About this position
The Policy & Sustainability (PASU) lab at EPFL invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow to join a new SNSF-funded project on managing a just transition to net zero.
The project combines applied and theoretical research on the economics and politics of sustainable development, with a strong focus on how decarbonization policies affect workers, regions, and public preferences. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to three main strands of work: measuring economic and job vulnerabilities to the clean energy transition at the individual and regional level using labor market surveys and large language models, collecting original survey data on policy preferences in response to the negative effects of decarbonization, and conducting quantitative impact assessments of just transition policies implemented around the world.
At PASU, the successful candidate will join a research environment focused on policy-relevant questions at the intersection of climate, sustainability, energy, and labor markets. The role includes co-overseeing project implementation with the PI, leading work packages aligned with the candidate’s expertise, and mentoring PhD students involved in the project.
The position is based at EPFL and offers the opportunity to work in a team-oriented lab environment, pursue independent research, and connect with international organizations, private-sector actors, NGOs, and state authorities in Europe, the US, India, and elsewhere.
