**Your Job**:
The decarbonization pathways that have been embarked upon are increasingly challenging for individual economies. This concerns both the associated decline of the coal industry and the need for technological change in energy-intensive industries such as steel. Great hopes are being placed in the development and expansion of a hydrogen industry. This is expected to have both employment and income effects.
As part of a master's thesis, the effects of the transition from a coal-based to a hydrogen society are to be analyzed based on regions in South Africa. The methodology is to be based on an input-output approach (Gupta et al., 2023; Stadler et al., 2021). The approach should be generalized in such a way that it can also be used for other regions/countries.

Your tasks in detail
- You are part of the Spatial Economics team, which conducts research in the field of economics and social sciences on the transformation of the energy system, and support the research assistants in the following activities:

- You carry out literature research and summarize it orally and in writing
- You research, describe, and analyze regional (economic) data
- You design regional econometric based input-output approaches with our support
- You present your results to the team
- You take part in team meetings and project meetings

**Your Profile**:

- You are completing a Master's degree in the field of economics or in a related field
- Interest in the challenges of the energy transition and its economic consequences
- You have a quick grasp and the ability to analyze and creatively implement complex issues
- You are proficient in the use of statistical and geoinformation software (e.g., Python, R, QGIS)
You have a high degree of team spirit**Our Offer**:
We work on cutting-edge, innovative topics and offer you the opportunity to play an active role in shaping change. We offer you:

- An interesting and socially relevant topic in an interdisciplinary, well-networked project team
