Tim has been a research associate at Europa-Universität Flensburg since 2022, supporting the coordination of the Master’s program Sustainable Energy.. Since 2023, he has been pursuing a PhD on “Workforce development in low carbon energy transitions”, funded by a doctoral scholarship from the Gesellschaft für Energie- und Klimaschutz Schleswig-Holstein (EKSH).
