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

Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation, and scientific advice. We are seeking a talented PhD student to join our research team and contribute to the development of innovative methods for the environmental sustainability assessment of biobased chemicals.

The PhD project will focus on improving life cycle inventory analysis and life cycle impact assessment methods for lignin-derived phenolic compounds (LDPs). You will have the opportunity to work with experimental data, develop predictive models, and allocate environmental boundaries to LDPs.

As a member of our research team, you will be 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.

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. You will also have access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources.

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

We are looking for a talented candidate with 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.
