The Growth Lab at Harvard University is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to spearhead research on green growth, focusing on analyzing supply chains for clean energy technologies and leveraging this data to influence strategic industrial policy.

Project Background:
An important green growth opportunity is for countries to manufacture products in supply chains for clean energy technologies such as solar panels, wind turbines, and electrolyzers. But policymakers often find analyses of these manufacturing opportunities lacking and insufficient to guide policy effectively. This project will draw on analytical approaches from economic complexity, sustainability science and network science to evaluate which parts of which supply chains are most feasible and valuable in different places and assess how countries can use policy to become involved in clean energy supply chains. This project will aim both to apply existing methods and generate new or customized methods to tackle problems related to industrial policy in clean energy supply chains. Developing better analyses of these issues promises to promote better policy design around decarbonization and the economic transition it requires.

Responsibilities:

• Use environmentally-extended input-output databases, life cycle inventory databases, and methodologies from network science, economic complexity, and other quantitative methods to analyze and interpret supply chain data.
• Contribute insights towards economic complexity, structural diversification, and their implications for green growth strategies.
• Employ Python and R programming for data analysis and modeling purposes.
• Support writing publications that document our methods and use cases in policy application.
• Collaborate with a diverse team of interdisciplinary researchers around green economic growth.
• Support mapping of supply chains related to clean energy technologies.

Requirements:

• PhD awarded and interest in problems related to the energy transition, economic growth and industrial development.
• Background in Industrial Ecology, Environmental Engineering, Sustainability Science, Environmental System Engineering, Economics, Economic Geography or a related field.
• Proficiency in Python and R programming languages for data analysis and modeling.
• Familiarity with input-output analysis and network science methodologies.
• Knowledge of databases such as Dun & Bradstreet, Ecoinvent, Compustat, Patstat and Orbis would be helpful.
• Knowledge of theory around economic growth, economic complexity, structural diversification and macroeconomics would be helpful.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Benefits:

• Opportunity to work within a world-class research environment at Harvard University.
• Collaborate with leading experts and policymakers in the field of green growth.
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
• Access to unparalleled resources and opportunities for professional development.

This post is for an extendable one-year contract (it is anticipated that the position would be extended for multiple years.

As an EEO/AA employer, Brown University provides equal opportunity and prohibits discrimination, harassment and retaliation based upon a person’s race, color, religion, sex, age, national or ethnic origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or any other characteristic protected under applicable law, and caste, which is protected by our University policies.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a nonpartisan research and policy institute that advances federal and state policies to help build a nation where everyone — regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ZIP code, immigration status, or disability status — has the resources they need to thrive and share in the nation’s prosperity.

CBPP combines rigorous research and analysis, strategic communications, and effective advocacy to shape debates, affect policy, and inform effective implementation both nationally and in states. It works closely with a broad set of national, state, and community organizations to design and advance policies that promote economic justice; improve health; broaden opportunity in areas like housing, health care, employment, and education; and lower structural barriers for people of color and others in communities that continue to face systemic barriers to opportunity. CBPP promotes policies that will build a more equitable nation and fair tax policies that can support these gains over the long term. CBPP also shows the harmful impacts of policies and proposals that would deepen poverty, widen disparities, and worsen health outcomes.

<a style="box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; overflow-wrap: anywhere; word-break: normal;">Over the next two years,</a> federal and state policymakers face critical fiscal policy questions that get at the heart of where we are headed as a nation — who will get invested in, how will we finance those investments, and will we build toward a country where the economy works for everyone? In 2025, regardless of the outcomes of the elections this fall, policymakers will make a number of consequential policy decisions — from addressing expiring tax and health provisions to deciding who and what we will invest in as a nation — that will have a significant impact on the economy and the well-being of millions of people. CBPP is preparing for these debates now and will be deeply involved in shaping these decisions in ways that promote economic justice and broaden opportunity.

To further this work, CBPP seeks an economist to engage on macroeconomic, fiscal policy, and labor market issues. The ideal candidate will be a strong communicator looking to bring economic analysis to real-world policies and debates that will affect the nation’s future and the lives of millions of people. The ideal candidate will also have experience in one or more of the following areas: macroeconomics, fiscal policy, labor market issues, poverty and inequality, racial equity, housing, and discrimination. This position is an excellent opportunity for an economist who wants to engage deeply and meaningfully in critical policy issues. We are interested in candidates looking to join CBPP on a permanent basis (Chief Economist) or for 18-24 months (Visiting Scholar).

The Chief Economist or Visiting Scholar will be a senior leader within CBPP’s Federal Fiscal Policy team and will serve as an advisor to CBPP leaders, including the President, and as a resource to the entire organization. The Federal Fiscal Policy team analyzes the federal budget, budget proposals, and long-term budget trends. Its tax policy work focuses on revenue adequacy, fairness, racial equity, and tax compliance as well as the impact of tax policies on the economy. It also works on issues related to the federal budget process and its rules, which can have a significant effect on the policymaking process. The Federal Fiscal Policy team includes research assistants who would be available to assist the Chief Economist or Visiting Scholar and mid- and senior-level staff with expertise in budget issues, federal taxes, Social Security and disability policy, and the U.S. territories.

Applicants seeking long-term employment or a term position of <a name="_Int_bndJcPht" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; overflow-wrap: anywhere; word-break: normal;"></a>18 months to two years are welcome to apply. Those hired into a term position would be a Visiting Scholar, while those seeking a long-term position would be the Chief Economist<a style="box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; overflow-wrap: anywhere; word-break: normal;">.</a>

  • The importance of increasing public investment in people and communities, including how investments can benefit the economy overall, improve measures of well-being, and promote equity;
  • The distributional and equity implications of tax and budget policies, including addressing persistent income and wealth inequality across racial and ethnic groups;
  • The economic implications of the nation’s long-term federal fiscal trajectory;
  • The role of monetary policy on the economy;
  • Labor policies such as minimum wage, unemployment insurance, and paid leave;

The University of Rennes is opening a Junior Professor Chair “Behaviors, Perceptions and Societies Transformations” which will begin in the fall of 2024 for a period of 4 years. This Chair will be hosted by CREM research center in economics and management. Following a successful tenure review, the junior Professor will be offered a permanent, full Professor, position at the University of Rennes.

The Chair studies the relationships between behaviors, perceptions, and various inequality dimensions: health inequalities, environmental inequalities or digital inequalities. Beyond the issue of inequalities, the impact of biases and perceptions on individual behaviors is part of the research questions to be investigated.

More details about the research topics and teaching activities of the Chair are available here.

CREM is the most important research center in economics and management in the west of France. It is supported by the CNRS, the University of Rennes and the University of Caen-Normandie. CREM has an infrastructure for conducting experimental research in economics and neuromarketing.
