(03) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral researcher in peri-urban energy planning and sufficiency

The Urban Energy Systems Laboratory (UESL) pioneers strategies, solutions, and methods to support the development of sustainable, resilient, and equitable urban energy systems. Our work combines technology and policy with systems thinking and practical implementation, always grounded in real-world urban challenges.
 
Within the framework of the EU Horizon project periASTY (“Flexibly adjustable mobility, energy, industry, and governance innovations to improve decarbonisation of peri-urban areas and accelerate their integration in the transition towards climate neutrality”), we are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate how sufficiency (i.e., measures to avoid or reduce resource use while ensuring well-being for all within planetary boundaries) can serve as a lever for transformative peri-urban energy planning. Focusing on the Sisslerfeld Living Lab as a testbed for innovative mobility and energy solutions, the project couples sufficiency thinking with renewable energy community planning, developing methodological innovations that bridge quantitative modeling and qualitative approaches.
