The Faculty of Science and Institute of Environmental Sciences are looking for:
1 PhD candidate on developing biodiversity-inclusive strategies for the energy transition.
Vacancy number: 14334
We are excited to invite applications for a PhD candidate position within our interdisciplinary research team at the Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML). The focus of this opportunity is to contribute to deepening our understanding of the impact of mining activities on freshwater ecosystems.
Position Overview The selected candidate will lead the development of large-scale models (continental to global) to predict the impact of current and future mining activities on freshwater resources and biodiversity. There exists compelling evidence on the disruptive effects of mining activities on freshwater ecosystems, extending several kilometers downstream from mining sites. However, global assessments inadequately quantify these impacts due to a lack of knowledge regarding biodiversity responses to the many ways in which mining affects freshwater ecosystems. This knowledge gap is particularly critical in the context of the transition to a carbon-neutral society. The anticipated surge in metals demand needed for renewable technologies, is set to escalate conflicts between raw material extraction and conservation, emphasizing the need to disentangle these conflicts for a sustainable and biodiversity-inclusive energy transition.
We seek candidates with a strong quantitative background (programming, GIS) and familiarity with hydrological and ecological processes, but also someone who is keen to learn and develop these skills. The candidate will operate at the intersection of ecology and hydrology, focusing on developing predictive models. These models will not only be employed to carry out global impact assessments but also to enhance the characterization of mining impacts on biodiversity within sustainability assessment tools such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmentally Extended Multi-Regional Input-Output (EE-MRIO).
The Ph.D. candidate will be supervised by Dr. Valerio Barbarossa and Prof. René Kleijn, who are dedicated to fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and supportive research environment. The candidate will also engage with the larger “resources and energy”, “biodiversity” as well as “industrial ecology” research groups at the Institute of Environmental Sciences, providing ample opportunities for networking and collaboration.
Key responsibilities As a PhD candidate, you will:
- Develop numerical models to predict the impacts of mining on freshwater ecosystems.
- Use the developed models to characterize impacts of mining in sustainability assessment tools such as LCA and EE-MRIO.
- Assess mining impacts on freshwater ecosystems under various energy transition scenarios.
- Work independently with confidence while maintaining a collegial and proactive attitude.
- Communicate findings through scientific publications and presentations at national and international conferences.
- Help with supervision of MSc students for thesis projects.
- Work on cutting-edge research ideas and proposals together with the supervisors.
Selection Criteria
- You hold an MSc degree, ideally in Environmental Science, Biology, Industrial Ecology, Sustainability, or a related discipline.
- You have experience in spatial data analyses using GIS software and/or programming environments such as R or Python. Experience with "big data" is a plus.
- You have experience in mechanistic and/or statistical modeling. Familiarity with (mixed effect) regression modeling is an advantage.
- Previous knowledge of conducting systematic reviews/meta-analyses is an advantage.
- You exhibit a proactive and flexible attitude, along with excellent communication skills.
- You are a team player capable of effectively communicating work to researchers from various disciplines.
- You have very good written and spoken communication skills in English.

We are located at the heart of Leiden’s Bio Science Park, one of Europe’s biggest science parks, where university and business life come together.
The environmental science research in CML is organized around two major research areas: ‘Industrial Ecology’ and ‘Environmental Biology’. This makes CML one of the few institutes covering both the circular, sustainable economic use of natural resources and natural capital, as well as assessing the environmental impacts of economic activities on natural resources, biodiversity and natural capital. Presently, over 130 FTE (including postdocs and PhDs) are employed at CML. CML collaborates with the TU Delft and Erasmus University (Rotterdam) in the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Sustainability (LDE-CfS).
Terms and conditions At Leiden University, a PhD candidate is seen as an employee rather than a student. As such, we offer a 1-year position with the possibility of extension to 4 years based on performance and following the pay scale P in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.

The Fulbright Schuman Program awards scholarships to American citizens for research in the European Union with a focus on EU affairs/policy, or the US-EU transatlantic agenda.
The Fulbright Schuman Program is administered by the Fulbright Commission in Belgium and is jointly financed by the U.S. Department of State and the Directorate-General for Education and Culture of the European Commission. Grants are available for American students and professionals, including professionals in training – decision-makers, policy-makers, individuals in industry, the media, politics, academia, and public administration – who wish to study, research, or lecture on a topic relevant to U.S.-EU relations, EU policy, or EU institutions.
Following an initial review of their written application, applicants who are recommended by IIE can expect to be contacted by the Fulbright Commission in Brussels for an interview in mid-February.
Proposals will be considered both from candidates who plan to be based primarily in one member state as well as candidates who will divide their time between host institutions in two or more EU member states. Candidates planning to be based in only one member state should ensure that their proposed research still demonstrates a pan-European perspective. American applicants to the Fulbright Schuman Program apply through IIE (for students) and the Fulbright Scholar Program (for scholars). Grants range from 6 to 9 months (for students) and from 3 to 9 months (for scholars). Please note that eligibility criteria for the program differ depending on whether applicants are applying for the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program or the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. For more information, please see the individual awards below. Scholars should search for awards under ‘European Union’ as country.

62ème Programme d'Études Supérieures
Le 62ème Programme d'études supérieures se tiendra au Palais des Nations à Genève, en Suisse, du 1er au 12 juillet 2024 et aura pour thème : "Sommet de l'Avenir : Défis et opportunités". Le Programme comprendra des conférences données le matin par des représentants des Nations Unies, d'autres organisations internationales, du secteur civil et des diplomates, des visites d'institutions et des travaux de groupe l'après-midi. Les étudiants, répartis en cinq groupes de travail, étudieront les cinq chapitres du Pacte pour l'avenir, et présenteront leurs conclusions dans de brefs documents et exposés à la fin du Programme. Ce processus de recherche et de rédaction sera mené par les étudiants et leur appartiendra, avec un soutien limité de la part des animateurs.
Le programme sera très intensif, avec un engagement moyen de 8 à 10 heures par jour, et ce, pendant dix jours. Bien que la participation au Programme soit gratuite, les participants devront couvrir leurs propres frais de visa, de voyage, de nourriture et d'hébergement à Genève. L'Office des Nations unies à Genève n'est pas en mesure d'accorder des bourses ou d'organiser des parrainages.
Ce programme est ouvert aux étudiants diplômés actuellement inscrits, âgés de 22 à 32 ans, ne travaillant pas à temps plein et parlant couramment l'anglais, à l'écrit comme à l'oral.
