Post-doctoral position in Environmental Economics, Energy Conservation and Sustainability.
UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability
The UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability is offering a post-doctoral position in Environmental Economics, Energy Conservation and Sustainability.
Relevant disciplines are economics, business strategy and organizational behavior, but others can be considered. Preference will be given to candidates with strong quantitative analytical skills.
The candidate will take a leading role in a study funded by a grant from the California Air Resources Board on Behavioral Responses to Real-Time Individual Energy Usage Information. In this study we will undertake an experiment where we implement electricity monitoring technologies, private real-time information displays, public information posting, and incentive programs in 150 graduate student family apartments at the University of California Los Angeles. This will be done to determine if and to what extent, real-time, easily accessible energy usage information and financial or other incentives results in significant reductions in energy consumption.

The post-doctoral position will be located in the newly established center for corporate environmental performance.

Starting date is summer 2011. Applicants should hold a PhD and strong demonstrated potential and interest to conduct research. The annual stipend will be $60,000 per year including benefits. The position will be for 15 months.
