Dear colleagues,
The PhD position is part of a Marie Slodowska-Curie doctoral training network on consumer energy demand flexibility (CoDeF) and aims to integrate knowledge of social sciences and engineering in a doctoral training programme across 8 European research institutions. A total of 15 PhD positions in economics, engineering, energy systems, sociology and anthropology have been recruited across the network. More details here: https://www.codef-dn.eu/home .
Note that each partner university is recruiting separately for different positions. At UCD we are looking for candidates with a background in Economics (especially behavioural, environmental, and energy economics), who will join our flagship PhD programme in Economics and work on a thesis on the decision-making process of householders to participate in demand response actions and the impact of those actions to increase the flexibility of electricity load in the residential sector. More detailed description and how to apply can be found in the attachment or at this link.
Eligibility: In accordance with Marie Slodowska-Curie Action guidelines, candidates must not have lived in Ireland for more than 12 months in the last three years. The successful candidacy is subject to the approval of the UCD Graduate Research Board and subsequent admittance to the PhD programme.
Given the tight deadline, I'd really appreciate it if you could circulate this opportunity within your networks and to specific students or researchers who may be interested.
Many thanks,
Prof. Lisa Ryan
