PhD, PostDoc, or senior researcher position on long-range national energy scenarios at the University of Geneva, Switzerland

Renewable Energy Systems group, led by Prof. Evelina Trutnevyte, at the University of Geneva is looking to fill PhD, PostDoc or senior researcher positions in the field of national energy scenarios. Located at the Faculty of Science and at the interfaculty Institute for Environmental Sciences, Renewable Energy Systems group has three strategic research themes. First, it uses mathematical modeling and technology assessment tools in order to inform transition to renewable energy systems at all spatial scales, from neighborhoods and cities to countries and continents. Second, the group works with multi-disciplinary methods for improving quantitative long-range energy foresight for decision making under deep uncertainty. Third, the group searches for system-level socio-technical energy solutions that are techno-economically feasible, environmentally desirable, as well as acceptable and realistically implementable in society. The scientific work in the group regularly involves interactions with practitioners outside academia, including policy makers, stakeholders, and the wider public.
