Expert in Climate and Energy Modelling
SEI Tallinn is recruiting an Expert in Climate and Energy Modelling. The temporary position (until autumn 2026) presents an opportunity to join an internationally leading research institute and contribute to the planning and development of resilient, secure and low-carbon energy systems in Eastern Europe, with a primary focus on Moldova and Ukraine.
The expert will work with our existing teams in Tallinn, Stockholm and the US and in collaboration with national stakeholders and government counterparts. The main responsibility of the role is to support the development of Electricity Security of Supply analysis and sectoral decarbonisation modelling.
The work is part of a larger project, Green Agenda for Armenia, Moldova and Ukraine with a goal to support these countries in their green transition and EU integration ambitions. Within this framework, the expert will apply advanced energy system modelling tools to deliver policy-relevant insights that directly support evidence-based decision-making on energy infrastructure development, decarbonisation strategies, and electricity security of supply in the region.
Who you are
We are looking for a modelling specialist who combines strong analytical depth with practical delivery. You can translate complex model results into clear insights for decision-makers, while also supporting colleagues. You are structured, proactive, and collaborative. You are comfortable working in multidisciplinary environments and ensuring delivery across partners and stakeholders. You are a modeller who delivers reliable results under real-world constraints. You can work independently on complex analytical tasks while staying aligned with a broader team plan. You communicate clearly with both technical colleagues and non-technical stakeholders, and you are rigorous about assumptions, uncertainty, and documentation.
Formal qualifications and knowledge
- Master’s degree or higher in a relevant field (energy systems, electrical/power engineering, applied mathematics, economics, systems modelling, or similar).
- Prior experience in energy system modelling, power system adequacy/security of supply, and/or climate-energy scenario analysis.
- Demonstrated capability with probabilistic methods (e.g., Monte Carlo), scenario design, and sensitivity analysis.
- Ability to work with large datasets and ensure transparency and reproducibility of modelling inputs and results.
- Excellent written and spoken English, including the ability to produce publication-quality technical content.
- Experience working in international, multidisciplinary teams.
Personal skills required in the position
- Structured, quality-focused, and dependable in delivery.
- Good analytical judgement and ability to identify data gaps, modelling risks, and validation needs early.
- Clear communicator who can explain modelling choices and results without oversimplifying.
- Collaborative, receptive to peer review, and comfortable working with shared codebases and reproducible workflows.
- Able to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a team environment.
Key duties and responsibilities include
- Collect, process, and validate energy system data to support modelling, scenario development, and analysis.
- Develop, update, run, and quality-assure energy system modelling workflows for electricity security of supply/adequacy assessments, and sectoral decarbonisation. Develop and document scenarios, assumptions, and input datasets in a transparent and consistent manner.
- Analyse energy infrastructure needs, system performance, and policy impacts under different future scenarios.
- Write and review technical sections of reports and annexes, ensuring transparency, reproducibility, and consistency of methods and results.
- Collaborate effectively in a team setting, including structured handovers, version control, and peer review of code and results.
