Yesterday was our official NEONreseach.nl KICK-OFF!
tagline: NEON 'lights the way to zero emission energy and mobility'
Here are 5 PhD positions on the program.
Apply if they appeal to you and you want to work in a multi-disciplinary team (thread)
vacancy A: NEON research: Energy demand and new market models
jobs.tue.nl/en/vacancy/the…
vacancy B: NEON research: Technical standards to accelerate the energy transition
jobs.tue.nl/nl/vacature/th…
vacancy C: NEON research: Modeling the energy and mobility transition (2 positions)
jobs.tue.nl/nl/vacature/th…
vacancy D: NEON research: Modeling climate impacts
jobs.tue.nl/nl/vacature/th…
Please read the website carefully and use the website to apply. Please don't use email since your application might get lost and it is a lot of extra work for us. But you can ask me/us questions using email (see site).
NEON research accelerates the energy transition with a focus on solar, wind, electric mobility, MAAS and smart grids and using a team with many different competencies that will work closely together with each other and with companies and governments.

Every Friday we come together in Eindhoven (virtually for now) to learn from each other and motivate each other. We end the week / start the weekend with music and drinks.
Most important are the 35 PhDs.
They work closely with the principal investigators

But of course people of the 20 partner companies are also welcome and every month the Friday is a mini-conference with presentation to and from partners.
The idea is also to use these presentations to eventually create a global transition course.

Every year we produce a report and (more importantly) an online model that shows cost effective pathways to a renewable future. At the kick-off a member of the Dutch parliament already indicated that he and his colleagues would LOVE to use that.
Let's not exaggerate: a lot of the practical work within NEON will still be writing papers that are primarily relevant for a specific domain or discipline. But the explicit purpose is that the PhDs together create societally relevant pathways that accelerate the transition.
That's the kind of "purpose driven movement" you would become part of when you get a PhD position within NEON. And we aim to grow further so we can make a BIG difference! Please apply when that appeals to you!
And usually I don't spam on Twitter but it is *really* important that we find the smartest and most motivated people for NEON.
So I would like the tagged & following people to consider a retweet. (You can simply mute this discussion if you don't want to see notifications!)
