Researcher on Environmental Assessment of Postgrowth Housing Scenarios
**Faculteit/Dienst**:Faculteit der Maatschappij
- & Gedragswetenschappen**Opleidingsniveau**:Universiteit**Functie type**:Wetenschappelijk Personeel**Sluitingsdatum**:17 August 2024**Vacaturenummer**:13167- We are looking for a researcher carrying out part of a project on the socio-ecological impact of postgrowth housing scenarios. The overall project is intended to study the relation between income, housing tenure and ecological footprint, as well as to build possible scenarios of a socially just and ecologically sustainable housing system. The aim is to demonstrate differences in environmental impact that different existing and future housing models have. We will start with The Netherlands and them work at EU-level.- The project includes two different sub-studies:
- **_A postgrowth assessment of dominant housing systems_**: this study will deploy LCA-based urban metabolism models to assess the long-term performance of the existing housing stock. It will focus on the income-to-environmental impact of existing housing to show the relation between income, housing type and carbon, material and land use footprint.
- **_Scenarios for postgrowth housing systems_**: this study will assess the projected environmental impact of prototypes of postgrowth housing. The team will develop models that combine different measures and elaborate on possible scenarios. These prototypes are defined from the literature and from a preliminary analysis of existing real-life examples. They include eco-communities, urban housing cooperatives and large-scale social housing.
- The researcher will work with an interdisciplinary team formed by Dr. Federico Savini (spatial planning, Principal Investigator) and Dr. Cody Hochstenbach (human geography, housing studies) at the University of Amsterdam, Mira Kopp (urban industrial ecology, Mercator Research Institute, TU Berlin) and Dr. Stefano Merciai (industrial ecology, University of Leiden, Aarus University).- This team is embedded in the broader research program of the ERC-funded research project ‘DECYCLE’.**What are you going to do**
- The research assistant will help the team in developing models for the environmental impact assessment of housing in the two studies. The tasks include:
- Research tasks:
- building a model to study the environmental footprint of large-scale housing systems. Variables include income, housing tenure, housing type, energy use, energy sources, construction materials, urbanicity, transport use;
- gathering data from existing GIS, energy and material databases such as Basisregistratie Adressen en Gebouwen (BAG), 3DBAG, EUBUCCO, DEGO VNG Energietransitie Gebouwde Omgeving, TABULA, ecoinvent.
**What do you have to offer**- data analysis using python and pandas;
- interest in the built environment.
- Required skills:
- Completed or ongoing master’s in industrial ecology, data science, quantitative geography, or related fields.
- Desirable skills:
- geospatial analysis and calculating metrics with geographic information systems.
- familiarity with degrowth or postgrowth debates in economics or environmental studies.
**What can we offer you**
- The position concerns a temporary employment of 1 day a week, 7.6 hours per day for a maximum term of one year. For this position the University Job Classification profile research assistant applies.- Your salary will be €2.846 to € 2.920 gross per month, based on full-time employment and in keeping with the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities. We additionally offer an extensive package of secondary benefits, including 8% holiday allowance and a year-end bonus of 8.3%.- The UvA offers excellent possibilities for further professional development and education.**_What else do we offer_**
- Working as assistant in the DECYCLE project, you will have the chance to learn how to set up complex and international research. As research assistant you will be invited to join the dissemination activities of the project.
