ENERGY ECONOMIST
***Application Deadline: September 17, 1999*** http://iisd.ca/
IISD's corporate vision is "Better living for all - sustainably". Its mission is to champion innovation, enabling societies to live sustainably. The Institute collaborates with partners around the world to produce internationally recognized research, and uses global electronic communications linkages to disseminate its results.
IISD will be the Canadian leader in a Canada - India partnership to examine how government budgeting instruments and processes can be modified to increase energy efficiency and move towards sustainable development. The Indian partner is the Tata Energy Research Institute (TERI). Other components of the project involve examining the Clean Development Mechanism in the Asian context, and a training program for Indian middle managers, including a month spent in Canada and the U.S.
The economist will spend about two thirds of his or her time conducting research on the topics of energy policy and green budget reform in Canada and working with the team at TERI conducting the equivalent research in India. This will include writing research reports and making presentations regarding progress and results in the project.
The other third of the time will be spent on project management. This involves maintaining close ongoing communications with TERI and other partners, to ensure that projects are being conducted as planned and that budgets are being met. The regular financial and narrative reports to CIDA will be the responsibility of the economist.
The position requires a graduate degree in economics, with an emphasis on energy economics or public finance. In addition, demonstrated research and writing skills are essential, along with project organization and management experience. International experience with the developing world (particularly India) will be an asset.
Compensation is in the range of $45,000 to $50,000 plus a competitive benefit package. The successful candidate will be offered a three-year contract.
IISD is committed to equal opportunity. Candidates must have appropriate employment authorization to work in Canada. Although we appreciate receiving all applications, only those candidates we wish to interview will be contacted.
