International Society For Industrial EcologyPostdoctoral Position in Integrated Assessment Modelling for Post-Growth Climate Mitigation ScenariosA postdoctoral position at ICTA-UAB with a 4-year contract and 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 (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, achieving universal human wellbeing within planetary boundaries and independent of economic growth.Requirements:The successful candidates will hold a PhD in Ecological/Environmental Economics, Energy Economics, or another related field involving the modelling of environment and society.Previous experience with Integrated Assessment Modelling.Interest in post-growth and degrowth scholarship.Motivation to work on climate mitigation scenarios and modelling post-growth policy implementation.Experience with programming is required.Fluency in English is required; fluency in Spanish or Catalan will be valued but is not required.Track record of research publications.Ability and commitment to work both independently and collaboratively as part of interdisciplinary teams.The position is full-time and based in Barcelona. Successful candidates will be supported in their travel to conferences and presentations, and in creating 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, with close collaboration with the REAL project team at ICTA-UAB and the University of Lausanne, and the MAPS project team at the University of Barcelona. Successful candidates may also conduct a research stay at one of the leading modelling teams in Europe.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.
