This project is in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy’s Global 
Aquaculture Program, for a
full-time postdoctoral researcher to be based at the Harvard TH Chan 
School of Public Health and
supervised by Dr. Chris Golden. The postdoctoral researcher will also be 
co-advised by Dr. Jessica
Gephart at the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center and Robert 
Jones of the Nature
Conservancy. The postdoctoral researcher will identify aquaculture 
systems that provide maximum
nutrition with minimal environmental impacts by integrating nutritional 
dimensions into
aquaculture life cycle analysis (LCA). We will develop the method using 
published LCA data and use
the reviewed studies to identify priority locations and aquaculture 
systems for further empirical
data collection and novel analysis. This project consists of four 
stages: 1) review and synthesize
previous aquaculture LCAs; 2) integrate a nutritional dimension into the 
reanalysis of previous LCA
studies; 3) identify gaps and priority areas to collect data for 
original LCA studies; and 4) conduct a
series of novel LCAs for selected aquaculture species and production 
types. In doing so, the results
of this project will outline aquaculture systems with high potential to 
positively contribute to
environmental conservation, sustainable development, and global human 
food security.
