Job description:
Funded by UKRI EPSRC, IGNITE (Indigenous Green-steel for Net-zero Innovation, Technology and Enterprise) Sustainable Manufacturing Hub is a multi-university/industry partnership that will kick start a green steel revolution supporting a just transition to net zero economic growth. The current potential for the transition of UK steelworks to net zero operation holds initial challenges but long-term opportunities. In the decades to come, Indigenous steel production can drive a green industrial revolution. This £22m IGNITE Sustainable Manufacturing Hub (2025 – 2032) aims to lead on the emerging opportunities for UK wide produced green steel to underpin our just transition to net zero.
We are recruiting a post-doctoral research associate for the IGNITE Sustainable Manufacturing Hub. The post being advertised for is located in the Sheffield University Management School and a key member of the Advanced Resource Efficiency Centre (AREC), Energy Institute. We are primarily looking for someone with excellent domain knowledge and the ability and desire to work in a cross-disciplinary manner.
The successful candidate will specialise in supply chain resilience, life cycle assessment (LCA) and supply chain sustainability modelling. The successful candidate will work with Prof Lenny Koh (Deputy Director of IGNITE) to deliver C3.2 (Supply chain optimisation and LCA). C3.2 will build from three research anchors: (a) supply chain sustainability approach for new materials and technologies, (b) prospective LCA with geo-spatial-temporal approach to forecast future sustainability, (c) resiliency measurement to future proof and safeguard critical resources. C3.2 will assess new and green steel alloy supply chain resilience and holistic sustainability.
The University of Sheffield is a remarkable place to work. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Their diverse backgrounds, abilities and beliefs make Sheffield a world-class university.
