Economic-Technology Analyst: The Joint Global Change Research Institute in College Park MD seeks a full-time researcher with an interest in economic modeling to join a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and economists in our integrated assessment group. Research topics focus on the intersection of climate change, energy, and natural resources. Specific research topics might include energy technology options for climate policy, global policy regimes, biotechnology, agriculture and land-use, the carbon-cycle, energy efficiency, and renewable energy. In collaboration with JGCRI staff, the researcher in this position will take a lead role in the analysis for one or more topics and associated implementation of model enhancements. Elements of this research may include economic analysis, development of new model data sets, use of the integrated model, analysis of model results, and writing papers and reports. This position is ideal for candidates with an interest in applying science, technology, and economic analysis to policy-oriented questions. Some computer modeling experience, particularly economic and technology analysis, is very helpful. While programming is not the primary responsibility of this position, some programming experience is necessary, with experience in object-oriented languages such as C++ or Java useful.

Q0 Environmental Economics
C0 Applied Econometrics

Economic Modeling and Analysis: The Joint Global Change Research Institute (JGCRI) in College Park MD seeks a full-time postdoctoral researcher with an interest in economic modeling to join a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and economists in our integrated assessment group. The researcher in this position will, working collaboratively with JGCRI staff, play a major role in the further development of the Second Generation Model (SGM), a global computable general equilibrium model designed to analyze strategies to reduce carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions. Elements of this position will include economic analysis, the development of new economic model capabilities and associated data sets, analysis of model results, and writing journal articles and reports. The researcher will also have opportunities to participate in ongoing policy analysis conducted by the institute. This position is ideal for candidates with an interest in applying science, technology, and economic analysis to policy-oriented questions. Computer modeling experience, particularly economic and technology analysis, is very helpful.
