• Synthesis and integration of scenarios and pathways to a sustainable world by 2050
• Manage integration between three related initiatives, The World in 2050 (TWI2050),
Analysis, Integration and Modelling of the Earth System (AIMES) and Future Earth's SDG Knowledge Action Network.
The successful applicant will manage a major synthesis effort, which may require some modelling, to provide policy-relevant new insights relating to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals within planetary boundaries by 2050. We are interested in the following areas:
• Planetary health: Feeding 9.7 billion people a healthy diet within planetary boundaries
• Rapid transformation from urban sprawl to sustainable cities
• Alternative pathways to zero emissions by 2050
We encourage applicants with deep knowledge of one of these areas who are seeking to expand their knowledge in other areas. However, we are willing to explore other avenues relating to SDG scenarios and pathways for example, with regards to: equity and equality, gender, education, resilience, consumption and production, technological diffusion, artificial intelligence.
The aim of the project will be to elucidate pathways and levers for deep transformations based on new research and synthesis and analysis of existing research to provide new insights. The successful candidate will develop the project with AIMES and TWI2050 principal investigators (Peter Cox, Sander Van der Leeuw, Nebojsa Nakicenovic and Johan Rockström) and other researchers and work closely with the Earth League's "Earth docs" based at Stockholm Resilience Centre, IIASA and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. The Future Earth Fellow will also provide some coordination for related Future Earth activities. We are open to discussion about flexible arrangements regarding managing and merging existing projects/commitments.
The analysis and synthesis will entail meta-analysis and coordination of inter-comparisons. It is expected to lead to publications in high-profile interdisciplinary journals and other intellectual products. The position is a one-year sabbatical and is based at Future Earth's Global Hub working directly with Wendy Broadgate and Owen Gaffney at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Profile
You are probably an early career researcher building your networks. You will have deep expertise in one of our focus areas, for example global food security, global urban trends or the carbon cycle, but want a deep immersion in full Earth-system thinking and integrated assessment models with some of the world's leading modelling groups and institutes. You may already be working on, or leading, a similar project at your home institute and feel this opportunity can greatly add value to that work.
Future Earth Fellow roles and responsibilities
• Coordinating a high-level synthesis and analysis relating to critical knowledge gaps
• Liaison with the AIMES research community providing a bridge between AIMES and
TWI2050
• Connecting the SDGs Knowledge Action Network and TWI2050
• Connecting other Future Earth projects and activities to TWI2050
• Narrative development (Shared Socio Economic Pathways approach for successful outcome
of the SDGs)
• Linking Earth observation data to TWI2050 initiative
