About the position
We invite applications for a 3-year PhD Candidate position focused on the design and planning of large-scale circular supply chain systems that upcycle food waste into valuable resources. The position is part of the research project FOOD2FEED – Transforming Food Waste into Sustainable Feed through Circular Logistics and Insect Bioconversion.
The successful candidate will develop conceptual frameworks and planning principles for the structural design of reverse logistics and circular supply chain systems, enabling reliable and scalable upcycling of food loss and waste into sustainable feed resources.
The position is based at NTNU’s campus in Trondheim, Norway, within the Operations Management (VIL) research group at the Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management. The candidate will be affiliated with a strong research environment in logistics, operations management, and supply chain management, characterized by close collaboration with industry partners and an active international research network.
The purpose of the PhD position is to complete a doctoral education and develop research competence through scientific work leading to a PhD degree.
About the research project
Global food systems face major sustainability challenges: approx. one-third of all food produced is lost or wasted, while food production contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. FOOD2FEED aims to transform food loss and waste side streams (FLWS) into valuable resources by developing circular supply chains that convert waste into sustainable livestock feed through insect bioconversion.
The project brings together research partners NTNU, SINTEF Ocean, and Wageningen University & Research with leading industry partners such as Norsk Kylling (poultry producer and feed user), Bama (fruit/vegetable supplier) and NorInsect (insect protein producer). A central challenge is to develop efficient and robust reverse logistics structures and planning principles that ensure reliable, cost-effective, and scalable collection, processing, and utilization of heterogeneous and uncertain waste streams.
Your role in the project
The PhD Candidate will contribute to research on circular supply chain management and reverse logistics, with emphasis on structural design and planning principles for large-scale, supply-driven and uncertain material flows in circular systems.
The specific PhD topic will be defined and refined in dialogue with the selected candidate, based on their academic background, research interests, and the needs of the project and industry partners. The PhD research will be anchored in circular supply chain management and reverse logistics, and may address themes such as:
- Structural design of reverse and circular supply chains, including material flow configuration, collection, sorting, storage, redistribution, and allocation of roles and interfaces across actors
- Planning and control principles for supply-driven and highly variable material flows
- Strategies for balancing supply and demand under uncertainty in volumes, timing, and quality
- Applications of digitalization and emerging technologies to enhance planning, visibility, and robustness in circular supply chain systems
The methodological approach will primarily be qualitative and exploratory, grounded in a design science research perspective. This entails iterative problem identification, solution development, and evaluation, using methods such as case studies, interviews, workshops, and process mapping. The research will contribute to theory development within circular supply chain management and reverse logistics, while developing practically grounded planning principles and structural frameworks.
The research will be conducted in close collaboration with industry partners and other project researchers. The PhD Candidate will actively engage with partner companies to analyze operational and structural challenges and to co-develop and pilot new supply chain structures and planning approaches. Proposed concepts will be discussed, refined, and evaluated together with practitioners to ensure feasibility, relevance, and scalability in real-world settings.
The PhD Candidate will be part of a core research team at NTNU that leads the FOOD2FEED project and two of its scientific work packages. The PhD Candidate will mainly contribute to the work package on circular supply chain management under the supervision of Associate Professor Anita Romsdal. The candidate will also have the opportunity to engage with the Managerial Economics, Finance and Operations Research (BEDØK) group, in particular Associate Professor Steffen Bakker, and work alongside a Postdoctor Fellow who will be hired as part of the project at the same time.
