IIASA: Researcher in Integrated Assessment Modeling

The Integrated Assessment and Climate Change (IACC) Research Group  within the IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment (ECE) Program is recruiting a Researcher in Integrated Assessment Modeling with an emphasis on integrated modeling of energy systems and material stocks and flows.

The ECE Program at IIASA hosts one of the world’s leading global Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM) teams, and seeks to deepen the understanding of rapid, just, and feasible systems transformations toward environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Interdisciplinary teams within ECE use these and complementary methods to study trade-offs and synergies between multiple policy priorities and objectives, typically across multiple sectors and scales (global, regional, national and subnational). ECE’s scientific outputs inform international and national policy efforts related to climate change (e.g., implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement) and sustainable development (e.g., pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals).

We seek a strong candidate who can support advancing the integration of material stocks and flows into the MESSAGEix integrated assessment modeling framework as a key aspect of this broader research agenda. The Researcher will contribute to developing modeling methods and data to study the characteristics of transitions towards GHG neutrality.
