The ideal candidate should preferably have a good knowledge of the interrelated dynamics of energy systems and a good knowledge of the industrial sector and its processes. He/she should be familiar with the analysis of literature and datasets to detect relevant information in the field.

The activities will be carried out entirely or mostly at the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano, in close collaboration with the division of emission projections, integrated modelling and indicators of ISPRA. In particular, the candidate will work within the energy scenarios area of the RELAB group, currently made up of three junior researchers, two PhD candidates and two senior researchers with different backgrounds. The area analyses possible evolution of energy systems over medium to long-term time horizons by using and developing energy system models and hourly simulation tools and by performing data analyses. It studies critical issues such as the integration of large shares of renewables into future energy systems, the role of more efficient technologies and innovative conversion processes, possible developments in end-use electrification and their systemic implications (e.G. Electric vehicles, heat pumps). The analyses aim at providing indications on how to achieve national and international strategic targets, such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.The working group collaborates and interacts with important stakeholders (private actors, research bodies, public institutions) involved in the sustainable energy transition at national level.
