The Postdoctoral Program is an exceptional opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research and foster interdisciplinary collaboration in the dynamic field of energy economics, policy, and technology. As a member of the Program, you will have the privilege to delve deep into energy markets, evaluate the efficacy of policy interventions, and actively contribute to the development of economic models that pave the way for a sustainable future. Through hands-on engagement with real-world projects, you will work alongside esteemed scholars and industry experts, benefiting from their expertise and expanding your own intellectual horizons.
Choose your research program from our five core programs:

A solid understanding of modeling techniques, economics, the latest trends in development and demand, as well as geopolitics is essential. Additionally, it involves an understanding of the entire supply chain, from production to refining, and the behavior of consumers.
4. The Climate & Sustainabilityprogram is seeking a postdoctoral researcher who has a strong background in climate change policy and regulation, as well as a good understanding of the economics associated with climate change. The candidate should also be familiar with economic climate policy instruments and carbon market tools and mechanisms.
