The research initiative "SmartProSys: Smart Process Systems for a Green Carbon-based Chemical Production in a Sustainable Society" aims to replace fossil raw materials in chemical production with renewable carbon sources, thus contributing to a carbon-neutral society. It follows a system-oriented strategy and investigates resource-efficient degradation and synthesis strategies at process level, intelligent catalytic conversions at molecular level, and economic and societal impacts at a higher system level. The complexity of the system requires the development of powerful computational and machine learning methods for the design, simulation, optimization and control of the system. SmartProSys involves researchers from the fields of systems-oriented process engineering, chemistry, mathematics, logistics, political science, and psychology. The aim of the SmartProSys is to create a focal point in the sense of the Excellence Initiative of the Federal Government, which is currently funded by the Ministry for Science, Energy, Climate Protection and the Environment of the State of Saxony-Anhalt. Further information about the research initiative SmartProSys can be found on our website: www.smartprosys.ovgu.de

• Interest in a Ph.D. in social sciences
• Interest in interdisciplinary cooperation with, e.g. process systems engineering and environmental psychology
• Interest in knowledge transfer and scientific policy advice in the above mentioned areas is an advantage
