Research Programme on Climate Change Modelling and Policy
Two junior research fellow positions
The Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), an Italian research institute that carries out research on sustainable development, invites applications for two junior research fellowship positions in its Programme on Climate Change Modelling and Policy. The main area of research is integrated assessment models.
Position 1. The required candidate is expected to have a good general background in applied and theoretical economics, possibly with previous experience in computable general equilibrium modelling. He/she will work in a modelling team dealing with economic impacts of climate change, in several dimensions: sea level rise, energy demand, tourism, etc. Variants of the GTAP-E model are used as a common platform for the simulations exercises. Both static and dynamic model versions are developed.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in economics or be near its completion, and experience in integrated climate modelling and general equilibrium models. Duties will be performed at the FEEM offices in Venice, Italy.
Position 2. The required candidate is expected to have a good general background in applied and theoretical economics, possibly with previous experience in dynamic modelling. He/she will work in a modelling team dealing with economy, energy and climate change. A background in energy engineering will be considered as an appreciable asset. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in economics/energy engineer or be near its completion, and experience in modelling. An outline of the modelling done so far is available at http://www.feem-web.it/witch/ . Duties will be performed at
the FEEM offices in Milan, Italy.
The candidates will interact with researchers of different nationalities, and will write and present scientific papers. Part of the activities are realized in the context of European research projects.
Very good written and spoken English is essential for these positions.
FEEM offers an international and interdisciplinary environment, the possibility to develop an innovative research programme and a world-wide network of research institutions in the field of climate change. A full range of the activities of FEEM and its Programme on Climate Change Modelling and Policy is available at http://www.feem.it/.
Appointments may begin immediately and will last at least one year. The candidates are expected to join FEEM for no less than one year. Gross salary will be based on qualification and working experience (25,000 to 35,000 Euro/yearly). Higher salaries may be considered for particularly experienced candidates.
Applicants should send a detailed curriculum vitae with a full list of publications and at least one letter of recommendation to: Monica Eberle, monica.eberle@feem.it.
