Carbon Leadership Forum, University of Washington seeking Building and Materials Researcher (remote position)
The Carbon Leadership Forum in the College of Built Environments at the University of Washington has an outstanding opportunity for a Building and Materials Researcher. The Carbon Leadership Forum, a research organization based out of the University of Washington's College of Built Environment, is seeking a collaborative Building and Materials Researcher to help execute our mission to accelerate the decarbonization of the building sector through eliminating the embodied carbon in building materials and construction through collective action.Embodied carbon refers to the greenhouse gas emissions generated by the manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance, and disposal of construction materials used in buildings, roads, and other infrastructure. We need to reduce embodied carbon by 40-65% by 2030 to meet the reduction scenarios set by the IPCC to avoid catastrophic effects of climate change, and yet current building design and construction practice is failing to adequa...
