Within Utrecht University’s strategic theme “Pathways to Sustainability” an interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed the impact-oriented research programme ‘Deep Decarbonization: Towards Industry with Negative Emissions’. In this programme, a broad group of researchers (Renewable Energy Systems, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Climate Policies, Innovation Studies, Governance, Economics and Law) will be working together with an equally broad group from industry, government and civil society, to generate new concepts to support the radical transformation of industry needed for our society to meet the ambitions of the Paris Agreement.
The hub pursues three research lines to answer this overarching question:
(1) Biofuels with Negative Emissions (BFNE)
(2) Subsurface Resources for Negative Emissions (SRNE)
(3) Industry in Transition (IiT)
Requirements
The position is part of research line 3. We invite applications from candidates whose previous research activities and publication record reflect a strong interest and/or proven expertise in conducting transdisciplinary research on investment in sustainability transitions in energy and industry. We look for candidates who are able to not only analyze, but are also able to generate actionable knowledge and inspiring perspectives that practitioners can use and apply in their sustainability transition efforts within industry.
