Abstract This fellowship involves working as part of the Climate and Energy Science Advisory (CESA) team within DECC. The role has a specific remit to work closely with the 2050 route map team to provide technical advice and support. This is very important as decisions that policy makers make in the next few years will affect both the UK's ability to meet reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy targets and the way that we live our lives. Therefore the social and economic implications of major technical changes are also very important. This fellowship will build upon the fellow's links within the science and engineering community and knowledge of the research council's energy programme. The approach will involve identifying gaps in the knowledge and evidence based and providing timely and appropriate support from multiple sources.
