The IEA operates as an autonomous body within the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Both the OECD and the IEA seek opportunities to work with an increasing number of non-members of growing importance to the world economy. The Agency aims to foster the contribution of the energy sector economic development and environmental sustainability.
The IEA seeks to recruit several energy analysts, to constitute a pool of candidates for current and upcoming needs, in order to work with, among others, the teams responsible for the World Energy Outlook, Energy Technology Perspectives, Clean Energy Transitions, Energy Efficiency, energy markets, and contribute to analysis of long-term regional and sectoral energy trends, future technology choices, market developments. The successful candidates will have a strong background in energy analysis with a focus on one or multiple sectors (like industry, transport, buildings, power generation, low-carbon fuel supply, fossil-fuel markets, renewable technologies). The selected candidates will contribute to the analysis and drafting of IEA high-profile thematic publications across a large range of energy topics (like country net-zero roadmaps, technology roadmaps and sectoral deep dives, market reports, clean energy transitions). In particular the IEA is looking amongst others for expertise in fields such as oil markets, critical minerals, energy investment, energy security, electricity policy, regional energy cooperation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, energy technology and innovation, energy transitions, and multilateral coordination.
