Post-Doctoral Research Opportunity
The Sustainable and Resilient Economy (SRE) program
<https://discovery.osu.edu/focus-areas/sustainable-economy/> at The Ohio
State University <http://www.osu.edu> has an opening for a post-doctoral
research position with interdisciplinary work in Sustainable
Engineering. The ideal candidate will hold a Ph.D. degree in an area
related to Sustainability Science or Sustainable Engineering and a
demonstrated ability to perform interdisciplinary research at the
interface of engineering, environmental sciences, economics, social
sciences and policy. Research skills should include areas such as
engineering design and optimization, life cycle assessment, applied
statistics, and modeling of economic and ecological systems. The ability
and willingness to learn new subject matter and work in a collaborative,
interdisciplinary team environment are essential. The initial
appointment will be for one year with the possibility of renewal.
This position is supported by the Sustainable and Resilient Economy
program, part of the Ohio State University’s Discovery Themes initiative
(www.discovery.osu.edu/sre <http://www.discovery.osu.edu/sre>). The
candidate’s work will be directed by Professor Bhavik Bakshi
<http://cbe.osu.edu/people/bakshi.2> and additional members of a
multidisciplinary research team that takes a holistic approach to
understanding how production and consumption systems are linked to
ecological systems and how society can achieve greater value in more
sustainable and resilient development. The SRE program aims to develop
and apply integrated assessment methods to guide practical solutions
from local to global scales that enhance the efficiency of material and
energy inputs, reduce adverse environmental and social impacts and
protect critical ecosystem services.
Interested candidates should forward their letter of application, CV and
names of three references to Melissa Amos ([log in to unmask]), SRE
Program Coordinator.
