Postdoc Integrated heat-electricity solutions in Local Energy Communities
Offer DescriptionThis research position is part of the Interreg NWE funded ACCU project, which aims to organise local integrations of local renewable electricity generation with (collective) heating solutions in Local Energy Communities (LECs). It aims to overcome technical (e.g. (seasonal) disbalances and grid congestion), regulatory, social (e.g. capabilities for initiating and organizing LECs involving various local stakeholders), and financial challenges (e.g. viability of business cases for novel socio-technical configurations).As postdoc researcher, you will focus on social-organizational solutions. This involves, but is not limited to, citizen engagement, community building, local governance models, and exploring local needs, challenges, and opportunities in diverse community contexts in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. In addition, the research involves gathering insights from both academic and grey literature and from real-world experimentation beyond the ACCU project. Finally, you will actively engage with the LECs involved in the ACCU project, to contribute to implementing and monitoring socio-organizational solutions, as well as how they relate to other socio-technical solutions.Where to apply WebsiteRequirementsSpecific RequirementsWe are looking for an enthusiastic, curious and creative candidate with:

Researchers in the TIS group study these processes in a systemic, transdisciplinary, and transnational perspective. The research focus of TIS covers both short-term processes (innovations) and long-term, fundamental processes (transitions), and addresses multiple aspects of the innovation journey – invention, innovation, diffusion, appropriation, governance, policy intervention along with local and global impacts on society. Many of the TIS research projects are strongly embedded in practical environments and involve co-creation and an action research approach.
