【Research project】Plastics and Petrochemical Politics in the Climate Emergency (part of a collective larger project on “Taiwan 2050 zero carbons emissions,” Academia Sinica’s 2021 Sustainability Science Research Program)
【Time and schedule】3 years (2021-2023); full time position starting in January 2021
【Research goal】Cement, steel, plastics and transports account for more than 40% of total carbon emissions, making these four industries the main obstacles to tackle toward a low-carbon society. This cross-disciplinary collective research project focusing on the case of Taiwan (which ranks among the largest carbon emitters globally) aims to produce scientific breakthroughs and practical solutions for the drastic mitigation of carbon emissions. It is composed of three different sub-projects focusing on innovative politics (team 1), a reduction model (team 2), and a case study on the petrochemical industry (team 3). The mission for this postdoctoral position will be to work with the third team on the specific case of the petrochemical industry and in particular on the production and consumption of oil-based plastics.
【Research method】Data analysis, participant observation, interviews
