Energy Efficiency
The Energy Efficiency Division (EEfD) of the IEA seeks interns to assist with ongoing global research,
analysis and outreach activities. This is an excellent opportunity to work with one of the world’s leading
international organisations on the topic energy efficiency, which is at the heart of the global clean energy
transition.
Interns will conduct research, analysis and ad hoc activities as required by the EEfD in two overlapping
focus areas. The first area of focus is characterised by data gathering, data preparation, and quantitative
analysis of:
Policy data preparation– designing processes to capture and prepare policy data for incorporation
into the IEA’s Policies and Measures database;
Financing and investment – collecting, analysing and modelling data on financing and investment
trends in buildings, transport and industry sectors;
The second area of focus also comprises quantitative aspects but is generally characterised by more
qualitative research and analysis, as well as outreach activities with emerging economies, notably in the
areas of:
Integration of efficiency and renewable energy policies – researching synergies and related issues;
Behavioural insights for policy – research on how policy makers are using behavioural sciences to
shape efficiency policy-making;
Energy efficiency in industry, buildings, and cities – research and analysis on policies to advance
energy efficiency in these areas.
