Lecturer in Energy Transition Decision Support

UCC wishes to appoint to the role of Lecturer in Energy Transition Decision Support. UCC’s School of Engineering and Architecture is a research leader internationally in the area of sustainable energy research and education. The School leads the sustainable energy research within UCC Futures Sustainability Institute, which aligns and supports the research of more than 500 scholars and provides research leadership and direction to 230 researchers nationally within MaREI, the Research Ireland research centre for energy climate and marine. The School is therefore particularly pleased to announce as a further commitment to the energy transition and climate action, the establishment of the Lecturer in Energy Transition Decision Support, with a view to provide a substantial contribution to Energy Transition Decision Support. This new academic post is made possible by the generous support of EirGrid, Ireland’s electricity transmission system operator that is responsible for ensuring that Ireland has a reliable, secure, affordable, and sustainable supply of electricity – essential to power communities and drive the economy, while implementing the Government’s targets for decarbonisation. The Lecturer in Energy Transition Decision Support will be a global thought leader of international repute who will bring prestige not only to the School and University, but also to EirGrid, already a recognised leader in sustainability in the energy sector in Ireland.
