You will have the unique opportunity to be co-mentored by Drs. Benjamin Goldstein and Kai Zhu. The role is designed for an interdisciplinary researcher motivated to develop dynamic LCA models in concert with forest ecologists and to meld these with relevant methods and data from forest ecology.

  • Contribute to the broader goals of LASER by participating in meetings, organizing workshops, etc.

Required Qualifications*

  • A recent PhD in industrial ecology or related field

  • Demonstrated expertise in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), especially in land-based systems involving biogenic carbon, such as agriculture, forestry, or bioenergy.

  • Experience with LCA software (such as SimaPro or OpenLCA) and LCA datasets (such as ecoinvent)

  • Demonstrated ability to work independently as well as part of a collaborative team

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
