PhD Stipend in European Sustainable Energy and Market Governance
4 days ago
At the Technical Faculty of IT and Design, Department of Sustainability and Planning (PLAN), a PhD stipend is available within the general study programme Planning and Development. The stipend is open for appointment from 1 May 2025 or soon hereafter.
The PhD position is part of the research project ‘Green Market Making: Sustainable Energy and the Single Market in Europe (GMM)’ led by Associate Professor Troels Krarup, who will also be the main supervisor of the PhD project. GMM is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark and aims to develop the concept of green market making and empirically analyze the synergies and conflicts that emerge from the intersection between Europe’s sustainable energy transition and the Single Market framework.
The PhD will be responsible for studying how major energy companies in France and Denmark with potentially ‘dominant’ or ‘gatekeeper’ market positions navigate European anti-trust regulation. Focus should be on how companies strategically navigate advantageous investment conditions in light of the EU competition paradigm’s regulations on ‘market power’, ‘dominant players’ and ‘gatekeepers’. In addition to the analysis of companies, the PhD will work together with Troels Krarup on how EU institutions use their market-making mandate in the pursuit of sustainable energy transition. The PhD is also expected to complete a long-term research stay at a university abroad (to be specified) and will have a limited teaching obligation at The Department of Sustainability and Planning (PLAN).
The following qualifications in particular will be weighted positively in the assessment of candidates and should be highlighted in the application:
- A background in sustainable design, planning, sociology, political science, geography, or related disciplines
- Training/experience in working with social or political theories and theory-driven projects
- Training/experience in qualitative methods, particularly interviewing and document analysis
- Experience with energy systems and/or competition policy
- Proficiency in written and oral English and ideally also working knowledge of Danish and/or French.
The application should not exceed three pages (excluding CV, letters of recommendation and other appendices) and should include ideas and suggestions about how the candidate would approach the study of companies and contribute to the broader theoretical ambitions of the GMM project.
You may obtain further information, including the full project description, from Troels Krarup by mail at or phone (+45 42 58 88 31) concerning the scientific aspects of the stipend.
PhD stipends are allocated to individuals who hold a Master's degree. PhD stipends are normally for a period of 3 years. It is a prerequisite for allocation of the stipend that the candidate will be enrolled as a PhD student at the Technical Doctoral School of IT and Design in accordance with the regulations of Ministerial Order No. 1039 of August 27, 2013 on the PhD Programme at the Universities and Certain Higher Artistic Educational Institutions.
