PhD Stipend in European Sustainable Energy and Market Governance

At Aalborg University, a leading institution in research and education, we offer a unique opportunity to pursue a PhD stipend within the general study programme Planning and Development.

The stipend is part of the research project 'Green Market Making: Sustainable Energy and the Single Market in Europe (GMM)', which 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.

We are seeking a highly qualified candidate to study how major energy companies in France and Denmark with potentially 'dominant' or 'gatekeeper' market positions navigate European anti-trust regulation. The successful candidate will have a strong background in sustainable design, planning, sociology, political science, geography, or related disciplines, as well as experience in working with social or political theories and theory-driven projects.

The PhD position involves analyzing 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 Associate Professor Troels Krarup on how EU institutions use their market-making mandate in the pursuit of sustainable energy transition.

The PhD stipend includes a salary of approximately 45000 DKK per month, reflecting the competitive compensation package offered by Aalborg University. The stipend is normally for a period of 3 years and requires the candidate to 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.

The following qualifications will be weighted positively in the assessment of candidates:

  • 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
