Job ref: a8dd597879564a43b2fe3fe8094626d8
Full Job Description
Do you have a strong interest in eliminating single-use plastic packaging? Do you have experience in Process Systems Engineering and Sustainability? Are you keen to develop your career in optimising novel material supply chains?
Achieving a sustainable and net zero ambition for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) packaging is a massive industry-wide challenge. The biggest contributor to FMCG plastic waste footprint are products within single-use, single-dose flexible packaging. Today, there is no formal or informal collection infrastructure for these environmentally persistent formats, leading to very high levels of littering, with the rest ending up in landfills.
In this project, you will develop mathematical models and optimisation protocols to improve our understanding of machinability and viability during large-scale deployment of novel sustainable packaging. This will involve mapping the materials resource supply chain across geopolitical boundaries, integrating novel manufacturing methods into an intensified process flowsheet, developing life cycle sustainability assessments through multiple decision criteria and evaluating supply chain uncertainties aligned to FMCG packaging.
This project is funded via the UKRI EPSRC early-stage Prosperity Partnership across Imperial College, the University of Leeds, the University of Manchester and an international FMCG company, to address the critical issues of the lack of a truly sustainable packaging alternative.
o 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - That's 42 days a year!
o Generous pension scheme plus life assurance - the University contributes 14.5% of salary.
o Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
o Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team.
o Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes are also available.
And much more!
