Offer Description
Background
In the pursuit of enhancing global well-being within planetary limits, sustainable infrastructure research stands as a critical endeavour. Far beyond a mere physical construct, infrastructure serves as a nexus where production, asset stock, service needs, and investments converge. Key challenges, such as the low-carbon transition, climate adaptation, managing stranded assets, and navigating the growth dynamics of the Global South, further underscore the urgency of this research. Moreover, the extraction of global resources along the infrastructure supply chains and their consequential environmental impacts are intricately linked, transcending national boundaries. A nuanced, systematic understanding of these intricate dynamics are imperative for fostering a sustainable future. To address the demands of development while ensuring environmental stewardship, a comprehensive, economy-wide analysis becomes imperative.
This PhD vacancy, funded by the Leiden University Incentive Research Grant, invites candidates to unravel this intricate web of interactions, contributing to theoretical advancements and informing the ongoing dialogue surrounding sustainable infrastructure development. The candidate will develop methodologies capable of modeling the trajectory of global infrastructure development, guiding it toward a more sustainable and resilient future. The culmination of this research will involve an empirical exploration focusing on EU infrastructure investment needs and their environmental implications spanning the period from 2020 to 2050.
