Moreover, in the framework of Sustainable Finance, particular focus will be given to the assessment of double materiality metrics related to biodiversity and ecosystem quality to support financial institutions and industries in reporting requirements.

In the medium to long term, we expect to strengthen the activities and eventually develop a new research line on biodiversity evaluation for Sustainability Assessment.


You will be integrated in a team of experienced researchers in sustainability assessment, characterized by a broad range of expertise and diverse cultural backgrounds, and united by the common purpose of sustaining the sustainability transition.

  • Publish highquality research articles in peerreviewed international journals.
  • Generate and protect IP in the context of your research activities (e.g., patents, licenses).
  • Attend international conferences.


You hold a PhD in Ecosystem Services, Natural Capital Accounting or Industrial Ecology as well as a master's degree in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Economics or Environmental Science.


You also have:
