The next two years will be crucial for formulating and setting the global and European climate policies for the period following 2012. This is partly due to the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen as part of the UN climate negotiations, which will take place at the end of 2009. Quantitative cost analyses, long-term policy strategies and possible reduction measures, all play an important and supporting role for setting these policies. As a result of an assignment, given to us by the European Commission, we are looking for the right person to contribute to these analyses.
Your profile
You are academically educated (natural and environmental sciences, economy) and you are able to contribute to the analyses of global climate policies, by using existing computer models. You will need some years of proven experience in working with mathematical models and conducting quantitative analyses, preferably in the fields of energy and climate mitigation. Interaction with other research institutes and European policymakers will be part of your work. In addition, it is important that you have good editorial and communicative skills, and that you are able to work in a team.

We offer a gross salary, depending on education level and experience, of up to € 4.294,82 a month (BBRA scale 11), on a full-time basis (36-hour week), excluding 8% holiday pay. It concerns a temporary position for the duration of 1,5 years.
