Fantastic panel! Some key takeaways: 1. Bridge gap b/w least cost models and real world, as we increasingly rely on them for policy 2. Best solution could be an inferior one in terms of cost, but achieve better real world solutions 3. Spatial resolution of analysis is imp

Was very fortunate to be invited to the Macro-Energy Systems workshop this week. A big thank you to all the organizers! It was great to meet and learn from so many folks in the #MacroEnergySystems community.

Hi, I'm recruiting a postdoc to work on multisector energy models at the MIT Energy Initiative Please share with anyone you think would be interested We're looking for folks with a background in optimization. Experience of energy system modelling is a plus careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/clie…

The Sustainable Engineering Initiative NYU Tandon has multiple postdoc openings on the topic of decarbonizing chemical manufacturing, spanning computational and experimental topics. Miguel Modestino and I are looking to hire researchers across three projects -a thread:
