Detail information about job Research Fellow in LCA of Approaches to Greenhouse Gas Removal from the Atmosphere. Terms and conditions vacancy

School of Water, Energy and Environment (SWEE)

Fixed Term for 2 years, commencing February 2018

Location: Cranfield, Bedfordshire, MK43 0AL

Cranfield University is an exclusively postgraduate university that is a global leader for education and transformational research in technology and management.

This position is working on NERC’s new and exciting greenhouse gas removal (GGR) programme investigating greenhouse gas removal from the atmosphere. The specific aim of the research is to harmonise consequential LCA approaches for GGR technologies and develop consequential LCA to include social and political drivers in addition to classic economic drivers.

You will be within the UP-Green-LCA project, where you will work closely with colleagues to develop and harmonise LCA methodologies to assess approaches to greenhouse gas removal.

You will be highly numerate with a PhD (or close to completion) in LCA, engineering, economics, environmental science, physics, applied science, applied mathematics and/or related subject. You will need proven expertise in life cycle assessment through publication or report preparation and expertise in economic models, techniques and methods, and ability in economic model development and in R statistical language.

An accepted or submitted publication on a relevant subject is necessary for this position together with some knowledge of market equilibrium models, LCA software, the ability to work across disciplines, and with Microsoft Excel and R statistical software.

If you have very good communication skills and the ambition to build your own reputation through research, a strong publication record, and you are well-organised then we would like to hear from you.

For an informal discussion, please contact Pietro Goglio, Lecturer in Life Cycle Assessment and Systems Modelling, on +44 (0)1234 754293 or E: [email protected].

The University has received an Athena SWAN Charter and achieved a Bronze Opportunity Now Award.  We also run the Leadership Foundation’s Aurora Programme. Your career at Cranfield will be enhanced through access to extensive research and business training through our learning and development team and doctoral training centres in a collegiate and supportive environment.
