Work Context
The successful candidate will be based in Grenoble at the GAEL laboratory (Laboratoire d'Economie Appliquée de Grenoble (GAEL)), a joint research unit between the CNRS, INRAE, the University of Grenoble Alpes, and Grenoble INP, comprising approximately 70 staff members. GAEL's research focuses primarily on issues of innovation and sustainable consumption, particularly in the energy and agro-industrial sectors. The research is organized into three areas: Consumption, Energy/Environment, and Innovation.
The candidate will join the Energy/Environment area. Research conducted within GAEL's Energy/Environment department aims to understand and evaluate the impact of policies in the fields of energy and climate. The team develops high-level research in applied and academic economics and enjoys high visibility at the national, European, and international levels.
The successful candidate will report to Sandrine Mathy, CNRS Research Director at GAEL, and will interact with economists from CESAER (Dijon): Hélène Bouscasse, INRAE Research Fellow, and Marie Breuillé, INRAE Research Director.
