Are you passionate about sustainable agriculture and eager to bridge the gap between research and real-world farming practices? We are looking for five motivated Master's students in Economics or a related field to join our groundbreaking study on fossil-free agriculture in Sweden. This is your chance to contribute to meaningful policy studies while gaining hands-on research experience.
About the project
We are conducting a survey titled "Towards Fossil-Free Agriculture in Sweden: Farm Practices and Farmer Preferences." Our goal is to understand farmers' attitudes toward adopting fossil-free practices and identify how policy can support this transition. By interviewing farmers (including in your own network), you'll help us refine the survey and ensure it reflects real-world challenges and opportunities.
About the position
You will be part of a small, dynamic team working closely with researchers to:
• Conduct interviews with farmers (flexible timing, including evenings/weekends).
• Test and improve the Swedish translation of the survey with farmer families.
• Summarise key insights from interviews to enhance survey quality.
Work Structure:
• Remote or hybrid (interviews can be done via phone/Zoom or in-person).
• 5-hour paid engagement per interview.
• Training and guidelines provided.
Your profile
We're looking for someone who:
• Is enrolled in a Master's program in Economics, Agricultural Science, Environmental Studies, or related fields.
• Has strong communication skills (fluent in Swedish and English).
• Has a strong network among farmers.
