.Postdoctoral position in Integrated Assessment Modelling for Post-Growth Climate Mitigation Scenarios A postdoctoral position at ICTA-UAB4-year contract with a 6-month probational period.Salary: 35.000€ gross annual salaryStarting date: June-September of 2024.We are seeking applications for an outstanding postdoctoral researcher to work with us in two exciting international collaboration projects. MAPS (short for Models, Assessment & Policies for Sustainability), is a Horizon Europe project that aims to advance the development of modelling tools in ecological economics, broaden the range of policy options, and expand the conceivable scenario space to achieve high levels of human wellbeing while limiting climate change and protecting biodiversity. REAL is an ERC-Synergy project that aims to explore new models of provisioning systems, policies, and politics in a post-growth direction, in which achieving universal human wellbeing is achieved within planetary boundaries – and removed from dependence on economic growth.Requirements:The successful candidates will hold a PhD in Ecological/Environmental Economics, Energy Economics, or another field involving the modelling of environment and society. We seek candidates who have previous experience with Integrated Assessment Modelling, who have an interest in post-growth and degrowth scholarship, and who are motivated to work on climate mitigation scenarios and modelling post-growth policy implementation. Experience with programming is required.Other requirements:Fluency in English is required. Fluency in Spanish or Catalan will be valued but is not required.Track record of research publications.The successful candidate will have the ability and commitment to work both independently and collaboratively as part of the interdisciplinary teams of the REAL and MAPS projects.The position is full-time and based in Barcelona. Successful candidates will be supported in their travel to conferences and presentations.Ability to create and contribute to a well-functioning, inclusive and productive research environment.The position will be hosted at ICTA-UAB, under the supervision of Dr Aljoša Slameršak and Dr. Jason Hickel. The candidates will work in close collaboration with the REAL project team at ICTA-UAB and the University of Lausanne (led by Jason Hickel, Giorgos Kallis and Julia Steinberger), and in collaboration with the MAPS project team at the University of Barcelona (led by Daniel W. O'Neill and Federico Demaria). Successful candidates will be supported in conducting a research stay at one of the other leading modelling teams in Europe, if they so desire.We are committed to advancing the careers of junior women researchers, and researchers from under-represented backgrounds, who are encouraged to apply.Expected tasks:Contribute to the design of post-growth scenarios of climate mitigation and energy transition that will be submitted for inclusion in the next IPCC and IPBES assessment reports
