new delhi, India Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) Full time

Purpose

CEEW seeks to hire a suitable candidate as a Programme Associate/ Research Analyst to support its research programme on clean cooking energy transition under the Clean Air team. The programme is on a mission to support the universal transition of Indian households to clean cooking energy fuels, with the objective of mitigating the adverse implications of solid fuel use on human and environmental health. The Council’s past work on energy access clearly lays out the varied challenges to the uptake of clean cooking fuels (such as LPG and electric cooking). In its next phase, the cooking energy transition programme would focus on devising suitable interventions (such as subsidy targeting, devising innovative incentive mechanisms for LPG distributors, or strategies to support the uptake of solar/grid-powered cooking) to address the persisting barriers and support their on-ground implementation.
