About the position
We are looking for a research assistant for work in research projects that analyses the long term persistence of biochar in soil.
There is a growing interest in biochar due to its ability to store carbon and thereby reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. At biochar production, energy products are formed, which affects the energy system. An assessment of the sustainability of biochar systems needs to take into account climate impacts and other environmental aspects. Various societal actors request information on the environmental effects of biochar and the use of resources, in order to support decision-making.
The research group performs several research projects on the environmental impacts of bioenergy-biochar systems nationally and internationally. The research assistant will perform modelling and computations, literature reviews and reporting. Some experimental work may be included.
Your profile
Qualification requirements:
• Education at advanced level in technology or science with a focus on energy or environment.
• The holder of the position must be able to communicate in English, and it is an advantage to also be able to communicate in Swedish.
Meritorious qualities:

Emphasis is placed on personal qualities, such as the ability to work together, analytical and problem-solving ability as well as the ability to work independently.
