Assistant Professor in Circular Economy, Eco-Design and Design Engineering

CentraleSupélec, Université Paris-Saclay

 

Location: CentraleSupélec, Université Paris-Saclay, France
Role: Assistant Professor
Closing Date: 14 May 2024

 

We are very pleased to open an Assistant Professor position (CDI de droit public) in Circular Economy, Eco-Design and Design Engineering at CentraleSupélec, Université Paris-Saclay, France.

The candidate recruited will join the Industrial Engineering & Operations (GIO) department and conduct research in the Industrial Engineering Laboratory (LGI). They will be an expert in Circular Economy from the perspective of Industrial Engineering and Design Engineering. Their expertise will cover methods and tools for eco-design, eco-innovation, industrial ecology, diagnosis and quantified environmental assessment (in particular, Material Flow Analysis (MFA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)). They will be able to grasp the complexity of large-scale socio-technical systems (product-service systems, value chains, multi-actor design processes) and ideally create bridges between the Circular Economy and Design Sciences in the broadest sense, notably around approaches to modelling, simulation and optimization of environmental performance or circularity. Their expertise could cover optimization and/or AI methods for scaling up and automating diagnosis and quantified environmental assessment. Ideally, they will have international experience and be able to teach in English.

Applications are open until May 14, 2024. The detailed profile and the application procedure are available on CentraleSupélec's website: https://www.centralesupelec.fr/sites/default/files/24.04.15_profil_anglais_pour_publication_poste_mcf_lgi-economie_circulaire_v10_fr1.pdf
