**Job description**:
Are you fascinated by the question of how we can transition to a circular and sustainable society without creating further damage and injustice? And are you interested in quantifying a range of environmental effects? This PhD project develops improved methods to include future developments and justice aspects into environmental impact assessment methods and applies them to real-world challenges. The research takes place in a multidisciplinary research group, involving social and natural scientists as well as humanities scholars, with a focus to work on sustainability transitions.
You will do research on prospective impact assessment for just transitions, centered around the question:
- How can we estimate prospective impacts of environmental damage on human health and justice?_ As a first example we will quantify impacts caused by air pollution related to circular innovations and transition pathways.
