We are seeking an Associate Counsellor specialising in Industrial Ecology and Systems Modelling to contribute to research, analysis, and consulting assignments focused on material-flow analysis, industrial resource productivity, computational modelling, and technology assessment.
The role involves analysing industrial resource systems, evaluating material and energy flows, developing quantitative models, and assessing sustainable resource-use pathways. The ideal candidate will have a strong engineering or systems analysis background, with the ability to translate scientific and technical findings into practical insights and decision-support tools.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct material-flow analysis (MFA), substance-flow accounting, material balancing, and industrial resource-use assessments.
- Analyse industrial resource productivity and identify opportunities to improve material efficiency and resource utilisation.
- Undertake systems analysis to understand the interactions between energy, water, carbon, and material flows across industrial processes.
- Define appropriate system boundaries and evaluate resource dependencies and interrelationships within complex industrial systems.
- Develop and apply computational models to assess industrial resource systems and evaluate alternative technological and resource-use pathways.
- Conduct scenario analysis to assess the potential environmental and resource implications of different industrial and technological interventions.
- Use Python, R, or comparable computational tools for data analysis, quantitative modelling, and visualisation.
- Analyse critical materials and material supply chains, including resource availability, dependencies, and potential supply risks.
- Assess resource exchange opportunities between industrial processes and unit operations.
- Apply input-output analysis, process integration techniques, and related tools to evaluate industrial resource efficiency.
- Evaluate circularity opportunities across batteries, solar photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, electronics, and other technology sectors.
- Apply life-cycle assessment (LCA) principles and relevant ISO 14040/14044 frameworks to support sustainability assessments and reporting.
- Contribute to applied research, consulting projects, and technology assessments related to industrial systems and resource transitions.
- Translate scientific and engineering analysis into practical recommendations, analytical outputs, and decision-support tools.
- Prepare technical reports, research findings, presentations, and project deliverables for relevant stakeholders.
