PhD student: Model-based Integrated Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies Posted on Jul 22, 2013 Application Deadline on Aug 18, 2013 Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (Research Institute) Job Opening Details Type of Position: Graduate / Research Assistant JEL Classification(s): C, Q Date of appearance on Jul 22, 2013 URL for further information:http://www.pik-potsdam.de/phdcdr Contact Details Nicole Reinhardt Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research [email protected] Location of Job opening Potsdam Germany envisaged starting date October 2013) The successful applicant will be involved in integrated assessment of climate change. This research activity is led by the Research Domain Sustainable Solutions chaired by Prof. Dr. Ottmar Edenhofer, who also serves as IPCC co-chair of Working Group III on Mitigation of Climate Change. She or he will become a PhD candidate under the formal supervision of Ottmar Edenhofer, Professor at Technische Universität Berlin.The successful candidate will assess a number of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Technologies, including direct air capture and enhanced weathering of rocks, and implement them in the energy-economy-climate model ReMIND. She or he will apply an integrated assessment framework that couples an energy systems model with a global land use model. The work will comprise an in-depth analysis of the trade-offs and synergies between mitigation options and CDR technologies in various policy and scenario contexts.A background in Economics, Engineering, Physics or a related field with a strong interest in inter-disciplinary research and team work is required.We expect candidates to have quantitative training and interest in applied modelling. A strong interest for inter-disciplinary climate related research is required. Good programming and analytical skills are a requirement. Experience with R and economic modeling (preferably with GAMS) is an advantage. Candidates should be proficient in English, and be able to demonstrate the potential for excellence in research.The Potsdam Institute for Climate Change Impact Research seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
