PhD in Climate Sciences

The Industrial Ecology Program (IndEcol), Department of Energy and Process Engineering (EPT), at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has an opening for a PhD position on Climate Change Mitigation in the Maritime Sector. The position will be part of the broader work within the Norwegian R&D centre for Maritime Energy Transition (FME MarTrans) on climate change mitigation in the transport sector. The objective of the research is to identify mitigation strategies in the interface between the maritime and energy sectors. The work includes collaborative opportunities with the Energy, Climate, and Environment Program at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis(IIASA). The research will build on the existing MariTeam framework and its integration with MESSAGEix to investigate mitigation options for the sector.
