Duesseldorf, Deutschland Forschungszentrum Jülich Vollzeit

The EU aims to be climate-neutral by 2050 - an economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. The action plans to reach this goal is being undertaken both at national and municipal level, mostly independently. The thesis topic is aimed at comparing the national climate action plans with the municipal ones, to identify misalignments. Such investigations greatly aid decision makers, at local and national governments, in the refinement of these plans.

**Your Job**:
The thesis work can be broken down into the following work packages:

- An assessment of the number of regions that have not developed a SECAP, lack a detailed SECAP and have submitted SECAP with sufficient details, in each of the 27 EU countries
Documentation of key goals, namely emissions and energy demand in different sectors, from the SECAPs for the year 2030
-

WP2 - Improve the existing spatial disaggregation methodology - mainly through collection and processing of new datasets. Outcome:
WP3 - Comparison of the keys goals of spatially disaggregated national plans with the local ones to answer the following research questions:

- In which sectors do the plans align or misalign?
- How do the misalignments differ in different countries?
Any other interesting question that might arise during the work

**Your Profile**:

- Very good academic record and currently enrolled in a Master’s program in engineering, computer science, data science or a related field of study
- High interest in data processing and analysis and producing interesting plots using Python
- Very good Python (or other) programming skills
- Motivation to work on the topic and ability to work independently and analytically
- High degree of self-organization and time management skills
- Good written and spoken English skills

**Our Offer**:
You will be contributing to an ongoing EU project - LOCALISED, in a team of experts with different scientific backgrounds. Upon completing this Master's thesis, you will have achieved proficiency in Python programming and significantly enhanced your presentation skills. We offer you a high degree of flexibility, insights into the processes of a leading scientific institute and the opportunity to work on highly relevant environmental and energy topics. Further we offer our students:

- Collaboration in a diverse, highly motivated, and international working group in one of the largest research institutions in Europe
- An excellent scientific infrastructure and intensive supervision
- Professional technical equipment for remote work and the opportunity to work 100% from home
- Flexible working hours as well as a reasonable remuneration
Ideal conditions for balancing work and private life, as well as a family-friendly corporate policy

The position is initially for a fixed term of 6 months.
