Summary
A post-doctoral research associate is sought to contribute to a significant interdisciplinary research programme on low-carbon transport and energy systems as part of the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The post-holder will co-lead the development of tools and methods to investigate the evolution of flexible mobility demands over time, place and key road transport modes (cars, vans, e-bikes), assessing the implications for electricity network operation of increasing electrification of vehicles. The post-holder will develop scenarios, enhance and deploy systems modelling frameworks, and deliver policy-focussed insights to stakeholders, including academia, government and the private sector to support decision-makers in the delivery of an affordable net-zero transport-energy transition.
The post-holder will work as an active member of UKERC Phase 5 Theme 2 “Operating a highly renewable and largely electrified energy system”, specifically co-leading research on Work Package 2.2 “Cross-sector and cross-scale coevolution and interoperability”. This workstream will be done in collaboration with researchers at Cardiff University, University of Birmingham and Imperial College London. UKERC is an independent whole systems energy research centre funded by UK Research & Innovation to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition to a net zero energy system and economy.
