PhD Position in Marine Renewables: Energy and Societal Impacts under Climate Change

TU Delft is offering a four‑year PhD position in the Marine Renewable Energies Lab, part of the Department of Hydraulic Engineering. The candidate will develop high‑fidelity energy system models and coupled scenario pathways using Integrated Assessment Models and CMIP climate data. Work includes creating new modules for Energy System Modelling, performing econometric analyses, and integrating results into the European Digital Ocean platform. The role also involves coordinating project milestones, publishing research, presenting at conferences, and supporting MSc supervision and teaching activities. Applicants must be able to work both independently and within an interdisciplinary, international team.
