Maximilian Todtenhaupt

Two fully funded PhD positions are available at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) as part of the ENERPOL Doctoral Network, funded by Horizon Europe MSCA. The research focuses on the intersection of public and energy economics, particularly the role of households in the green energy transition. Key topics include analyzing energy-related household inequality using granular Norwegian data and quantifying the effects of electricity price subsidies on household behavior and inequality, including impacts on prosumers. PhD candidates will join an international consortium, benefiting from advanced training through summer schools, workshops, cross-national supervision, and both academic and industry secondments. The ENERPOL network aims to generate insights for fair and efficient energy systems, addressing issues such as volatile energy prices, inequality, and household risk. The positions are supervised by Professor Maximilian Todtenhaupt, affiliated with both Leibniz Universität Hannover and the Norwegian School of Economics. Applicants should have a strong background in economics or a related field, with experience in quantitative methods and data analysis preferred. The positions are fully funded, though specific stipend amounts and tuition coverage details are not provided. Interested candidates should apply via the JobbNorge portal. This opportunity is ideal for those interested in public economics, energy economics, and contributing to the green energy transition within a collaborative, international research environment.
