Requirements

We look for highly motivated candidates, with an excellent background in Engineering, Physics, or Economics (with a Master degree or equivalent), with an outstanding academic record, capable of working autonomously and as part of a team. Research will be carried out in English, so a very good knowledge of it is required. In addition, knowledge of Spanish is strongly recommended, given that it is the working language of the Institute and the way to communicate results to the Spanish audience. We will also consider knowledge of economic analysis, optimization, and energy systems, as well as data analysis, computer programming, and communication skills. 

Application materials must be sent to pedro.linares@comillas.edu, and must include: a cover letter, CV, complete academic transcripts for undergraduate and graduate studies, language proficiency certificates, and three letters of reference from professors of graduate courses or supervisors of research. Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue until the position is awarded.

What do we offer?

The term of appointment is four years, subject to an annual evaluation. We offer a competitive, full-time contract, including health insurance, partial tuition waiver, and other benefits. Researchers will work in an international, fun, and stimulating environment. They will also benefit from opportunities to attend international academic conferences, to enjoy research stays at prestigious international centers, and from access to an extensive international research network, industry connections, and policy audience.
