In addition to the great renewable energy master’s program I just wrote about, I was recently informed about an opportunity to do graduate, PhD, or post-doctorate studies on the topic of low-carbon vehicles at Simon Fraser University.
From the announcement page: “We invite applications for graduate students and post-doctoral positions for interdisciplinary research relating to low-carbon vehicle technology, demand and policy. Successful applicants will join Drs. Erik Kjeang (School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering), Elicia Maine (Beedie School of Business) and Jonn Axsen (School of Resource and Environmental Management) in a multi-year (2015-2020), interdisciplinary project seeking to develop affordable low-carbon vehicle technologies to meet climate goals. The overall project crosses three Faculties at SFU (Applied Sciences, Environment and Business) integrating social, economic and technical analyses of alternative fuel vehicles such as hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric vehicles. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.
“Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Review of applications will start late June 2015. Only short-listed candidates will be contacted. Please send all applications electronically to: Suzanne Goldberg, Adjunct Professor, School of Resource and Environmental Management, Simon Fraser University, TEL: 778-558-3617; e-mail: sgoldber@sfu.ca”
Looks enticing. As an academic at heart (I think), this program is really tempting me. But how could I move on from the wonderful work I’m doing right now?!

I don't like paywalls. You don't like paywalls. Who likes paywalls? Here at CleanTechnica, we implemented a limited paywall for a while, but it always felt wrong — and it was always tough to decide what we should put behind there. In theory, your most exclusive and best content goes behind a paywall. But then fewer people read it! We just don't like paywalls, and so we've decided to ditch ours. Unfortunately, the media business is still a tough, cut-throat business with tiny margins. It's a never-ending Olympic challenge to stay above water or even perhaps — gasp — grow. So ...
