There are open positions for post doctoral research associates and PhD studentships available at the Departments of Engineering and Architecture on a new Energy Efficient Cities Initiative (EECi) at University of Cambridge. This initiative aims to strengthen the UK's capacity to address energy demand reduction and environmental impact in cities through cross-disciplinary research in building and transport technologies, district power systems, and urban planning. The prospective students will be part of the EECi multidisciplinary team of researchers in developing system-level models for environmental impact assessment and techno-economic feasibility of their individual systems/technologies, which are then integrated into a model of a large urban area.
