丹麦技术大学2022年招聘博士后职位（微塑料和纳米塑料对土壤影响的评估）

Technical University of Denmark

Do you want to build a career in developing science-based solutions for addressing society’s grand environmental sustainability challenges? Do you want to work with international front-runners in agronomy, soil sciences, environmental chemistry, and sustainability assessment from academia, industry and public institutions? Do you want to innovate in the field of assessing global plastics pollution? Then, this postdoctoral project is the right fit for you!

You will develop methods and guidance for linking impacts from micro- and nanoplastics on soil quality to damage on ecosystem services for implementation into the life cycle assessment (LCA) framework, and provide recommendations for a sustainable use of plastics in Europe.

In DTU Sustain’s section for Quantitative Sustainability Assessment (QSA), you will join world leaders in life cycle assessment, absolute environmental sustainability assessment and impact characterization. QSA offers an excellent research environment with around 30 international staff, postdocs, and PhD students.

Your project is expected to spearhead the farm-to-regional level evaluation of micro- and nanoplastics impacts on soil health, as part of the Horizon 2020 MINAGRIS project aiming at a sustainable agricultural transition with focus on evaluating and minimizing plastics impacts on soil ecosystem services and overall sustainability. It is foreseen that you will participate in MINAGRIS project activities and network, and collaborate with scientist from MINAGRIS partner institutions from academia, the private and the public sector.

Responsibilities and qualifications

Your overall focus will be to strengthen the department’s competences within plastics damage assessment and ecosystem services modeling, geospatial modeling, and farm-to-country level data analysis. Methods developed in your postdoctoral project will help evaluating micro- and nanoplastics applied in European agriculture, through the modeling of impact-to-damage pathways for human and environmental health.

Your primary tasks will be:

•Develop a framework for linking indicators for relating micro- and nanoplastics pollution with effects on soil chemistry, physics and biodiversity to damage on soil ecosystem services

•Develop a decision support tool (DST) for farmers and farm associated stakeholders to evaluate farm-level micro- and nanoplastics impacts on productivity, ecosystem services and sustainability performance

•Provide impact results for various agricultural plastic use practices form farm-to-country level

•Participate in teaching activities including supervision of MSc student projects, and co-supervision of PhD student projects

You will become part of an energetic and dynamic research environment.

You should have a PhD degree in environmental engineering, mathematical physics, ecological or biological sciences, or a similar degree. You should have expertise in the fields of soil sciences and/or ecosystem services assessment. Expertise in life cycle assessment (LCA) and plastics pollution assessment is welcome.

Special expertise in analysing impacts and damages of chemicals or plastics in the environment, advanced skills in ArcGIS and Matlab or R are a clear advantage. A strong motivation for analytical research and excellent communication skills in English are essential for a successful application.

As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).
