About this position
Master Thesis Opportunity at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Institute of Climate and Energy Systems – Jülich Systems Analysis (ICE-2), Energy System Transformation team.
The thesis topic is Policy Instruments for the scale-up of Direct Air Capture (DAC) of Carbon Dioxide. The project focuses on negative emissions, carbon dioxide removal, climate policy, and the economics of DAC deployment. You will review existing, planned, and proposed policy instruments for DAC, then build a cash flow model in Python to assess how policy support affects the cost of CO2 capture and the economic feasibility of DAC. The work also compares support needs for first-of-a-kind (FOAK) and nth-of-a-kind (NOAK) systems to understand how policy requirements may change as the technology scales.
Eligibility highlights: very good academic performance in a master’s program in engineering or economic disciplines; experience with Python and Microsoft Excel; fluency in English; strong interest in energy technologies, climate policy, and carbon dioxide removal; ability to work independently and analytically.
Funding and conditions: the thesis is paid with appropriate remuneration, runs for 6 months, and is based in Jülich, Germany. The institute also notes a possible path to a doctorate after the thesis if qualifications and funding are available.
How to apply: submit an online application through the job posting portal. For questions, use the provided contact form or career portal. The position is advertised until filled.
