You will join WMG as part of the EPSRC-funded Sustainable Engineering Plastics Hub, a national research centre focused on transforming the sustainability of plastics through innovative materials, manufacturing, recycling, and circular systems.

In this role, you will lead and support sustainability assessments, primarily Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and, where appropriate, Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA), across several of the Hub’s core research projects. Working closely with academic, industry, and government partners, you will generate evidence-based insights to inform sustainable design, material choices, and policy recommendations.
