Research Fellow

The Emerging nanoscience Research Institute (EnRI) focuses its research on advanced materials, computational modelling & simulation and development of small-scale testing and materials characterization.

We are looking for a Research Fellow who will be responsible for supporting both research activities and coordination efforts related to life cycle assessment (LCA) within a multidisciplinary sustainability program.

The successful candidate will support research and coordination efforts within a multidisciplinary sustainability program, focusing on life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate the environmental performance of established and emerging processes.

This role includes designing and conducting cradle-to-gate and cradle-to-grave LCAs, building life cycle inventory (LCI) datasets, and integrating LCA insights into technology development and decision-making.

Key responsibilities:

• Include impact modeling, scenario analysis, data compilation, and technical documentation.
  
  
• Work closely with researchers, industry partners, and regulatory stakeholders to ensure robust sustainability metrics are embedded in process design.
  
  

Job Requirements:

• PhD in Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Sustainability Science, or related field.
  
  
• Experience in conducting LCAs using ISO 14040/44 standards and LCA software (e.g., SimaPro, OpenLCA, GaBi).
  
  
• Strong knowledge of LCI databases (e.g., Ecoinvent, ELCD) and impact assessment methodologies (e.g., ReCiPe, TRACI).
  
  
• Demonstrated ability to compile, validate, and analyze complex environmental data from diverse sources.
  
  
• Excellent scientific writing skills with a track record of peer-reviewed publications.
  
  
• Effective communication and collaboration skills for multidisciplinary teamwork.
  
  
• High attention to detail, organizational skills, and professional integrity.
