Descripción del empleo
The incorporation of the selected person would be made to the Electrical Storage department of the research center.
The selected candidate is expected to perform the following tasks:
- Developing an attractive research agenda in the field of LCA and techno-economic analysis
- Creation of open source LCA models of energy storage and hydrogen technologies, linked to renewable energies
- Integration of LCA with energy system modelling
- Use of data monitored in pilot plants for sustainability indicators
- Providing recommendations to decision-makers based on modelling results
- Collaborations with experimental researchers from CIIAE and other research centres
- Acquisition of competitive funding, both private and public, e.g. PhD students and postdocs.
- Successful collaboration with universities, research institutes and companies at national and international level.
- Successful orientation of PhD, postdoctoral and master students, i.e. fulfilling their own requirements
- Writing publication as first author (e.g. 1 article per year in a high-ranking journal)
- Project management and project administration (internal and external), also towards the department and CIIAE
Challenges: There are a large number of available technologies, actors, e.g. households and industry, as well as intrinsic uncertainty which makes LCA and techno-economic modelling complex. There is also a lot of data generated, which makes the assessment of outcomes important for providing policy recommendations challenging.
