The candidate will contribute to European policy analysis in
the context of life cycle impact assessment, developing
further the integrated environmental assessment methods
with a focus on soil quality and land use.
The impacts on ecosystems from land use and management
will be quantified. This includes, for example, the application
of compost to agricultural land, quantification of the relative
environmental costs/benefits of using compost as a soil
improver, as well as cross-comparison with impacts from
other stressors on ecosystems.
The research will be conducted closely with the SoilTrEC FP7
project and with the European Platform on Life Cycle
Assessment, in particular the International Reference Life
Cycle Data System (ILCD). This will include conducting case
studies.
The ideal candidate has a PhD in environmental science or a
similar subject, or alternatively a university degree and 5
years research experience after the university degree giving
access to doctoral studies. Experience in life cycle impact
assessment and impacts on ecosystems associated with land
use and soil quality is required.
Good knowledge of spoken and written English is essential,
as this is the main working language.
Relevant publications and presentations should be
highlighted.
The Joint Research Centre is an equal opportunity employer
and is committed to increasing the diversity of its staff. It
welcomes and applications from women and minority groups.
