Following her post-doc, from January 1999 to April 2000, Kemfert led a research group at the Institute for Rational Application of Energies at the University of Stuttgart. As a guest professor, she taught at the University of St. Petersburg (2003–2004), University of Moscow (2000–2001) and University of Siena (1998, 2002–2003). From 2000 to 2004, Kemfert had a position as an assistant professor and was the leader of a research group at the University of Oldenburg.[1]
While Claudia Kempfert had run for office in 2012 with the CDU and in 2013 with the SPD,[17] in 2023 the Neue Zürcher Zeitung pointed out Kempferts repeated support for the Green party in Germany. In the article, colleagues accused her of delivering the party with ammunition for the political debate. During the campaign for the 2021 German federal election, Kempfert praised the Greens program to fight climate change. In April 2023 she published a study for the Greens, justifying the german Nuclear power phase-out. In it, Kempfert concluded, that Nuclear power has always been among the most expensive forms of energy, unable to compete with prices for fossil or renewable forms of energy production. The study used investment projects in nuclear power, which had exceeded their budget, like the Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant, to support its findings, while projects, which stayed in budget, were widely ignored.[18]
