PhD Position in Multi-level Material Cycles and Market Dynamics

This PhD position in Multi-level Material Cycles and Market Dynamics requires advanced academic training, typically at a master's degree level or equivalent, preparing candidates for doctoral research. The role focuses on analyzing complex material cycles across multiple levels, likely involving the study of resource flows, sustainability, and environmental impacts within economic and industrial systems. Candidates should possess strong analytical and quantitative skills, including proficiency in data analysis, modeling, and possibly system dynamics or agent-based modeling to capture market behaviors and material flow interactions. Familiarity with interdisciplinary research methods combining environmental science, economics, and industrial ecology is advantageous. The position demands critical thinking and the ability to synthesize information from diverse data sources to understand market dynamics influencing material cycles. Strong academic writing and communication skills are essential for publishing research findings and contributing to scientific discourse. While specific technical tools are not detailed, experience with statistical software, programming languages such as Python, R, or MATLAB, and data visualization tools would be beneficial. The candidate should demonstrate a capacity for independent research, project management, and collaboration within academic or research teams. Overall, this role is suited for candidates aiming to develop expertise in sustainable resource management, circular economy principles, and the economic factors driving material usage and recycling processes.
