You will work closely with project partners from around Europe, participate in relevant conferences and workshops, and contribute to project deliverables. You will have the opportunity to further develop and improve your skills set by attending courses offered by the Graduate School of the Radboud Institute for Biological and Environmental Science (RIBES) and other institutes. You will communicate your findings through publications in peer-reviewed journals. Part of your workload (10%) will consist of teaching activities at our institute, assisting staff members in their courses at the BSc and MSc levels (in English) and supervising thesis research.
Profile
You should hold an MSc in one of the environmental, natural or engineering sciences, in which you have acquired knowledge and skills in the fields of life cycle assessment and/or chemical risk assessment.
You have analytical modelling skills, motivation and good communication skills.
You especially have a good command of oral and written English. Experience with environmental modelling and data analysis is a plus.
