Post-docs and PhD on land use impacts of solar and wind energy

Prof. Eric Lambin seeks three post-doctoral researchers and a PhD student for his new ERC Advanced Grant on “Land use implications of the renewable energy transition”. The successful candidates will conduct innovative research on the geographic, economic, social and policy factors that constrain the spatial expansion of solar and wind energy in various geographic contexts in Europe. The research project aims to understand land use decisions by key stakeholders regarding the deployment of solar and wind energy production in rural and urban landscapes. The ultimate goal is to develop a realistic representation of feasible and sustainable pathways to accomplish a renewable energy transition, accounting for various trade-offs.
