Project Description
The Energy Systems Evaluation Unit of the Institute, comprising about 30
staff, supports the development, implementation and monitoring of the
European Energy Technology Policy – a key pillar for an integrated Energy
and Climate Policy for Europe -, through its lead function in SETIS, the
information system of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan
(http://setis.ec.europa.eu).
The ESE Unit is looking for a highly motivated and dynamic colleague to
contribute to the activities of SETIS in support of the European Industrial
Initiatives, Wind in particular, and on new developments for the marine and
geothermal energy sectors in the frame of the EU’s Strategic Energy
Technology Plan.
The tasks will include:
• Collection of data on the technical performance and costs of wind
turbines and farms
• Collection and analysis of data on investments on wind energy in
R&D and demonstration in Europe and worldwide.
• Development, quantification, monitoring and reporting of key
performance indicators for the European Wind European Industrial
Initiative
• Analysis of the European potential for wind, marine and geothermal
energy & monitoring and reporting on global technological
developments on wind energy
The drafting of reports and scientific publications are an integral part of the
required tasks. Such reports include the wind energy chapters of the SETIS
Technology Map and Capacities Map and the continuous update of the wind
energy pages of the SETIS website (http://setis.ec.europa.eu ).
This fellowship requires dynamism and initiative and it offers a number of
varied and interesting tasks in a friendly and well integrated Unit to a
motivated, flexible and reliable colleague. Joint Research Centre

Qualifications/Expertise needed
University degree in mechanical or energy engineering or a related
discipline complemented with a Ph.D. degree or a minimum 5 year research
experience after the 1st university degree giving access to PhD studies in the
area of assessment of wind energy technologies. Good knowledge of
English.
Good drafting skills and synthesis ability, particularly in English, supported
by a publications list are essential; any other languages would be regarded as
an additional asset.
We look for a person with strong interest on energy issues, who will have a
good aptitude of taking initiative, developing new concepts and be a strong
team player
