This position is expected to be followed by a one-year placement with an industrial or policy partner, for practical implementation of the academic findings.
Key Requirements
The ideal candidate will be highly motivated and have a PhD, or close to completion, or commensurate experience in computable general equilibrium (CGE) modelling, with a solid understanding and experience of the supply chain for mineral-based construction materials.
The candidate should demonstrate proficiency on data analysis, data construction, programming and CGE modelling. The candidate should also be able to produce high-quality academic papers for publication in economic and multi-disciplinary journals.
The candidate should demonstrate, by track record peer-review publications, state-of-the-art knowledge of quantitative economic modelling using advanced CGE modelling tools. The candidate should have at least three years of practical experience in global, national, or regional CGE modelling development and database construction/extension.
A solid knowledge and practical experience of the supply chain for mineral-based construction materials is highly desirable.
