deliver work that matters, your journey starts here! The Department of Engineering and Public Policy (EPP) is a unique department in the College of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University which addresses important problems in technology and policy. We educate technically skilled students to be leaders in policy-focused research; we work on policy problems in which the technology matters. The Laboratory for Energy
and Organizations (LEO) at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to conduct research on industrial innovation, entrepreneurship, and regional energy and economic transformation. The position will be based in Carnegie Mellon’s Department of Engineering and Public Policy (EPP) and will contribute to the Industrial Futures Project at the Wilton E. Scott Institute for
Energy Innovation and CMU’s participation in the Resilient Energy Technology and Infrastructure (RETI) Consortium. The postdoctoral researcher will work primarily with Professor Valerie Karplus and interact with other faculty, researchers, and students at Carnegie Mellon, as well as collaborators across the RETI Consortium. The position offers an opportunity to conduct interdisciplinary, policy-relevant research at
the intersection of technological innovation, entrepreneurship, industrial transformation, and energy systems. Research Focus: A central focus of the position will be developing an evidence base, and analysis of the drivers of new business success and technology and energy systems change in western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia have long been important centers of U.S. energy
and industrial activity and are now experiencing significant changes in energy technologies, infrastructure, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship. The RETI Consortium brings together Carnegie Mellon, West Virginia University, the University of Pittsburgh, and a broad network of industry, government, workforce, community, and other partners to strengthen the region's energy innovation ecosystem .
