Since we view the transition as a challenge at the system level we investigate five main aspects on that level: bio-based economy, industrial energy, materials and the circular economy, carbon capture and storage, energy efficiency, and renewable electricity and smart grids for the built environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:18.75pt'><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#3B3B3B'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:18.75pt'><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#3B3B3B'>We welcome applications from excellent educators and scientists in any of these areas, but we are particularly, but not exclusively, looking for candidates in the areas of energy systems modelling and the circular economy.
