IESE focuses on principles in the workplace that help cultivate an atmosphere of professionalism, integrity, service, and respect and believes that organizations are communities of people.

The switch from internal combustion engines to battery electric vehicles (buses, cars, mopeds, scooters, trucks, etc.) and the coupling of BEVs to the energy sector (especially at distribution level) play a crucial role in achieving the goals set forth in the EU Green Deal and subsequent. At the same time, the manufacturing footprint and technological leadership of mobility hardware is shifting from the West to the East. This change and restructuring provides many opportunities for research.

We are looking for a self-starter who wants to research the current trends in the mobility sector and its role in green energy, the state of transformation, and emerging new players and structures.

The position entails the following responsibilities :

• Support the professor in his mobility-related projects (e.g., analyzing the effects of new technologies, new players, new business models).
• Investigate the coupling between mobility and energy, e.g., emerging dominant designs in the area of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) solutions and technologies.
• Research current developments in the sector from a general management perspective, i.e., not technological details, but implications for business.
• Support the development of academic material for publication or use in class.
• Support the organization of IESE MOBILITY, an annual event for the automotive industry and the mobility sector.
• Attend selected sessions at IESE to support the professor.

Minimum Requirements :

• BS / BA degree or Master’s degree in Business, Economics or Engineering.
• Fluent English (speaking and writing) is a must, German is a plus.
• Experience with Excel (e.g., VBA, Pivot Tables); basic knowledge in Mathematica, R, Python or Minitab a plus.
• Strong interest in the mobility and renewable energy sector.
• Self-starter : weekly update meetings with professor; the rest of the time you need to be motivated enough to push your work forward.

• Opportunity to work with a renowned professor in the mobility sector.
• Do research in one of the most interesting areas in today’s business landscape.
• Have access to leading decision makers in the industry.
• A highly international work environment in Barcelona at one of the best global business schools.
