Jobbnorge ID: 121948

The Department of Energy and Process Engineering invites applicants for a permanent position as Lead Researcher for the Industrial Ecology Digital Lab. The Industrial Ecology (IndEcol) Programme at the department has a focus on understanding resource use and environmental pollution associated with human activities, assessing the environmental aspects of different technologies and modeling society's use of materials. The department seeks to strengthen its industrial ecology research program, in particular in the Digital Lab, by making use of open, flexible and state of the art digital infrastructures.

 

IndEcol is an interdisciplinary research and teaching program managing its own International MSc program and PhD program, consisting of 5 faculty members and 30 reserarchers, post.docs and PhDs. IndEcol has a high reputation within the field as evidenced by numerous publications and international prizes. The Programme combines world-class competence in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Input-Output analysis (I/O), and Material Flow Analysis (MFA).

 

The successful candidate will support the Indecol group by supervising the Industrial Ecology Digital Lab activities in the development of a common digital architecture for the Programme, geared towards both the near-term and long-term research requirements. He or she will have responsibility to coordinate development of the digital infrastructure across research projects and sub-groups within the Programme. Identification of efficient and innovative solutions yielding synergies across different projects will be important for the group's short-term research objectives while at the same time developing the implementations of novel approaches to meet the group's long-term research objectives. The position will be reporting to the program director and work closely with the faculty in the group on developing the digital lab.

In practical terms the candidate can expect to be responsible for developing and overseeing the implementation of a generic ontology of digital resources (data, classifications, software) relevant for industrial ecology research. Research outcomes are expected in line with these duties.

 

The position will require day-to-day interactions with scientists in the sub-domains of industrial ecology, providing solutions for both highly scalable applications, and also for ensuring longevity of existing research. The successful candidate will also be expected to help develop and implement new methodologies within the field of Industrial Ecology. He or she will also initiate, develop, implement, and manage scientific applications, projects and initiatives to ensure access to and sharing of Industrial Ecology tools and data with the world. Finally, the candidate will be responsible for setting up best practice guidelines for software and database development and operations within the Programme and for communicating these guidelines to new researchers and PhDs.

 

The position requires competence in multiple programming languages, as well as a high level of technical computational expertise. Ability and evidence of use of open-source systems is beneficial. He or she must be able to work in a mixed computing environment that includes different operating systems. The candidate must be willing to learn new programming languages and to keep up to date with new advances in digital research. The successful candidate must have a PhD and or a post.doc in industrial ecology, multiregional input-output analysis, LCA or MFA. A documented relevant research record is required. The language of work will be English. Good communication skills, ability to in
