www.slu.seBiofuel Economics
The recently increasing promotion and use of biofuels calls for economic analyses of this type of energy. We are seeking a post-doctoral researcher with the ability and interest to track down the private and social costs and benefits of various types of biofuels, such as ethanol, biodiesel and biogas.
It can then be important to try to make a judgement about the possibilities for future technological change, which would make cost reduction possible. Another important area concerns the role for economic policy: how large should the subsidies of biofuels be and how much of this should be put on research, production and distribution, respectively? Naturally, the research should take into account that the use of land for biofuels crowds out alternative land uses, such as food production.

Qualifications: The applicant should be highly motivated and have a PhD degree in economics. Good knowledge of microeconomics, in particular optimal policy design is desirable.

A short description (2-4 pages) of previous research, current research interests and other activities of relevance for the position. Telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of two referees.
