The CoDeF project is an EU Marie Sklodowska-Curie PhD training network focused on the topic of consumer energy demand flexibility. This research project provides a fantastic opportunity for researchers interested in the energy transition. It aims to integrate knowledge of engineering (e.g., mechanical and electrical engineering) and social sciences (economics, sociology, and anthropology) in a doctoral training programme across 8 European research institutions. The CoDeF consortium brings together a multidisciplinary research team from across Europe to train experts in consumer energy flexibility and develop key skills to deliver a just and sustainable energy transition. Consumer energy flexibility is being rapidly acknowledged as a crucial tool as Europe undergoes the energy transition to climate neutrality and energy security.

The CoDeF project is now actively seeking applicants for the PhD positions hosted by the project partners. Applicants should not have been living over the past 12 months in the country where they will be hosted. As part of the PhD training, candidates will have the opportunity to carry out a secondment in at least one other institution for 3 months.  The individual positions are described below.

The posts will become available at different times from July 2024 depending on the project.  Applicants should apply to the individual posts they are interested in, according to the individual post specifications.
