We are looking for an individual with research experience broadly in the area of energy and environmental systems engineering. Individuals applying for this position should have an interest and some experience in integrated resource planning and modelling focused on energy demand and supply. We are developing (e.g., greenhouse gas emissions, $/tonne of CO2) of energy demand and supply sectors for a particular jurisdiction. The individual should have some experience working with relevant energy forecasting and planning models (e.g., LEAP, MARKAL).
The candidate is expected to carry out research on assigned project(s). The candidate will have an opportunity to develop and initiate new research activities in relevant areas and supervise junior researchers. In addition, the candidate will have an opportunity to teach relevant courses in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta based on their background.
The successful candidate will join an active group of researchers in the area of energy and environmental systems engineering supported by a large consortium made up of industry and government. The position is initially for two years and may be extended. The remuneration is commensurate with qualifications. The position is available immediately and the applications will be reviewed as received. Due to the high volume of applicants, only those of interest will be contacted by our office.
Desired Qualifications: The candidate should have a PhD in a relevant engineering discipline with an emphasis on energy systems.
