PhD or post-doc position at Chalmers University

POLET is recruiting either a PhD student or a Postdoctoral researcher to examine the interplay between energy policies. Come join us!

The cost of renewable technologies has plummeted making them the cheapest electricity source in many markets. Yet wind and solar power still grow too slowly compared to what we need for achieving the climate targets. Is this because of market failures, technology shortcomings or political obstacles? A new researcher position tackles this question through examining how the interplay of energy technologies, economics and policies either drive or constrain the growth of clean energy technologies. The PhD student or Postdoctoral researcher will use a combination of empirical research, statistical analysis, and computational experiments as part of an interdisciplinary research with wide international collaboration.

We are recruiting either a PhD student or a Postdoctoral researcher to examine the interplay between energy policies - the economics of energy technologies and their growth. In particular, how is the growth of new energy technologies shaped by investment, profitability, technological innovation and policy support in different countries?
