Offer Description

The FEEM team is in charge of the analysis of the skill shortage and drivers associated with the green transition, including evaluation of the impacts of green policies. The team will use various data sources on which the FEEM LiLT team has long experience, such as task and skill data (ONET), online job vacancy data, patent (PATSTAT) and product-level (PRODCOM) data, matched employer-employee data for France and Italy.
