Dear Council Members and NMO Secretaries,
IIASA's Energy Program is looking to recruit a motivated and talented young researcher to join a team analyzing a wide range of issues surrounding energy economics and climate change.
In brief: The successful applicant's research will focus on modeling energy use among the global poor with the MESSAGE model and its extensions. The purpose of the research is to inform international policy efforts, such as the United Nations Sustainable Energy for All initiative (http://www.se4all.org/), that aim to improve health, gender equality, education, and economic development by improving the access to and affordability of modern energy services in developing regions.
Applicants should have (or be close to completing) a Master’s degree in economics or in science (engineering, physics) coupled with some economic background, at a minimum. Proficiency with programming and/or statistical software such as GAMS, R, Python, STATA, or SAS is preferred.

Please assist us in soliciting as many suitable applications as possible by distributing this information to all potentially interested parties.
Best wishes from Laxenburg,
Alia
