PhD Researcher in Cities Climate Change Strategies and Natural Resources
2 weeks ago
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at the International Society for Industrial Ecology. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on a fully funded PhD project focused on cities climate change strategies and natural resources.
The project aims to evaluate the impact of cities' climate change strategies on infrastructures and natural resources. The student will collaborate with cities like Newcastle, Manchester, and North Tyneside to determine whether local climate plans represent an effective means to mitigate GHG emissions and adapt cities to climate change without compromising natural resources or geopolitical relationships.
The study will consider the different sectors and scopes that are under the control of Local Authorities (direct influence) as well as Scope 3 emissions. The student will acquire innovative natural and social science tools, such as GHG accounting methodologies, geospatial tools, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and Material Flow Accounting (MFA), as well as network-based interview and analysis methods.
The study will advance quantitative and qualitative measures and research methodologies of the perceived risk and value of climate change adaptation and mitigation infrastructures and natural resource provisions.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on a project that will contribute to the development of effective local climate plans and ensure there are no unintended consequences, i.e. trade-offs between infrastructures and resources.
The project will employ methods like strategy analysis, emission and resource accounting, infrastructure mapping and LCA, calculating mitigation, e.g. GHG accounting linked to the Tyndall Carbon Calculator (Manchester University), and adaptation, e.g. flood defence efforts, and develop/apply a risk matrix.
We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in environmental science, sustainability, or a related field. The ideal candidate will have excellent research skills, a strong understanding of climate change and sustainability, and excellent communication and teamwork skills.
The PhD project will be supervised by experienced researchers in the field of industrial ecology and sustainability. The student will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment and contribute to the development of innovative solutions for sustainable development.
