The stipend is part of the research project “Getting the data right” for climate footprints, a 4-year research project to provide a globally unique virtual lab and database tool for quantitative assessment of the climate effects of decision alternatives, popularly speaking ‘a climate footprint generator’, and a mechanism to ensure its continuous maintenance.
The PhD study is anticipated to cover the following aspects of large global input-output models for climate footprints:
- Uncertainty specification for raw data
- Uncertainty propagation
- Uncertainty presentation
We expect that you:
- Have a relevant Master’s degree in statistics, economics, data science, or engineering
- Have experience with programming (python)
- Have experience with complex quantitative modelling, e.g., ecosystem, economic, or social modelling
