Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers Full time
PhD Student in Environmental and Resource Assessment of Ocean Mining

At Chalmers, we are committed to fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship that drives positive change. This PhD project is an exciting opportunity to contribute to our mission by exploring the environmental and resource impacts of ocean mining.

The increasing demand for battery materials in Sweden and Europe presents a significant challenge. We need to ensure a sustainable supply chain for these critical resources. Our research focuses on comparing the environmental and resource impacts of ocean mining to land-based mining using prospective life cycle assessment. This involves evaluating climate, biodiversity, and other impact categories from extraction to the final product.

As a researcher in this project, you will work closely with our multidisciplinary team, combining expertise in environmental engineering, industrial ecology, and marine biology. You will have access to cutting-edge facilities at the Kristineberg Center for Marine Research and Innovation, providing opportunities for experimental studies and collaboration with marine geological experts.

The position is located within our Division of Environmental Systems Analysis, which applies systems-based approaches to evaluate environmental problems and resource limitations. We strive towards a sustainable future through interdisciplinary research and education.

  • Conduct research under the guidance of supervisors and develop environmental and resource assessment methods.
  • Acquire and communicate knowledge related to the PhD project.
  • Collaborate with reference groups and societal actors.
