We are looking for researchers to join a multi-disciplinary team carrying out research projects on a range of energy issues that are of concern to Singapore and the region.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The Energy Economics Division is looking to recruit up to 3 economists at the rank of Research Associate or Research Fellow. Staff recruited to these positions will operate under the responsibility of the Division Head and work closely with all members of the Energy Economics Division.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">This will initially be a one-year position, with the possibility for renewal subject to satisfactory performance and budget.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Job Description</b></p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Develop background research for project proposals, primarily for submission to local government agencies, under the guidance of and in collaboration with existing Research Fellows and Senior Research Fellows.\n\t<ul>\n<li>This may require attending various planning meetings with representatives from government agencies, local industry, or other organizations.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>Contribute to development of project presentations and reports, and provide underlying research to support academic activities. Where suitable, this will result in co-authorship on articles submitted to academic journals.</li>\n<li>Support selected administrative tasks, including the organising of seminars and workshops, and other tasks as assigned by the Division Head, such duties being commensurate with rank and experience.</li>\n<li>A modest proportion of time will be set aside for self-guided research to support personal development.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The specific area of work will depend on the priorities of the institute at any given point in time. In the near term, some focus areas for the energy economics division will include:</p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Green/sustainable economic growth and reviewing economic growth models that capture/reflect circular economy dynamics.</li>\n<li>Smart energy systems for urban economies, including smart cities, smart grids and industrial organization for related industries such as the data centre industry.</li>\n<li>Financial economics of energy, climate and sustainability e.g. green bond market dynamics, investment market activity (investors evolving investment preferences), development finance for energy related projects, carbon pricing etc.</li>\n<li>Techno-economic pathway analysis for emerging technologies (e.g. Hydrogen).</li>\n<li>District cooling.</li>\n<li>Energy efficiency benchmarking.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The above list is far from exhaustive, yet indicates that in joining our team you will have the opportunity to engage with and to some extent choose between a variety of workstreams that will align with your interests.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Qualifications</b></p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Possess, or be near to obtaining a PhD Degree in the field of economics.\n\t<ul>\n<li>This may full under any branch of economics, though given the nature of work within ESI and the position we require to fill, applicants with empirical focus are preferred.</li>\n<li>Applicants with a strong theoretical orientation are welcome to apply, but must be willing and able to support the primarily empirical project work of the Energy Economics Division.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>Published in reputable economics journals, have papers under review, or papers ready for submission.</li>\n<li>A specialism in energy, environmental, or resource economics is not a pre-requisite, so long as the candidate can display a strong acumen or desire to work in one or more of these areas. Though candidates with one or more of these specializations will be preferred.</li>\n<li>An interest and desire to deepen your understanding of the economics of energy systems, climate change and related market and policy issues.</li>\n<li>Relevant working and practical experience in industry or government agencies in the area of energy and environment would be highly valuable.\n\t<ul>\n<li>Ideally this is within Singapore, or the South East Asia region, given the importance of these regions to work undertaken within ESI.</li>\n<li>Applicants with no regional work experience will still be given full consideration.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>Relevant research experience on the ASEAN region would be an advantage.</li>\n<li>A strong written and oral command of the English language is essential.
