FEUP, the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, is recruiting an Entry-Level PhD Researcher for the SHIPSUSTAIR project (Shipping sustainable growth – Monitoring and forecasting air emissions towards climate, ecosystems and health impacts mitigation).

The position is based in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and focuses on Environmental Engineering, ship emissions, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, dispersion modelling, ecosystem impacts, and human health impacts. The researcher will contribute to tasks including future ship emissions inventories, assessment of climate and air-quality impacts, ecosystem and health valuation, and estimation of mitigation costs.

This is a full-time fixed-term research employment contract with a gross monthly base salary of €2,408.11, plus holiday and Christmas allowances and meal allowance. The project is financed through NORTE 2030 with support from Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P.

Eligibility: applicants must hold a PhD in Environmental Engineering or a related area, awarded within the last 5 years, and show a strong research profile. Required experience includes lead authorship of papers in English in Web of Science or Scopus journals on atmospheric shipping emissions, plus practical skills in emissions calculation, atmospheric dispersion, and impact assessment on health and ecosystems. If the degree was awarded abroad, recognition by a Portuguese institution is required before contract signing.

How to apply: submit the application on the Apply UP platform using procedure code INVTERM-FEUP-26-4. Upload the CV, degree certificates, copies of the most relevant works, and any other supporting documents in non-editable format. The deadline is 28 October 2026 at 23:59 Lisbon time.
