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

Welcome to Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU), where we are dedicated to developing innovative solutions for a sustainable future. As a PhD student, you will have the opportunity to work on a project that focuses on improving life cycle inventory analysis and life cycle impact assessment methods for lignin-derived phenolic compounds.

The position is offered at the Section for Quantitative Sustainability Assessment, where you will become part of an ambitious and team-based research environment with around 40 international staff members, postdocs, and PhD students. The section spearheads the development of sustainability assessment methods, and your contributions will be instrumental in advancing this field.

The PhD project is a part of an EU Horizon project, RADAR (Renewable and safe aromatic compounds as replacements for substances of concern). You will have the chance to collaborate with international front-runners in environmental sustainability assessment and contribute to the development of new methods and tools.

Responsibilities:

  • Integrate experimental data and calculate comparative toxicity potentials of LDPs for use in life cycle impact assessment
  • Develop predictive models to estimate life cycle inventories of LDPs based on low TRL level data
  • Allocate environmental boundaries to LDPs and carry out absolute environmental sustainability assessment

To succeed in this role, 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. You should also have experience with environmental modelling and data analysis.

We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. As a PhD student, you will have the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge while contributing to cutting-edge research.
