PhD Researcher in Biobased Chemical Sustainability
1 day ago
The Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) invites applications for a PhD position in the field of biobased chemical sustainability. The successful candidate will join a team of international researchers focused on developing innovative methods for environmental sustainability assessment.
About the ProjectThe PhD project is part of an EU Horizon project, RADAR (Renewable and safe aromatic compounds as replacements for substances of concern). The researcher will work on improving life cycle inventory analysis and life cycle impact assessment methods for lignin-derived phenolic compounds (LDPs).
The main tasks involve:
- Integrating experimental data and calculating comparative toxicity potentials of LDPs for use in life cycle impact assessment
- Developing predictive models to estimate life cycle inventories of LDPs based on low TRL level data
- Allocating environmental boundaries to LDPs and carrying out absolute environmental sustainability assessment
The researcher will be expected to participate in the department's teaching activities and contribute to the development of sustainability assessment methods.
About the TeamThe research group is located at the Section for Quantitative Sustainability Assessment, which spearheads the development of sustainability assessment methods. The team consists of around 40 international staff members, postdocs, and PhD students working together to achieve ambitious research goals.
RequirementsTo be eligible for this position, you must have a two-year master's degree or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree. You should also have experience with environmental modelling, such as life cycle impact assessment, environmental risk assessment, material flow analysis, etc.
