Research Associate / PhD Student (m/f/x), for three years, 39.83 hours/week, TV-L E13
The research focus of the Chair of Environmental/Resource Economics and Sustainability (Prof. Dr. Andreas Löschel) is on environmental, climate and energy economics as well as sustainable human behavior. Methodologically, the chair deals with modelling as well as experimental and empirical work. A large part of our work is funded by third-party projects.
The PhD student (m/f/x) will focus on the incentives and behavioral dimension of this topic: how to incentivize consumer flexibility through behavioral change and design effective demand response interventions. In particular, the PhD student (m/f/x) will use behavioral experiments and other tools of economic analysis to understand what behavioral and structural conditions can facilitate/hinder household engagement with demand response contracts, customization and automation of energy flexibility. This PhD position is one of 15 positions funded under the MSCA Doctoral Network (DN) Consumer Energy Demand Flexibility in Electricity Use (CoDeF). More information about the project can be found here: https://sites.google.com/view/mscadncodef/home. Your supervisor will be Prof. Dr. Andreas Löschel and you will join the PhD Program in Economics at Ruhr-University Bochum. You will also become part of the Center for Environmental Management, Resources and Energy, a hub that incorporates business administration, economics and legal perspectives and advances the inter- and transdisciplinary social-ecological research in conjunction with other faculties at the Ruhr-University Bochum.
Scope: full-time
Duration: fixed-term, 3 years
Start: at the earliest possible date
Apply by: 2026-03-16
Your tasks:
- Research using behavioral experiments to incentivize consumer flexibility
- Publication (also as co-author)
- Co-supervision of bachelor and master theses (in the context of the project)
- Participation in CoDeF activities
- Academic self-governance
Your profile:
- IMPORTANT: In line with Marie Slodowska-Curie Action requirements, eligible applicants to PhD programs in Germany must not have lived in the Federal Republic of Germany for more than 12 of the last 36 months.
- Master’s degree in economics or related discipline (must have been awarded by the agreed-upon starting date of the PhD)
- Strong quantitative and analytical skills. Very good written and spoken communication skills in English
