Master Thesis: Cross-european Adaptation Measure

vor 3 Monaten


Jülich, Deutschland Forschungszentrum Jülich Vollzeit

The EU's regions are developing climate adaptation strategies to tackle the localised impacts of climate change. However, adaptation efforts at the regional level can vary widely in scope and effectiveness. The thesis topic is aimed at evaluating the feasible adaptation measures, at a local scale.

**Your Job**:

- WP1 - Literature review on existing adaptation measures: Documenting the measures along with the costs of implementation
- WP2 - Integration of measures into an existing measure optimization model
- WP3 - Use the model and data to analyze the regional impact of the measures on effective adaptation to climate change

- Very good academic record and currently enrolled in a master’s program in natural science, computer science, engineering or a related field of study
- Very good Python (or other) programming skills
- Good written and spoken English skills
- High interest in climate change-related topics
- You are highly motivated to work on the topic and able to work independently and analytically
- You have a high degree of self-organization and time management skills

**Our Offer**:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We support you in your work with:
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
