Postdoctoral research position in Quantifying Environmental Impacts of Future AEC Resource Scenarios
2 maanden geleden
Key responsibilities
Specifically, the postdoctoral researcher will work in an interdisciplinary consortium to cocreate future resource scenarios of the European AEC sector towards waste-based and fast-growing biobased materials and apply IE modelling methods to quantitatively evaluate potential environmental impacts of the envisaged future resource scenarios. With these efforts, we aim to deliver critical information needed for meaningful AEC decarbonisation strategies.
The project is part of European Innovation Council (EIC) founded research program targeting, that links many collaborators of a portfolio of projects across numerous European academic institutions, private enterprises, and NGOs, ultimately offering a unique, large, and dynamic research network. Within the network, the candidate will be expected to liaise with others and potentially travel to various countries across Europe.
The postdoctoral researcher will work in the research group of Dr. Hu, targeting on Quantitative Sustainability Assessment of the Built Environment. It comprised of 3-4 PhD students and numerous master students. You will work alongside PhD candidates of similar topics and be expected to offer some degree of mentorship. Besides, Prof. Tukker, Dr. Cucurachi and Dr. Thonemann, also involved in the Pathfinder project could advise circular economy and ex-ante prospective LCA modelling. Furthermore, funding for this position also offers the postdoctoral researcher the ability to attend multiple national and international conferences.
Dr. Hu is dedicated to an inclusive and open research environment to promote passion, independence, and transferable skills for whatever future career goals the candidate may have. In our research group, we strongly value a collaborative approach. Researchers will enter an environment of informal weekly exchange to promote progress and cohesion within the larger research group, while, if wish, can also engage with broader groups through weekly IE meetings, biweekly Urban updates (led by Dr. Remme and Dr. Hu), and regular meetings of Resource and LCA groups etc.

Leiden University is situated between Amsterdam (36km) and Den Haag (15 km) and was founded in 1575, making it the oldest university in the Netherlands. It houses around 35,000 students originating from 112 nationalities, facilitated by approximately 8,000 staff. The Faculty of Science is a world-class faculty where staff and students work together in a dynamic international environment. It is a faculty where personal and academic development are top priorities. Our people are driven by curiosity to expand fundamental knowledge and to look beyond the borders of their own discipline; their aim is to benefit science, and to make a contribution to addressing the major societal challenges of the future.
The research carried out at the Faculty is very diverse, ranging from mathematics, information science, astronomy, physics, chemistry and bio-pharmaceutical sciences to biology and environmental sciences. The research activities are organised in eight institutes. These institutes offer eight bachelor’s and twelve master’s programmes. The faculty has grown strongly in recent years and now has more than 2,300 staff and almost 5,000 students. We are located at the heart of Leiden’s Bio Science Park, one of Europe’s biggest science parks, where university and business life come together.
The environmental science research in CML is organised around two major research areas: ‘Industrial Ecology’ and ‘Environmental Biology’. This makes CML one of the few institutes covering both the circular, sustainable economic use of natural resources and natural capital, as well as assessing the environmental impacts of economic activities on natural resources, biodiversity and natural capital. Presently, over 140 FTE (including postdocs and PhDs) are employed at CML. CML collaborates with the TU Delft and Erasmus University (Rotterdam) in the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Sustainability (LDE-CfS).
