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.
