Your Job:
A significant portion of land is allocated to produce animal-based food products, and the arable land utilized for fodder production could potentially be utilized for direct food production. Simultaneously, the sector responsible for animal-based food production is one of the leading contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. As the global population continues to grow, there is a corresponding increase in the demand for animal-based food products, further exacerbating the strain on already limited resources. This prompts the question: What viable alternatives exist to substitute animal-based food products? Furthermore, what effect would reducing or increasing the demand for animal-based foods trigger? Your tasks in detail:
- Work out an overview of possible alternative protein sources.
- Identify the techno-economic parameters as well as the land and water requirements for these protein sources.
- You have the opportunity to develop different scenarios from your results in order to model and analyze the effects of these different diets in an existing energy system model
Your Profile:
- You have good written and spoken English skills
- You are interested in analyzing data and processing it in Python
- You are interested in developing scientific modelling approaches and dealing with complex issues
- You are highly motivated and able to work independently and analytically and have a high degree of self-organization and time management skills
Even if you have no previous experience in modelling with Python, we look forward to receiving your application if you are enthusiastic about the topic and willing to familiarize yourself with complex topics in a short time.
