Summary
Fixed term contract until 29th February 2028
You will join WMG as part of the EPSRC-funded Sustainable Engineering Plastics Hub, a national research centre focused on transforming the sustainability of plastics through innovative materials, manufacturing, recycling, and circular systems.
In this role, you will lead and support sustainability assessments, primarily Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and, where appropriate, Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA), across several of the Hub’s core research projects. Working closely with academic, industry, and government partners, you will generate evidence-based insights to inform sustainable design, material choices, and policy recommendations.
About You
You will have proven research experience and well-developed communication and collaboration skills to provide the interface between the partners and the project management team. You will assist the project team and external collaborators in the successful execution of the project.
You will have a good honours degree (2.1 or higher) and a Ph.D. in a related discipline, and experience of conducting LCA is essential for this post.
