Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom International Society for Industrial Ecology Full time

We are seeking a talented PhD researcher to join our team at the International Society for Industrial Ecology. The successful candidate will contribute to groundbreaking research on climate resilience and resource management in urban environments.

Job Description:

This PhD project focuses on evaluating the impact of cities' climate change strategies on infrastructures and natural resources. The researcher will develop novel assessment methodologies to determine whether local climate plans effectively mitigate GHG emissions and adapt cities to climate change without compromising natural resources or geopolitical relationships.

The PhD researcher will collaborate with cities like Newcastle, Manchester, and North Tyneside to advance our understanding of the interactions between climate change, infrastructure, and natural resources. The study will consider the different sectors and scopes that are under the control of Local Authorities as well as Scope 3 emissions.

The researcher will acquire advanced skills in natural and social science tools, such as GHG accounting methodologies, geospatial tools, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and Material Flow Accounting (MFA). The study will enhance our knowledge of the perceived risk and value of climate change adaptation and mitigation infrastructures and natural resource provisions.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop and apply innovative assessment methodologies
  • Analyze data from cities like Newcastle, Manchester, and North Tyneside
  • Collaborate with international experts in climate change research
What We Offer:
  • Fully funded PhD opportunity
  • Chance to work with leading researchers in the field
  • Access to cutting-edge research facilities

The estimated salary for this position is £26,000-£31,000 per annum, depending on experience and qualifications. We provide a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plan, and paid time off.
