The research project is titled Landfill Mining: Pasts and Futures of Waste Management and starts summer or fall 2023.
This 1-year research position is part of a US Department of Energy-funded team investigating the potential benefits and impacts of “landfill mining.”
The candidate will work with Dr. Jonathan Robins to investigate patterns of landfill development and engage in interdisciplinary research to evaluate the impacts of landfill mining on landfill-adjacent communities.
Landfills and other waste management sites are frequently the causes of environmental and social injustices, yet many waste sites also hold substantial quantities of aluminum and other resources.
New and current students in Social Sciences graduate programs are eligible to apply (IHA, EEP, and Sustainable Communities) as well as current undergraduates applying for accelerated MS degrees in these programs.
Please contact Dr. Robins at jrobins@mtu.edu to arrange an informational interview about this position.
