In collaboration with the Stockholm Environment Institute and Energikontor Syd, and funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, the project examines how heating and transport poverty overlap, which groups are most affected, and how structural factors — from energy systems to housing and mobility — shape unequal access to essential services. Rising heating and transport costs are becoming a growing challenge for many households in Sweden. As the fossil‑free transition accelerates, not everyone is able to benefit equally — and some face real risks of energy and mobility poverty.
We are looking for someone who:
Holds a relevant interdisciplinary master’s degree
Is fluent in English and Swedish
Has an interest in energy justice, sustainability, and social inequality
Is motivated to conduct rigorous, impactful research
What you will do:
Investigate lived experiences of energy poverty through qualitative and quantitative methods
Identify vulnerable groups and intersecting forms of energy disadvantage
Work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment
Contribute to public engagement activities, including an artistic exhibition
The application is open until April 7, 2026
