About this position

The University of Bayreuth is seeking a Doctoral Researcher (PhD student) to join the ERC-funded SEMPATHY project under the supervision of Professor Christoph Helbig. This position focuses on Material Flow Analysis (MFA) and the development of innovative Material Pathway Analysis methods to track metals throughout their lifecycle, from mining to recycling. The research will involve developing data structures for global metal flow compositions and analyzing the lifecycle of metals, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and closing material cycles.

The successful candidate will work within an international, interdisciplinary team and benefit from a fully funded position (TV-L E13, 75% with a possible 25% increase), generous travel and open access funding, and support from the UBT Graduate School and Welcome Center. The project is based in Bayreuth, Germany, offering a high quality of life in Upper Franconia. Applicants should have a relevant background in environmental science, materials science, engineering, or related fields, and a passion for sustainability and data-driven research. The application deadline is 9 January 2026. For more information, interested candidates are encouraged to contact Professor Helbig directly.

Funding details

The position is fully funded under the TV-L E13 pay scale at 75% with a possible 25% increase. Additional benefits include a generous travel budget, open access funding, and support from the UBT Graduate School and Welcome Center.

What's required

Applicants should have a strong passion for Material Flow Analysis and interest in global metal cycles. A relevant background in environmental science, materials science, engineering, or a related field is expected. Experience with data structures, lifecycle analysis, or sustainability topics is advantageous. The position is open to doctoral researchers (PhD level).
