<b>Employment Opportunity at International Institute for Applied
Systems Analysis (IIASA)<o:p></o:p></b>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">IIASA was established in 1972 as an independent
international research organisation based in Austria. IIASA's
interdisciplinary research focuses on finding solutions to the
complex, interconnected global problems confronting humanity
ranging from achieving global food security to transitioning to
sustainable energy systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">IIASA’s <u>Transitions to New Technologies
(TNT) Program</u> is inviting applications for
<u>a Research Scholar (Analyst)</u> position to conduct a
technology assessment of Nexus technologies as contribution to a
larger interdisciplinary research project on identifying
Integrated Solutions for the joint sustainable management of
Water, Energy, and Land (<a
href="http://www.iiasa.ac.at/web/home/research/researchProjects/Nexus_Solutions.html">IS-WEL</a>). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As part of a new Institute-wide research
initiative that aims at an improved scenario modeling and options
identification in the Nexus of resource interdependencies between
water, energy, and land, the TNT Program is planning to conduct a
comprehensive technology assessment of nexus technologies, i.e.
technologies that are key determinants of water, energy, and land
resource interactions. Examples of Nexus technologies include
inter alia, irrigation and hydroelectricity systems, power plant
cooling, seawater desalination, or large-scale biofuel production.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Research Scholar will lead the quantitative
technology assessment of the historical development of selected
key Nexus technologies as input to scenario and modeling and
sustainable options analysis.<o:p></o:p></p>
