Within the I-Tésé Institute, the "Energy Systems and Society" team investigates issues related to energy sufficiency, socio-technical challenges, the role of innovation processes, and their integration into society. This work is carried out within the framework of projects, with both institutional and academic partners. The institute now wishes to develop work involving behavioural/experimental economics.

The job position will be based at Saclay (20 km South of Paris).
