About the job

The Postdoctoral Fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an important tool for sustainable decision-making. In recent decades, there has been progress in terms of the number, complexity and accuracy of impact categories covered; especially for those related to ecosystem quality.? However, there are still some gaps, especially on a midpoint level. The Postdoctoral position aims to develop midpoint models to quantify impacts within life cycle assessment (LCA) from food production, as well as improving land use models with remote sensing data and testing the developed models in case studies.?
