Description

Suggested skills:

Candidates should have a scientific/technical background and a strong interest in energy issues, besides a Master degree in a relevant science subject or in engineering. He/she would ideally have experience and technical competence in the use of methodologies for sustainability and resource efficiency analysis. To be successful in this role he/she should: have good analytical and quantitative skills to analyse and manage large amounts of data and interpret results; speak and write clearly in English; have good interpersonal and communication attitudes, available to develop and share the experience in a multidisciplinary environment; available to stay in Siena and travel for research purposes

Research team and environment

The project will be carried out at the Research on Renewable Energy and Sustainability Laboratory (R2ES Lab) at the Dep. of Biotechnology, Chemistry and Pharmacy of the University of Siena, under the supervision of Prof. M.L.Parisi and Prof. A. Sinicropi, and in strict collaboration with the Ecodynamics Group (EG), under the supervision of Prof. Federico M. Pulselli, at the Dep. of Physical Sciences, Earth and Environment, University of Siena. Such a multidisciplinary environment will benefit from the wide international scientific experience in various fields of physical and organic chemistry of the R2ES Lab and from the EG’s extensive experience in footprint accounting and carbon neutrality
