To explore the potential of re-use of solar panels the Municipality of Amsterdam has approved a project coordinated by Amsterdam Metropolitan Institute for Sustainable Solutions.
The growth of solar panel installations in Amsterdam is remarkable but also implies considerable challenges. It is expected that solar panel e-waste will increase later in this decade, mainly from the first generation of installed solar panels that will reach the end of their lifetime. In addition, e-waste will also be caused by the replacement of relatively new solar panels.
To explore the potential of re-use of solar panels the Municipality of Amsterdam has approved a project coordinated by Amsterdam Metropolitan Institute for Sustainable Solutions (AMS) to study opportunities, conditions and constraints of re-using of solar panels, which combines a research part with practical implementation activities by project partners from practice.
The research part will be conducted by a postdoc who will partly work the ESS department of faculty of TPM in Delft and partly at the AMS institute in Amsterdam. The hired postdoc will contribute to the PV re-use project by (i) looking into the state of the literature, (ii) identifying promising policy instruments and governance options, (iii) and by developing product-service concepts, business cases and options how re-use can be organised, to assess potential locations in Amsterdam, and to identify relevant cases and developments elsewhere in the Netherlands. It may include assessing how re-use may influence the environmental impact and user acceptance research, and a plan how replication to other locations in the Netherlands can take place.
15-20% of the position will be dedicated to (support on) teaching on sustainable innovations and transitions, supervision of relevant master thesis projects, and (contributing to) developing research proposals for the Circularity Lab at the department. This research part consists of a 10 months postdoctoral research position at the faculty of Technology, Policy, Management of TU Delft at the section of Energy of Industry in the Department of Engineering Services and Services, preferably starting at December 1, 2022, or as soon as possible after December 1.
The postdoc will conduct the following activities:
This is an interesting opportunity for researchers who have nearly or recently finished a PhD in innovation or transition studies and have an interest and expertise on sustainable innovation, transitions and Circular Economy.
Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants we offer the Coming to Delft Service and Partner Career Advice to assist you with your relocation. An International Children’s Centre offers childcare and there is an international primary school.
Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context.
At TU Delft we embrace diversity as one of our core values and we actively engage to be a university where you feel at home and can flourish. We value different perspectives and qualities. We believe this makes our work more innovative, the TU Delft community more vibrant and the world more just. Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale. That is why we invite you to apply. Your application will receive fair consideration.
Challenge. Change. Impact!
With its excellent education and research at the intersection of technology, society and policy, the Faculty of TPM makes an important contribution to solving complex technical-social issues, such as energy transition, mobility, digitalisation, water management and (cyber) security.
We combine insights from the engineering sciences, the social and the humanities. We develop robust models and designs, are internationally oriented and have an extensive network with knowledge institutions, companies, social organisations and governments.
