Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)

The Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry invites applications for the position of

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCER / DOCTORAL RESEARCHER

for a fixed term position starting on 1 January 2025, or as agreed. The position is suited either for a Doctoral researcher, or for a Postdoctoral researcher. A Doctoral researcher is expected to work full time on the PhD thesis and to complete their thesis in three years.

The employment will extend over a period of 2-3 years, depending on the starting date of the contract and the type of the position (shorter for a Postdoctoral researcher, longer for a Doctoral researcher).

The position is located at the Department of Forest Sciences in the research group Forest Bioeconomy, Business, and Sustainability (FBBS). The position connects with the following projects:


	Reduced emissions through wood use: Mitigation pathways towards carbon neutrality (REDEEM, funded by the Research Council of Finland)
	Navigating European Forests and Forest Bioeconomy Sustainably to EU Climate Neutrality (ForestNavigator, coordinated by IIASA, funded by European Commission H2020)


REDEEM investigates the scale and timing of net greenhouse gas emissions in the event of an expanding bioeconomy and aims at realistic estimates of the forest sector’s contribution to the Paris Agreement by considering market dynamics and alternative carbon neutrality pathways. The project combines several methodological approaches and involves life cycle assessment (LCA), econometric analysis, simulation modelling, and future-oriented market research.

ForestNavigator assesses the climate change mitigation potential of European forests and forest-based sector through modelling of policy pathways, informing the public authorities on the most suitable approaches to forest policy and bioeconomy. The project relies on an integrated policy modelling framework for the EU forests and forest bioeconomy covering all relevant climate impacts and feedbacks, mitigation strategies, and forest ecosystem services. The University of Helsinki takes responsibility in assessing the future outlook of the European forest product markets and the climate change mitigation potential associated with industrial wood uses.

We are looking for a new team member to strengthen quantitative data analysis within the two projects, focused on consequential life cycle assessment (C-LCA) to estimate the avoided fossil emissions attributed to changes in wood uses and, more generally, climate change mitigation pathways in selected sectors.

Duties

Depending on the orientation and interests of the candidate, the duties may include:


	Contributing to building a system dynamics model for the textiles sector for examining the climate change mitigation potential of industry strategies and policy interventions.
	Modelling indirect market effects of chosen substitution cases, for example, with an open-source general equilibrium model (GTAP).
	Determining carbon parity periods for selected substitution cases, and comparisons to carbon budgets.
	Consequential LCA cases with an emphasis on market dynamics.


The duties may also include teaching and student supervision. Teaching tasks can account for up to 5 % of the annual working time.

Qualifications:


	PhD (for Postdoc) / MSc (for Doctoral researcher) in a relevant discipline (applied economics, engineering, sustainability science, industrial ecology, etc.)
	Strong background in one or more of the following: consequential LCA, simulation modelling (agent-based, system dynamics, or equilibrium modelling), programming (R or Python), econometrics and statistics
	Proficiency in spoken and written English (at least level C1)
	Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
	Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, the ability to prioritise and organise her/his daily task, and the ability to work both independently and as a part of a research group


The appointee is expected to reside in Finland while employed by the University of Helsinki.

The appointee to a Doctoral researcher’s position should either already have the right to pursue a doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki by the start of the appointment or apply for the right and obtain it within the probationary period of six months of their appointment. If the appointee does not already have the right to pursue a doctoral degree at the University of Helsinki, it must be applied for separately, please see: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/admissions-and-education/apply-doctoral-programmes/how-apply-doctoral-programmes and https://www.helsinki.fi/en/research/doctoral-education/the-application-process-in-a-nutshell

Advantages:
