(08) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc summary/title:– Postdoctoral or Senior Researcher in Innovation and Diffusion of Carbon Dioxide Removal
You are expected to conduct research toward a net-zero economy, focusing on the innovation, scale-up, and diffusion of carbon dioxide removal (CDR). While your work includes understanding technological advancements, your research should address broader organizational, institutional, or technological questions to comprehensively tackle climate challenges, for example:
- How can we build innovation ecosystems that facilitate the development of CDR technologies?
- Which policy designs enhance – or hinder – the adoption of CDR?
- What are effective governance structures for carbon markets to support CDR?
- How can entrepreneurship & finance contribute to scaling CDR technologies?
- Which role could CDR play in companies’ climate strategies?
Your profile fits particularly well with our ongoing research if you have worked on novel CDR methods with a technology aspect such as direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS) or bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS).
Your work is scientifically rigorous and at the same time relevant to industry and policymakers. An integral part of your work consists of advising PhD and master students. By supporting some of the group’s diverse teaching activities, you are directly contributing to SusTec’s innovative approach to sustainability and helping bridge research and learning. Further, you will have the opportunity to contribute to shaping the group’s strategy, involve yourself in crafting funding proposals and gain experience in leading research projects and teams.
