We are seeking

a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join Circular Economy and Sustainability Lab at the Department of Engineering Science (central Oxford). The post is funded by UKRI and is fixed-term for one year, with the possibility of an extension. The PDRA will join the Circular Electrical and Electronics Project, which aims to which aims to enable a low-carbon circular economy for Electrical and Electronic Equipment (CEEE) that reduces the mining of rare, expensive and critical raw materials. CEEP is supported by a consortium of over 25 partners from across the EEE value chain. The PDRA will lead the engineering evidence generation activities in Work Package 2. The role will focus on analysing IT and Telecommunications products, including smartphones, laptops, servers and routers, to develop a comprehensive engineering database of circular material, component and product design interventions. This engineering evidence will underpin the subsequent de...
