Junior Research Fellows / Doctoral Candidates (m/f/div)

The Net Zero Lab is a newly founded independent research group led by Dr. Benedict Probst at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition. The goal of the Net Zero Lab is to accelerate the deve­lop­ment of green technologies that are crucial for replacing fossil fuels in industry as well as of techno­logies that remove CO₂ directly from the air. The Net Zero Lab will explore the economic deter­minants, incentives, and implications of green innovation.

The Net Zero Lab, located in the department Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research (headed by Prof. Dietmar Harhoff, Ph.D.), invites outstanding and motivated junior researchers to apply as

• Corporate climate goals and carbon markets (e.g., net zero goals, voluntary carbon market, use of carbon credits, carbon removal)
• Public policy (e.g., econometric policy evaluation, innovation policy, international carbon trading schemes [e.g., Article 6, CORSIA], green industrial policy)

It provides access to an outstanding research infrastructure including large-scale databases (e.g., startup and patent data). The working language of the department is English.

Positions

Salary is roughly equivalent to a 65% position (+10% allowance, if applicable) under the German TVöD E 13 payment scheme. Financial support is provided for the full dissertation period of up to four years. Doctoral candidates do not have teaching obligations.

Qualifications

Doctoral candidates are expected to have a strong quantitative background. They should hold a master’s degree in e.g., economics, management, statistics, computer science, the natural sciences, engineering, or other related fields.

Application process

The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.

Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.

The application deadline is rolling. Interested candidates apply through the online recruiting tool.
