Offer Description
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 or 2 within UCD School of Business.
The decarbonisation of the Energy System will play a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and help mitigate the impacts of Climate Change. The technical and societal challenges inherent in decarbonisation are set to be enduring challenges of the mid-21st century and ones that will require a whole of society approach, encompassing academia, industry, government, and citizens.
NexSys is an All Island of Ireland Science Foundation of Ireland Strategic Partnership Programme focussed upon the transition to a net zero carbon energy system. It is a unique partnership bringing together a multidisciplinary research team, industry, and policy makers to tackle fundamental research questions to be addressed as part of the transition to net Zero. Hosted by UCD Energy Institute, NexSys brings together academics from nine institutions across the Island of Ireland (UCD, TCD, DCU, ESRI, Maynooth University, UCC, NUI Galway, Ulster University and the Queen's University of Belfast) to work together to meet the unprecedented scale and complexity of the challenges associated with the energy transition.
This project is part of the Transport stand and aims to demonstrate innovative optimisation algorithms and technologies to achieve net Zero in the transport sector through a green fleet serving last mile operations. The research will deliver and evaluate optimisation models. The successful candidate will analyse the integration of electrified last mile operations as a transport system service.
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
