We have funds for a post-doc in the PEGASOS project - a multi-disciplinary project to understand the political economy of a global coal phase-out. Please forward to your networks. If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Further details below. Thanks so much and warm regards, Jan Post-doc in the PEGASOS project: * Do you want to help unraveling one of the big questions of our time? * Do you want to advance your career in Europe's leading scientific climate think tank (ICCG ranking)? * Do you enjoy applied quantitative modelling and multi-disciplinary teams? Then this might be a job for you! In PEGASOS we want to learn about the political economy of a global coal phase-out and how smart policies can help to overcome some of the major barriers. Why? Because how a global coal phase-out can be organized is the elephant in the room of climate change mitigation: Global models suggest that phasing-out coal is one the easy, first things we will do to reduce emissions. Yet, we learn on the ground that phasing-out coal and closing down mines often come with a stark political economy. In order to learn about politically viable strategies we engage in comprehensive evidence synthesis, build models at different scales, use machine learning to understand discourses and carry out case-studies in various countries. We use formal synthesis methods for bringing the various insights from the project together. The project works with communication experts, has a multi-stakeholder advisory board from government, unions, industry associations and NGOs and has already built an international network of partner institutions. If this is intriguing, have a look at the job-ad and apply!
