IAEA: 3E Analyst – Vienna

 

Main Purpose

Reporting to the Unit Head and Section Head, the 3E Analyst ensures that effective support is provided to interested Member States for building local capacities for conducting comprehensive technical, economic and environmental assessments of energy options and the potential role of different technology options, including nuclear power, for sustainable energy development, and that the IAEA’s analytical tools (i.e. indicators, life-cycle and full cost assessments) are developed and made available for the analysis of emerging energy issues.

Role

The 3E Analyst is: (1) an educator: capacity building in Member States in the area of energy-economy-environment analysis; (2) an analyst: providing authoritative and objective analysis and information on energy systems issues (including nuclear power) to Member States; (3) a facilitator working with Member States towards meeting their national energy development objectives, and; (4) a team member: working collaboratively within the Section on developing/enhancing energy-economy-environment assessment tools as well as on analyses and studies.

Functions / Key Results Expected

Prepare reports, papers, presentation materials, etc. on energy, electricity and nuclear power development and on the role of nuclear power for sustainable energy development.
Act as Scientific Secretary for technical meetings, training courses and workshops organized by the IAEA and its collaborating organizations.
Develop and enhance the IAEA’s tools (indicators, assessment methodologies) for analyzing sustainable energy development; update their user manuals, guidebooks and related training material.
Support the Unit Head and Section Head in preparing periodic reviews of programme implementation, maintaining and updating performance indicators, and planning future programmes.
Provide technical support to Member States for capacity building for sustainable energy development and for conducting national energy studies using the IAEA’s energy planning tools.
