The successful candidate will contribute to the development of new life cycle impact assessment methods for natural resources and apply them in the environmental sustainability assessment of technologies.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD degree in environmental engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, or a similar field, with expertise in life cycle impact assessment, material flow analysis, or related areas particularly with a focus on natural resources. Strong communication skills in English and motivation for research are essential for success in this role.

Key Deliverables:

  • Developing new frameworks and computing indicators for assessing the impacts of natural resource use in environmental sustainability assessments of products and technologies
  • Assessing environmental sustainability performance of pyrolysis of plastics
  • Participating in and contributing to leading related tasks and work packages in an international research project
  • Participating in teaching activities including the supervision of MSc student projects and the co-supervision of PhD student projects
