Are you passionate about research? So are we Come and join us

The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT.

By transforming scientific knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.

Discover our Environmental Research and Innovation department: ERIN Department

How will you contribute?

Context


The Environmental Research and Innovation (ERIN) department, made up of 200 life science, environmental science and information technology researchers and engineers, provides the interdisciplinary knowledge, expertise and technologies to lead solutions including the major environmental challenges facing society, such as climate change mitigation, ecosystem resilience, sustainable energy systems, efficient use of renewable resources, and environmental pollution prevention and control.

You will join the Environmental Sustainability Assessment and Circularity (SUSTAIN) Unit of ERIN.

SUSTAIN develops knowledge, transferable (software) technologies, practical methods and outreach activities for the simulation and comprehensive sustainability assessment of societal systems.

Its final purpose is to foster sustainable eco-innovation, through products and technologies, as well as support sustainability-oriented policy implementation and behavioural change to promote decarbonisation transitions.

Within the SUSTAIN Unit, you will be incorporated in the Life Cycle Sustainability Analysis (LCSA) research group. The group consists of ca.

30 researchers with a broad range of expertise and diverse cultural backgrounds, and united by the common purpose of supporting the sustainability transition.

The group develops sustainability metrics and indicators, to assess the environmental and social impacts of products, technologies, territories and policies, for both industrial organisations and policy makers.


Description
With increasing urbanisation, cities and buildings will need to drastically improve their environmental performance.

Policy-makers, building stakeholders, citizens, etc., need to advance mitigation and adaptation interventions and adopt tailored de-carbonisation strategies consistent with political, climatic, and socio-demographic contexts.

Long-term solutions for more climate-neutral cities are emerging, however many knowledge gaps on urban climate actions are still to be addressed.

For example, there is still little understanding of the effect of mitigation actions at the urban level (e.g., green infrastructure, water features, etc.) and the impact of actions by homeowners (e.g., green roofs, insulation, cooling systems, etc.) on the urban climate at street or district level.


You will carry out this PhD in the framework of the project CHIASMUS ("Climate-based Hybrid and locally Informed Adaptive Strategies from Modelling of Urban building Stock"), where he/she will conduct a prospective life cycle assessment (pLCA) study to quantify the impacts linked with building performances under current and future climate conditions (up to the horizon Urban nature-based solutions will be considered among the possible strategies for climate adaptation.

The calculation of the net environmental benefits of the implementation of these solutions will be supported by the NBenefit$ tool developed by LIST, which underpins a system dynamics model (SDM) that combines ecosystem (dis)services with LCA.

It is foreseen to conduct the pLCA study using the Brightway software package for LCA.

You will be enrolled at the University of Luxembourg.


You will receive inputs concerning physics-based and data-driven building energy modelling, respectively from the University of Antwerpen and the University of Louvain, both partners of the project.

The future climate scenarios will be generated by a third partner.

The prospective scenarios will be complemented by regional and time variability assessment to perform sensitivity analysis. In addition, the uncertainty of the prospective LCA results will be quantified.

You will also travel for short periods to the two Universities partners of the project.

Education Background:
Master's degree in environmental engineering, environmental economics or environmental science or equivalent.

MUST HAVE
Organizational skills and interdisciplinary thinking
