                Dear colleagues - the below opportunities for PhDs and ECRs (up to 3 years
<br>post-graduation) may be of interest. Note that the funded opportunities
<br>(secondments and travel bursaries) require applicants to be based at a UK
<br>institution, but the energy policy masterclass for Social Science & Humanities
<br>scholars is very much open to all.
<br>
<br>---------------------
<br>
<br>Energy policy opportunities for PhDs and Early Career Researchers from the
<br>Social Sciences & Humanities
<br>
<br>Energy-PIECES
<br>The
<br>Energy-PIECES (Energy Policy Insights from
<br>Early Career Events and Secondments) project is co-ordinated by Anglia Ruskin
<br>University's Global Sustainability
<br>Institute (GSI),
<br>alongside The University of Cambridge's Centre for Science &
<br>Policy (CSaP). It is funded by the UK Energy
<br>Research Council's (UKERC) Whole Systems Networking
<br>Fund, and complements
<br>ongoing work in the EU SHAPE ENERGY project.
<br>
<br>Energy policy secondments
<br>We are advertising six 6-week paid energy policy secondments for Social
<br>Sciences & Humanities PhD and early-career researchers. Eligibility includes
<br>being UK-based and within 3-years of PhD graduation (or a current PhD
<br>researcher). The deadline for applications is Friday 16 November 2018, and the
<br>secondments are set to take place during January-March 2018. Detailed guidance
<br>on the secondment application process, setup, and foci, can be found
<br>here.
<br>
<br>Our secondments are:
<br>
<br>*       Secondment #1: 'Options for a new model of energy industry governance'
<br>(UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy
<br>[BEIS])
<br>
<br>*       Secondment #2: 'The social dimensions of moving away from gas cookers
<br>and hobs' OR 'How can transition research inform heat decarbonisation policy?'
<br>(UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy
<br>[BEIS])
<br>
<br>*       Secondment #3: 'The role of public energy advice in transitioning
<br>towards a low carbon, decentralised energy system with lower levels of fuel
<br>poverty' (Energy Saving Trust)
<br>
<br>*       Secondment #4: 'How local authorities can support and promote
<br>citizens' involvement in energy systems' (Energy
<br>Cities)
<br>
<br>*       Secondment #5: 'Exploring the socio-economic impact of nationally
<br>significant energy infrastructure projects' (EDF
<br>Energy)
<br>
<br>*       Secondment #6: 'Achieving inclusive rural electrification: policy and
<br>regulatory options for improving the effectiveness of mini-grids in developing
<br>countries' (Practical Action)
<br>

<br>
<br>Masterclass:
<br>In partnership with the Royal Geographical Society's Energy Geographies
<br>Research Group, the GSI and CSaP are
<br>hosting a free energy policy masterclass on Monday 10 December (0930-1700,
<br>followed by networking drinks) in Cambridge. The masterclass will be
<br>interactive and put the spotlight on the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH)
<br>as an energy policy evidence base, which are too often overlooked in favour of
<br>more technical energy research disciplines.
<br>
<br>A number of travel and accommodation bursaries are available for UK-based
<br>attendees; the deadline for applications is also 16 November 2018. We
<br>anticipate the event to be popular and so encourage applying for the bursaries
<br>and/or registering for a place early. More details (including registration
<br>form and preliminary programme) available
<br>here.
