UCD has two good PhD opportunities with Marta Talevi and Lisa Ryan as supervisors. The positions are in behavioural, environmental, and energy economics. Marta and Lisa are very good and (importantly) nice. Alumni from our MSc would be competitive.</div>

I was wondering if you or anyone you know might have any Master's students who'd be a good fit for the following Marie-Curie PhD positions at UCD (note that there's a requirement to
<u>not</u> have lived in Ireland for more than 12 months in the past three years):</div>
<div style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Prof. Lisa Ryan and I are recruiting two PhD students to join the department of Economics and the Energy Institute at University College Dublin, Ireland, beginning September 2024 (or as soon as possible thereafter). Application deadline is
<b><u>10 August 2024</u></b>.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
The PhD positions are part of a Marie Slodowska-Curie doctoral training network on
<b>consumer energy demand flexibility</b> (CoDeF) and aims to integrate knowledge of social sciences and engineering in a doctoral training programme across 8 European research institutions. A total of 15 PhD positions in economics, engineering, energy systems,
sociology and anthropology are opening across the network. These positions provide a fantastic opportunity for students interested in the energy transition. More details here:

Note that each partner university is recruiting separately for different positions. At UCD we are looking for candidates with a background in Economics (especially behavioural, environmental, and energy economics), who will join our flagship PhD programme in
Economics and work on a thesis on the decision-making process of householders to participate in demand response actions and the impact of those actions to increase the flexibility of electricity load in the residential sector. More detailed description of
the two PhD positions at UCD (with related application details) can be found at these links:</div>
