Postdoctoral Researcher –Feedstock Production Life Cycle Analysis - Lemont, United States - Argonne National Laboratory
Description
The Materials Life Cycle Analysis Group of the Systems Assessment Center within the Energy Systems and Infrastructure Analysis Division at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking qualified applicants for a full-time Post-Doctoral Researcher position, working life cycle analysis (LCA) of bioenergy and agricultural systems with specific focus on effects of farming practices on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions including soil carbon. The Materials Life Cycle Analysis Group has research projects for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and other sponsors to assess the energy and environmental outcomes associated with fuels, products, and other systems to address environmental effects of bioenergy feedstock production, bioenergy production, and agriculture decarbonization. The Systems Assessment Center has a history of 30 years in the field of life cycle analysis (LCA).
A successful candidate will assess the environmental impacts of farming systems by examining different farming practices, their effects on agricultural yields, GHG emissions, and other environmental effects, applying models/tools to simulating farming practices, and to collect data from open literature and statistics from US Department of Agriculture and other agencies.
The candidate will work on projects to evaluate the synergies between the decarbonization of U.S. agriculture and the production of low-carbon intensity (CI) feedstock for biofuels and bioproducts. Specific research focuses include: 1) quantifying soil carbon including soil organic carbon (SOC) changes and GHG emissions including nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions associated with current and emerging farming practices/technologies adopted in US farming, and 2) developing and expanding existing tools at Argonne to address farming practices and technologies with U.S. regional resolution. Such Argonne tools include the Carbon Calculator for Land Use and Land Management Change from Biofuels Production (CCLUB) and Feedstock Carbon Intensity Calculator (FD-CIC), both of which are part of the GREET LCA model suite (see ).
The candidate will work with a diversified group of researchers within Argonne's Systems Assessment Center to benefit from the long history of life cycle analysis research of the Center. The candidate will have opportunities to collaborate with the scientists/researchers externally from universities, other national laboratories, and companies, and project sponsors including US Department of Energy and Department of Agriculture. The candidate will have opportunities to attend conferences/workshops to present and learn and publish results in journals.
