Do you want to make a difference in combatting climate change? Then join the Radboud Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences as a postdoc. You will research on greenhouse gas emissions from land use and how these emissions can be systematically attributed to countries. You will conduct your research in a friendly environment with a diverse team that helps you unleash your potential.
As a postdoctoral researcher you will carry out research on land use emissions, how they can be systematically attributed at country level, and how emission reduction strategies at producer and consumer level affect the attributed emissions (funded by the Dutch Research Council). In addition, you will also contribute to the analysis of direct and indirect effects of sustainability certification of biobased products (funded by Horizon Europe within the framework of the Harmonitor project). Both projects will apply multi-regional input-output modelling. You will help supervise a PhD candidate in both projects. Up to 10% of your workload may consist of teaching activities (in English), to be further outlined in consultation with you and your supervisor.
Fixed-term contract: 3 or 3.5 years.
The Radboud Institute for Biological and Environmental Sciences (RIBES) aims to perform world leading research in order to understand the response of the natural environment to human impact. RIBES investigates stress and adaptation processes in severely affected ecosystems. This curiosity-driven, fundamental research is cross-linked with innovative applications in both industry and society with a focus on mitigating ecosystem degradation and finding solutions to restore the natural environment. RIBES is internationally unique, as its research encompasses three major groups of organisms (microorganisms, plants and animals) and spans nearly all levels of biological organisation. In addition to developing world-class research, the institute is dedicated to first-rate education in its Biology BSc, MSc and international PhD programmes.
The mission of the Environmental Science cluster of RIBES is to provide high-quality scientific knowledge that can help the world move towards greater sustainability. To achieve this, we aim to understand, project and address the impact of anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems and humans from the landscape to the global scale. This enables us to explore and develop wide-ranging sustainable solutions for the environmental challenges the world faces today.
