We are hiring!

We have two fully-funded PhD positions open in the project MOTION-CB

The first position focuses on the economic analysis of climate change-related adaptations in land use using surveys (choice experiments), with an emphasis on synergies between agricultural production, biodiversity, and carbon storage. The goal is to identify policy instruments that benefit both farmers and ecosystems. Job advertisement

The second position focuses on the spatial modelling of ecosystems under climate change, with an emphasis on the impacts of land use measures on biodiversity and carbon sequestration. The goal is to quantify synergies and trade-offs between multiple objectives and to identify land use measures that benefit both biodiversity and the climate system. Job advertisement
