Description |
SEI is seeking a junior energy systems researcher that will conduct energy modelling and planning in the context of research projects on low carbon transitions. The work is initially focused on research in an interdisciplinary EU research project PATHWAYS doing quantitative scenarios for heat energy supply and demand in Sweden and other European countries. The first task is to build a model of Sweden’s current heat system based on data gathered in ongoing case study work, and quantify a set of two scenarios representing different plausible development trajectories. In addition, an early task is to collaborate with international partners and assess the feasibility of conduct the same analysis for two additional countries, Germany and UK. The successful candidate is also expected to engage in a growing portfolio of energy related project at SEI. Criteria of importance are ability to work in a knowledge-intense and interdisciplinary organization, capability in interacting with industry and partners. The applicant can be entry level but previous modelling experience will be highly valued.
Duties and responsibilitiesSpecifically, the successful applicants will be expected to, among other tasks:
Essential Qualifications:• Advance degree (Masters) in energy, environmental analysis, engineering, natural sciences, or interdisciplinary with energy qualifications;
Desirable Attributes• Experience of using modelling and/or planning tools and techniques such as LEAP, GAMS, Matlab, or other programming languages used to implementing energy system modelling techniques;
How to apply:Apply online at the bottom of this page. Applications sent via e-mail will not be accepted. Attachments should be in PDF or Word format and should consist of a CV (max 5 pages) and a cover letter (max one page) that includes the names and contact details of three referees.
