CMCC Position Technologies for Climate Transition Division Director
Deadline: July 31st, 2024
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
The European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) stands at the intersection of environment and economics, evaluating sustainable and socially inclusive strategies to combat climate change and other major environmental challenges. The institute's main areas of work include evaluating strategies towards net-zero emissions and beyond, conducting quantitative analysis of the socio-economic ramifications of environmental and climatic hazards, and informing policy design to promote environmental and social sustainability.
EIEE, traditionally comprising the ECIP and SEME divisions, is now launching a new division: the Technologies for Climate Transition (TCT) division, aimed at enhancing expertise in the development and evolution of technologies to combat climate change. The TCT division will evaluate the role of technological progress from a holistic, systemic viewpoint, integrating well with the empirical and modeling capabilities of EIEE, such as agent-based and integrated assessment modeling and data science.
The Division Director will be responsible for developing disciplinary competencies on the representation and modeling of technological climate strategies based on meso-scale approaches that can bridge global to local resolutions. Furthermore, the Division Director will have to contribute to the development of the CMCC research Program on 'predicting socio-economic impacts' which will be centered at EIEE. This will involve applying multi-scale modeling approaches that integrate physical and economic modeling at CMCC. We expect the Director to drive significant growth within the TCT Division over the next few years and to collaborate with the other EIEE divisions to advance modeling activities at CMCC.
