The Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics, Sweden has announced two one-year post-doctoral fellowships in Economics with possibilities of extension. One position will be placed within the Beijer Institute program Global Dynamics and Resilience and the other within the Behavioral Economics and Nature Network.
Aim
The Behavioral Economics and Nature Network (BENN) aims to serve as a clearing house for behavioral research around the world in economics, ecology and other disciplines for improved stewardship of our life-supporting ecosystems. BENN pushes for more work integrating behavioral sciences with life sciences and how understanding feedbacks between the two can generate better advice than either alone.
Global Dynamics and Resilience program seeks to explore critical unrecognized or ignored social-ecological interactions, feedbacks and potential tipping points of relevance for human wellbeing. They are looking at the kind of governance structures and economic incentives that can deal with new global interactions and help transform societal development towards global sustainability.
Eligibility
The institute is accepting applications from PhDs in Economics who wish to conduct research in a stimulating, and friendly environment, in close collaboration with other disciplines. They are looking for candidates with exceptional scholarly promise and a rigorous approach to problem solving. Previous research experience on modeling, global issues, behavioral issues and research across disciplinary boundaries is highly valued as well as research experience within the areas of other research programmes of the Beijer Institute.
Deadline for submitting the application is September 15, 2011
