Ireland: PhD Candidate in Environmental Economics, Emissions Trading and Climate Change, University College Dublin

The Environmental Policy Research Group within the School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Policy, UCD Dublin (http://www.ucd.ie/gpep/gpepinfo/) is a leading centre of research into the integration of environment and development. One strand of our work focuses on understanding how to mobilize markets to conserve environmental endowments and control green house gas emissions. We are seeking a PhD candidate in Environmental Economics to join our team.

JOB DESCRIPTION:
The successful candidate will contribute to the research project “The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and the Greening of Technology”, funded by the Irish Environmental Protection Agency. This project undertakes the analysis of the effects of the EU Emission Trading scheme on the technology available to firms across the European Union, with special emphasis on Irish firms. Through the use of an array of econometric techniques and a variety of different types of data, it proposes to investigate all phases of the process of technological change: invention, innovation, and diffusion. Identifying the key elasticities and the fundamental drivers of the process of technical change, this project aims at providing a fundamental contribution to inform the current debate on the review of the EU ETS and the post-Kyoto policy alternatives. This study will also contribute to an ex post analysis of the pilot phase of EU ETS, in which study UCD Dublin is in partnership with MIT and Caisse des Dépôts, Paris.

TERMS
The position provides a 3-year scholarship covering tuition fees, conference and related travel, together with an annual stipend of €17,500. Additional coursework in the Department of Economics and elsewhere will be undertaken depending on the interests, skills and needs of the candidate. The research will take place in an excellent working environment and a very positive ethos and social atmosphere.

JOB QUALIFICATIONS
The candidate should have successfully completed a Master’s degree in Economics or a related area, have a solid background in statistical/econometrics techniques, and a good competence in written and spoken English.
