Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team at the University of Groningen. The successful candidate will be part of the Integrated Research on Energy, Environment and Society group (IREES) within the Energy and Sustainability Research Institute Groningen (ESRIG).

The PhD project focuses on demand management solutions to mitigate the critical material impacts of the energy transition. This involves modeling dynamic demand for critical materials in multiple energy decarbonization and transportation electrification scenarios, identifying primary technological and societal factors that drive changes in demand patterns for critical materials, and developing integrated approaches that satisfy energy and mobility requirements while minimizing the need for critical materials and their environmental footprints.

The PhD learning experience includes multidisciplinary data analysis, modeling and empirical research, along with soft skills such as teamwork, high-impact writing, visual and oral presentation, networking, and career development.

The University of Groningen is a dynamic and innovative institution of higher education offering high-quality teaching and research. The Faculty of Science and Engineering is the largest faculty within the University, offering first-rate education and research in a wide range of science and engineering subject areas.

We expect you to have a MSc degree in Science or Engineering discipline, preferably Environmental, Geographical, Geological, Energy, Chemical, Mechanical, and Earth System. You should also have proficiency in both writing and oral presentation skills in English, strong team player skills, and general data collection, modeling and analytics, and programming skills (R/Python/Matlab). Knowledge of artificial intelligence methods is a plus.

We offer a salary of € 2,770 gross per month in the first year, up to a maximum of € 3,539 gross per month in the fourth and final year for a full-time working week. A full-time position (1.0 FTE) is also offered, along with a holiday allowance of 8% gross annual income and an 8.3% end-of-the-year allowance.

The starting date is negotiable and preferably not later than December 2024. A PhD training program is part of the agreement, and you will be enrolled in the Graduate School of the Faculty of Science and Engineering.
