Postdoc in Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of Waste and Resource Systems

 


Wishing to join forces with one of the internationally leading research groups within life cycle assessment modeling of waste management systems and technologies? Here is an opportunity to be part of our group and contribute with state-of-the-art assessment modeling, e.g. involving environmental life cycle assessment, life cycle costing, material flow analysis, and circularity analysis, with focus on resource circularity and circular economy. We work on a wide range of waste types and fractions, e.g. food waste, plastic, metals, textiles, and mixed residual waste, from the perspective of individual technologies to full systems.

Our studies are centered around the leading life cycle assessment model EASETECH (www.easetech.dk) and material flow analysis principles. We provide in-depth and well-documented studies that continuously pushes the boundaries for life cycle assessment of waste. We seek 1 or 2 Postdocs for our groups. We want you to be our new colleague.  

Responsibilities and qualifications
You are a responsible, organized and structured person with state-of-the-art and documented experience within consequential life cycle assessment modeling of waste systems, waste technologies, and circular economy solutions such as recovery, recycling and utilization.
