OPEN PHD POSITION ON ENERGY SECURITY
======================
Central European University (CEU) welcomes applicants for a PhD position in the area of energy security and future energy systems. A successful candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. Aleh Cherp, in close collaboration with the Energy Policy Research Group (EPRG) and Center for Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Policy (3CSEP) to pursue the Doctor of Philosophy degree at the Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy.

The research agenda will be developed to closely match the candidate’s interests and capacities and to advance policy-relevant knowledge on present and future national and global energy security challenges including under sustainable energy transitions. Of particular interests might be topics such as energy security discourses and the relationship between global energy projections and national energy realities. These issues may be studied with respect to entire energy systems or particular sectors (of which nuclear energy is of special interest).

CEU provides a full tuition waiver as well as a living stipend for 3 years for all PhD students. A variety of research and travel grants as well as support for a “study abroad” year are also provided to successful doctoral students. In addition, most PhD students affiliated with 3CSEP and EPRG participate in international research projects with CEU faculty.

A candidate for this position must hold a Masters degree relevant to Energy or Environmental studies from a good university of international standing. He or she should have demonstrated academic excellence as well as passion for research and commitment to academic success. Good writing abilities as well as advanced computer and quantitative analytical skills are an advantage.

Central European University is an English-language graduate institution founded by George Soros in 1991. It is accredited in both the United States and Hungary, and offers English-language Master's and doctoral programs. Located in the heart of Central Europe -- Budapest, Hungary -- CEU has developed a distinct academic and intellectual focus, combining the comparative study of the region's historical, cultural, and social diversity with a global perspective on good governance, sustainable development and social transformation. As part of its educational, research, and civic engagement activities, CEU attaches particular importance to scholarship relevant to public policy.

Inquiries about the position can be made to Prof Cherp (Che...@ceu.hu) while applications can be submitted to the university website (http://www.ceu.hu/admissions/apply) by January 24th, 2011.
