications and present at conferences both at national and international level.
- Be involved in teaching.
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
