About this position
This two-year postdoctoral position at Linnaeus University is centered on building engineering with a specific focus on the climate implications of wood-based construction products and buildings. The project examines how timber-based construction contributes to climate transition debates through a research agenda built around the environmental performance of buildings across their full life cycle.
The postdoctoral researcher will join an interdisciplinary research team working on a systematic and decision-relevant synthesis of existing research on climate impacts from wood-based construction. The project covers the full value chain of timber-based building systems, including forest management, raw material extraction, primary and secondary processing, construction, the use phase of buildings, by-product handling, and end-of-life processes. A central task is to identify where current research converges or conflicts, and to examine how assumptions, system boundaries, parameters and methodological choices shape conclusions about climate impact.
The position is embedded in the Formas-funded project Climate Change Implications of Wood-Based Construction Products and Buildings, hosted by the Department of Building Technology and the Department of Forest and Wood Technology. The project is carried out in collaboration with partners at Chalmers University of Technology and the Swedish Forest Research Institute (Skogforsk). It is also linked to the Competitive Timber Structures research profile and the Linnaeus University Centre for Competitive Timber Structures (LnuC TiSt), which connect the work to wider efforts in innovation and sustainability within the construction sector.
The research environment combines academic and industrial collaboration, with emphasis on producing robust evidence that can support policy, regulation, public procurement and spatial planning. The postdoc is expected to take part in the universities’ academic environments and research networks, engage with project partners, contribute to national expert workshops, and publish high-quality scientific papers.
The project’s overall aim is to build a more transparent, consistent and scientifically robust basis for assessing climate impacts from wood-based construction products and buildings.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in building engineering, wood technology or a closely related field, or an equivalent foreign degree. The degree must have been awarded no more than three years before the application deadline and no later than the time of appointment. Candidates must have experience from systematic literature reviews during doctoral studies and experience applying methods and tools for material flow analysis, carbon footprinting and life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate the use of wood in building systems and its climate benefits. A good understanding of wood material production, its use in building systems, and the environmental impact of building materials and building systems is required. Applicants must not previously have been employed as a postdoc at Linnaeus University for more than one year in the same or a closely related subject. Good skills in English, spoken and written, are required; Swedish is meritorious. Research collaboration experience and teaching experience in building engineering are additional merits.
