We are looking to appoint a researcher that will become a key member of the EPSRC collaboration project ‘Co-creating Equitable Circular Food Systems Through A Digital Hub’ which operates between the University of Bristol and University of Nottingham. You will be based at the Bristol Veterinary School under the tutelage of animal scientist Dr Daniel Enriquez-Hidalgo and Professor of Environmetrics Murray Lark (University of Nottingham). You will have the opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary team (computer, operations management, agricultural, environmental and social sciences) and work closely in the John Oldacre Centre for Dairy Welfare and Sustainability Research ( https://www.bristol.ac.uk/vet-school/research/john-oldacre-centre/ ). We are looking for someone to lead and conduct the modelling of material flows in the apple supply chain, including life cycle assessment (LCA), to facilitate the interpretation of multiple data streams and the evaluation of options to increase circularity in the system. The post-holder will share the modelling exercise learning to link in with related work being led by the computer science and operations management teams to develop the digital hub. You will provide direct support to the study on effects of apple pomace as a feedstuff for dairy heifers to improve apple chain circularity.
