Position available in the IMAGE-team: PhD position on CDR as part of UPTAKE project at Utrecht University, Netherlands
The Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University is looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious colleague to further strengthen its group with a specific focus on integrated assessment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
In the UPTAKE project, financed by the Horizon Europe research programme of the European Union, Utrecht University will collaborate with other European research institutes in assessing different CDR options in terms of potential, costs, consequences for other sustainable development challenges, legal and institutional issues and societal support. The contribution of Utrecht University concentrates mostly on the further development and use of the IMAGE model to assess the potential and use of different CDR options, and their possible consequences. The PhD candidate is expected to contribute to this research as part of the IMAGE research team (based at PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and Utrecht University).
The candidate is expected to have an affinity with quantitative analysis of global environmental problems. This means that the candidate would have a background in either natural sciences or economics.
