Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom University of Groningen Full time

The University of Strathclyde's Centre for Energy Policy (CEP) is seeking talented PhD candidates to join its research team. This opportunity involves a range of funded PhD projects that align with CEP's current research agenda.

CEP investigates the economy-wide and societal outcomes of different pathways and actions to reach net zero. Successful candidates will contribute to expanding the evidence base and providing policy and decision-makers with the necessary evidence to effectively address the challenge of transitioning to a prosperous, sustainable, and more equitable net-zero economy in the UK.

We are interested in supporting the development of methodological approaches, including computable general equilibrium (CGE) modelling involving applied scenario development, systematic review of existing evidence, system dynamics and other energy systems modelling approaches, and/or analysis that supports wider public policy decision making through an understanding of the political economy.

This role offers the opportunity to work on a growing team of researchers, academics and knowledge exchange professionals at the University of Strathclyde's Centre for Energy Policy (CEP). Estimated salary: £26,000 - £30,000 per annum.
