Job description
The position is for an independent researcher, integrated in the team but with considerable freedom to pursue own research agendas within the broader agenda of the group, related to climate, energy and broader environmental policy topics. Our work together will focus on empirical energy and climate policy analysis, including the role of policy in past (successful and failed) transitions, and feedback between policies, technologies and systems. Our empirical work serves as the basis for rigorous prospective analysis of policy options, as information to support upcoming policy decisions and processes. This may include using both quantitative and qualitative methods, including methodological advances wherever appropriate. We will consider excellent candidates with either qualitative or quantitative backgrounds; both are equally appropriate for the position.The position comes with standard teaching obligations for a full-time position (5 hours/week each semester). The teaching is done independently but in coordination with the group and the faculty. The principal tasks are research and publication of results in international peer-reviewed journals, proposal writing and grant management, as well as collaboration within the Sustainability Transition Policy group and supporting junior group colleagues.
