About the PhD Project
The PhD project aims to bridge the gaps between negative sustainability impacts and the need for data-driven insights into the environmental and health consequences of food production and consumption. You will contribute to defining nutritional and environmental boundaries for absolute sustainability assessment of diets and food systems, using modeling and multiple data sources to create pathways toward absolute sustainability, factoring in potential future changes in food production and consumption.

Your Key Responsibilities
Your key responsibilities will include:
1. Defining diet-related boundaries with regional environmental boundaries, including land, water, and pesticide use, eutrophication, and climate change
2. Determining environmental and health impacts of diets in two widely different countries
3. Using 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
4. Collaborating with international partners
5. Writing scientific publications and presenting at conferences both at national and international level
6. Being involved in teaching and contributing to the team with knowledge in environmental assessment and data science competences
