This postdoctoral position at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) offers an exciting opportunity to join the Innovation Lab for Utilities on Sustainable Technology and Renewable Energy (ILUSTRE) within JADS, focusing on the social network modeling of clean energy acceptance and support in the Caribbean, particularly among the Curaçao population. The project adopts a social science approach, leveraging machine learning and social network analysis (SNA) to analyze and model the evolving opinions and willingness to adopt clean energy technologies among stakeholders. The successful candidate will extract topics, opinions, and social networks from documents such as newspaper articles using advanced machine learning methodologies. Subsequent analysis will employ statistical social network models to understand the dynamics of opinion formation and the co-development of attitudes toward energy transition. The project may also involve developing agent-based models to simulate how these networks can be leveraged to facilitate the adoption of clean energy in the Caribbean context. The position is embedded in a vibrant, interdisciplinary research environment, with opportunities to collaborate with a large team of professors, PhD and EngD students, and to participate in teaching within JADS. TU/e is renowned for its strong ties to industry and commitment to both fundamental and applied research, providing a supportive infrastructure and a diverse academic community. Applicants should have a PhD in Computational Social Science, Sociology, Machine Learning, or a related field, with proven expertise in statistical and/or agent-based network modeling. Strong English communication skills and a collaborative mindset are essential. The position offers a full-time, two-year contract with a competitive salary (scale 10: €4,241–€5,538 per month), year-end and vacation bonuses, and a comprehensive benefits package including training, childcare, sports facilities, and support for international staff. To apply, submit your application online with a cover letter, CV (including publications and references), and a list of five best publications. The vacancy remains open until filled, with a formal deadline of December 20, 2025. For further information, contact Dr. Claudia Zucca or Prof. Roger Leenders.
