About this position
This post-doctoral research fellowship is part of the TERRAMARE project, an integrated terrestrial and marine decision-support tool for assessing resource use trade-offs in Europe. The work is centred on analysing the energy and material implications of digital technologies, with a specific focus on computing and communications equipment.
The successful researcher will develop forward-looking scenarios for electricity consumption linked to computing and communications equipment, and will examine the materials used in the production and use of this equipment. The project also asks the fellow to assess wider resource impacts, including water consumption, carbon dioxide emissions, and land use, and to compare these impacts with those of other economic sectors.
The fellowship is hosted at MARETEC/DEM at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. The academic supervision is by Professor Tânia Sousa.
The position is embedded in a Horizon Europe-funded research environment and includes the preparation of scientific articles based on the results obtained.
