The Energy Studies Institute (ESI) is a research institute at the National University of Singapore seeking to advance the understanding of energy policy issues by conducting independent research and analysis. We are looking for researchers to join a multi-disciplinary team carrying out research projects on a range of energy issues that are of concern to Singapore and the region.
The Institute is looking to recruit a specialist in carbon pricing analysis at the rank of Research Associate. The appointed staff will operate under the responsibility of the Institute Head and work closely with all members across each of the institute’s divisions. Candidates are expected to be highly familiar with climate change and decarbonisation issues, and ideally had formal training in economics, public policy, finance or a closely related area. An understanding of Singapore's economic system and local work experience is desirable. Particularly, the appointed candidate is also expected to have a sound awareness of current and emerging trends in carbon pricing around the world and carbon taxes within Singapore.
Job Description
The specific area of work will depend on the priorities of the institute at any given point in time. In the near term, to support ongoing and expanding future research within the institute, the appointed candidate will be expected to commit to analysing various issues surrounding carbon pricing, the carbon offset market, climate finance and the renewable energy market. Examples of priority areas include:
Empirically explore how carbon pricing and climate finance impact economic competitiveness of firms and industries in Singapore.
Understand the speed and extent of adoption of internal carbon pricing practices, and other company-level climate finance related practices (including but not limited to ESG reporting).
Research how other countries have implemented carbon pricing schemes and what their impacts have been.
Support in conducting statistical and econometric analyses.
The above list is not exhaustive; moreover, at any given point in time the institute undertakes multiple projects in parallel and opportunity will exist to participate in a variety of workstreams that align with your interests.
Job Requirements
Possess a Master's degree in economics, public policy, finance or other related fields, with specific application to energy, environmental or climate issues, or possess a Bachelor’s degree in economics, public policy, finance or other related fields with at least 2 years of relevant work experience.
Demonstrated experience in quantitative data analysis and an adequate understanding of various econometric methodologies and CGE (computable general equilibrium) modelling.
A good contemporary understanding and interest in energy and environmental issues.
Relevant working and practical experience in industry or government agencies in the area of energy and environment in Singapore would be highly valuable.
Track record of publications in reputable journals would be an advantage.
Able to work independently and as part of a team.
