Applications for this vacancy closed on 28 February 2025 at 12:00PM
_PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CLOSING DATE FOR THIS VACANCY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 28
FEBRUARY 2025_
An exciting opportunity for a Research Associate with the Oxford Sustainable
Finance Group.
The postholder will report to the Head of Transition Finance Research and will
contribute to research on the drivers of the risk premia that impacts the cost
of capital, which is a key driver of the much-needed reallocation of capital
from high-carbon to low-carbon investments. Thus, this work will complement
our ongoing work in the Energy Transition Risk and Cost of Capital project,
where we not only track the cost of capital for energy investments but also
seek to understand drivers of cost of capital.
In this process, the researcher will produce research on the following in the
Indian context:
* Understanding barriers/risks to clean energy investments, focusing on key technologies: renewables, battery storage, and green hydrogen.
* Quantifying risk-premia for clean energy investments, including how different risks contribute to the cost of capital.
* Developing solutions – policies as well as financial instruments – that would reduce this risk premia.
The researcher will also collaborate with relevant stakeholders to explore the
implementation of the solutions, by working with collaborators, concessional
climate finance providers, and policymakers.
The role is strongly balanced towards research, but with opportunities for
gaining teaching experience. Postholders will contribute to existing research
projects and help create new ones in collaboration with the Head of Transition
Research. The postholder will have the opportunity to attend international
conferences and workshops relevant to their work and potentially also
participate in short-term secondments with our partners.
The postholder will have the opportunity to raise funding, manage budgets and
supervise research assistants or DPhil students where appropriate.

As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ well-being, and this is
reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:
* An excellent contributory pension scheme
