2. Research Professional, Energy Emphasis
ISER seeks candidates for the position of Research Professional with a
background and expertise in economics, energy, and public policy. There
is an ongoing need for economic and policy analysis of energy projects,
issues, policies, programs, and technologies. This position will work
jointly with ISER and the Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP) on
complex technical analyses. This position is the primary research
associate working with faculty on energy economics and policy. The
analyst helps to define the research agenda; pursues external funding;
negotiates scopes of work; uses advanced tools to produce complex
quantitative analysis including model adaptation, design, and
development; works on projects to determine the economic viability and
sustainability of energy systems; leads financial and economic analysis
of specific projects as well as emerging and existing technologies
independently or as part of a larger research team; analyzes and
communicates results of evaluation by writing reports, papers, and
presentations for both internal and external audiences; and coordinates
economic-focused research projects.
Applicants must have a Master's degree in business, economics, or a
related field. In lieu of a degree, equivalent experience in these
fields is acceptable. Equivalent experience is defined as working with
economic analysis and modeling of energy solutions including conducting
complex cost-benefit analysis; program and project management; and 2-3
years working in the energy field in Alaska.
