Call for applications: graduate student researcher (PhD student) and postdoctoral associates on LCA research

摘要

Modern societies generate and mobilize chemicals of enormous diversity and quantity. However, our understanding of the life cycle environmental impacts of chemicals and materials has not kept pace with new discoveries or with the production scale of chemicals. Development of a rapid, early stage tool to evaluate life cycle impacts has a broad relevance to industry, government, and academic communities. We have received a significant amount of funding to develop the science, data, and the tool that will enable an open-access, online platform, the Chemical Life-Cycle Builder (CLB) for early stage life cycle environmental evaluation of chemicals and materials.
