Key Responsibilities:
  • Assess the carbon footprint of the wood pellet production process using various woody feedstock including logging residues, mill residues, and roundwood pulpwood of both pine and hardwood species.
  • Utilize FIA's Inventory and Timber Product Output (TPO) data in the various supply chain stages and process of wood pellet production to shipment within the "cradle to grave" system boundary of LCA.
  • Develop a life cycle analysis (LCA) framework to estimate the carbon balance and carbon emissions from each stage of the wood pellet supply chain, from feedstock harvesting to overseas shipments.
  • Define a system boundary with empirical data by utilizing TPO, inventory, and other FIA datasets within the LCA framework to estimate the carbon footprint of each supply chain stage of wood pellet production.
  • Analyze the data and prepare peer-reviewed manuscripts.
  • Lead and assist PI in grant proposals.
  • Work in results dissemination and outreach efforts.
Requirements:
  • Strong econometric and statistical training.
  • Experience in LCA analysis.
What We Offer:
  • A competitive salary range of $55,000-$65,000.
  • A dynamic and collaborative research environment.

Please submit your application, including your CV and a cover letter, to [insert contact information]. We look forward to hearing from you
