Third-cycle subject: Energy and Environmental Systems – Energy Technology
Humanity has little time to address the urgent challenges presented by climate change. While the EU leads global policy ambition in mitigating climate change, in particular for the goal of achieving climate neutrality by mid-century, the lack of a coherent scientific evidence-base leads to conflicting implementation measures at European and Member State levels, undermining progress.
To address these challenges, KTH is leading an ambitious European project to develop a European Energy and Climate Modelling Forum.
We seek an enthusiastic and ambitious doctoral student who will take on a key role in the project. You will use the existing OSeMOSYS energy system model, OSeMBE to advance practice in the policy-focussed interpretation of energy system model results together with world-leading modelling teams; and organize and participate in regular workshops with officials and stakeholders to identify research questions.
You will be a part of the KTH Department of Energy Technology in the division of Energy Systems. Your supervisors will be Professor Viktoria Martin, and Asst. Prof. Will Usher.
