ABOUT THIS POSITION

The Techno Economic Energy Transition Studies (TES) research group works with an international, multidisciplinary team of social scientists, engineers, and economists on techno-economic policy issues within the energy transition. The research focuses on technical and economic innovations at the energy system level, including networks and markets for electricity, heating & cooling and hydrogen.. This knowledge is used to calculate future energy scenarios and transition paths to underpin the impact of policy choices at an early stage. Are you ready to accelerate the energy and materials transition and build a fully circular economy? Join TNO as a Scientist Innovator.

As a Scientist Innovator you will be part of a team working on various projects in the field of energy market systems. The goal of this work is to support decision-making for a low-carbon energy transition in the Netherlands and Europe. In this position you have an essential role in collecting and assessing technical and economic data on electricity, transport, heating, industry and related technologies; in using these data to conduct research with (optimization) energy system models; analysing and reporting the results for both policy and scientific audiences; translate technical knowledge to understandable, attractive, and convincing stories.
The results of your research will have scientific merits, but will also help government, industry, and other stakeholders to make far-reaching decisions that shape our future society. You will also play a proactive role in initiating new research projects.
