PhD Position in Circularization of the Construction Industry

The goal of this research project is to explore how the implementation of urban resource centers can reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry. By examining material stock and flow modeling, life cycle assessment, and industrial ecology concepts, we aim to develop a comprehensive understanding of circularity in construction.

This fully-funded PhD position at Chalmers University of Technology involves collaboration with the Sustainable Building Research group and the division of Construction Management at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering. The project's transdisciplinary approach combines expertise from industrial ecology and construction logistics.
