Subject: [macro-energy-systems] Post Doc Position at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver Canada) on Integrated Modelling
Hi All,
I’ve reposted my post doc position due to an unexpected departure. Details on my group website here: https://www.sfu.ca/fas/research/fas-research-labs/delta-e/opportunities.html.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will help advance Canada’s energy transition towards an equitable net-zero future. The fellow will develop the CLEWs-C2070 integrated Climate Land, Energy and Water systems model for Canada (80% of duties). The CLEWs-C2070 project will model different pathways to 2070 to test Canada’s climate and SDG commitments, evaluate indigenous governance implications, and bring together decisionmakers to address policy priorities.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will lead development of CLEWs-C2070 energy systems model, integrating existing land and water models into a single energy systems model. Specific duties include:
· Modelling the interactions between bioenergy, hydrogen and carbon removal options
· Assessing pathways in hard to decarbonize sectors (such as heavy industry), including land and water use implications
· Exploring future scenarios under different technological and policy uncertainty
The fellow will be responsible for the energy and the model integration for CLEW-C2070 and will work with colleagues from UBC (forest and agriculture models), SFU (Indigenous governance) and Carleton (Stakeholder Engagement) to successfully build the model and disseminate policy outcomes.
Additionally, the fellow will dedicate 20% of their appointment to project administrative activities, including coordinating project team communications and meetings, maintaining project documentation and related paperwork, etc.
