The Environmental Economics research group focuses on answering empirical questions with a high societal urgency, such as those related to global climate change. To this end, the research group uses sustainability analyses (techno-economic and life cycle analyses) and applies these to the development and implementation of clean technologies with the aim of supporting policy-making and accelerating the decarbonization of our society. The group is now looking to expand its profile towards the empirical modeling of decarbonization at system-level. The group publishes in leading economic and interdisciplinary journals and is involved in several major international research consortia with funding from EU framework programs and Belgian and Flemish funding sources, among others. It collaborates with leading research institutions around the world. Currently, the group consists of 4 professors and 30 researchers and affiliates. The complexity of environmental topics requires multidisciplinarity. Therefore, the research group is closely embedded in the CMK, collaborating on multidisciplinary projects.
You have experience in quantitative, empirical modeling of decarbonization at system-level (as opposed to detailed modeling of specific cases). Experience with modeling the decarbonization of the energy system is a plus.
Your teaching assignment includes (partly) duties as a coordinating lecturer. You should, therefore, have a command of the teaching languages Dutch and English. For English, we expect level C1 from the start of your appointment. For Dutch, level C1 must be achieved within five years. If necessary, we will provide you with the necessary language support for this.
We offer an appointment as a lecturer in the tenure track system during 5 years. This will lead to an immediate permanent contract as a senior lecturer, if the Board of Directors favorably assesses your performance based on previously set public grading criteria.
The selection procedure consists of a preselection based on application file, an introductory interview and an in-depth interview (with assignment).
An assessment center can be added to the selection procedure. After each stage the candidates are downselected.
