  • To work effectively in interdisciplinary environments and collaborate with industrial and academic partners.

Requirements:

  • A PhD in Engineering or a related field;
  • Motivation to contribute to the impact of the BuildZero research output on climate change mitigation and material circularity;
  • Modelling and analytical skills, experience working with tools of Industrial Ecology, and ability to work in interdisciplinary environments.

Salary and Benefits:

  • A competitive salary of £35,000 - £40,000 per annum depending on experience;
  • The opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research on sustainable building modelling;
  • A dynamic and collaborative work environment;
