In the near term, to support ongoing and expanding future research within the institute, the appointed candidate will be expected to commit to analysing various issues surrounding carbon pricing, the carbon offset market, climate finance and the renewable energy market. Examples of priority areas include:
Empirically explore how carbon pricing and climate finance impact economic competitiveness of firms and industries in Singapore.
To understand the speed and extent of adoption of internal carbon pricing practices, and other company-level climate finance related practices (including but not limited to ESG reporting).
Researching into how other countries have implemented carbon pricing schemes and what their impacts have been.
Support in conducting statistical and econometric analyses.
The above list is not exhaustive; moreover, at any given point in time the institute undertakes multiple projects in parallel and opportunity will exist to participate in a variety of workstreams that align with your interests.
Job Requirements
Possess a Master's degree in economics, public policy, finance or other related fields, with specific application to energy, environmental or climate issues, or possess a Bachelor's degree in economics, public policy, finance or other related fields with at least 2 years of relevant work experience.
Applicants should have demonstrated experience in quantitative data analysis and are expected to have an adequate understanding of various econometric methodologies and CGE (computable general equilibrium) modelling.
A good contemporary understanding and interest in energy and environmental issues.
Relevant working and practical experience in industry or government agencies in the area of energy and environment in Singapore would be highly valuable.
