WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORThe CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) is looking for accomplished researchers to join our team.

We encourage applications from international scholars working on climate change and environmental issues.

We encourage applications from scientists or senior scientists with experience in quantitative methods in environmental and economic disciplines. The candidates will join an international and interdisciplinary team either in Milan or Venice, Italy, to strengthen research in our core topics and promote new research lines addressing environmental and climate change issues that matter to society.

ABOUT USCMCC Foundation is a cross-cutting scientific research center on climate change and its interactions with the environment, society, the world of business, and policymakers. Our work aims to stimulate sustainable growth, protect the environment, and develop strategies for the adaptation and mitigation of climate change. CMCC's core objective is to conduct cutting-edge science, to train the next generation of scientists at both national and international levels, and to be a beacon for climate modelling.

CMCC pursues fundamental and applied science with utmost scientific integrity, prioritizing data-driven science and providing data, information, and research results that can support informed public debate and decision-making processes. To achieve climate research objectives at the highest international standards, we invest in training all our talents and strive to create a workplace where everyone can excel.

At CMCC you will find a strong, professional environment. Join an inclusive community that values diversity, where every voice is heard and respected. Help foster a culture of innovation and societal change, where individuals from all backgrounds can thrive and succeed.

RESPONSIBILITIES We are looking for researchers to strengthen the research capacity of our institute. Main topics include:

Economic and social repercussions of the clean energy transition

Material and resource requirements of climate transition strategies

Physical and socio-economic assessment of climate impacts and adaptation strategies

Modeling of biodiversity and socio-economic interactions

Integrated land-water-energy sustainable strategies

Impacts and solutions of regional and local pollution

Robust decision making to design adaptation strategies

To contribute to these topics, researchers will integrate their skills with the Institute's analytical capacity. We have established computational models of economic, environmental, and climate systems, promoting a plurality of methodological and disciplinary approaches. We also have consolidated statistical, econometrics, and growingly machine learning capabilities.

We expect mid-career researchers to contribute to these research topics, advance our assessment methods, and proactively contribute to the Institute's fundraising effort. Researchers will work on internally and externally funded research projects, helping coordinate scientific activities and supervising post-docs and PhD students.

REQUIREMENTS We are looking for two or more motivated researchers with one of the following skills:

Computational modelling using economic frameworks, such as GAMS, Julia, or JuMPMultiscale land-water-energy modeling

Clean energy systems and markets

Geo-spatial statistics and econometrics of climate and environmental hazards

Biodiversity modeling and valuation

Ex-post/ex-ante evaluation of climate and environmental policies

Robust optimization and decision analysis under deep uncertainty

Depending on the profile, we expect candidates to have the following qualifications:5+ years of experience since PhD in economics, applied mathematics, engineering, physics, or any related fields.
