Nordic Centre of Excellence for Strategic Adaptation Research (NORD-STAR)

NORD-STAR is a Centre of Excellence involving collaboration across 10 research and policy organisations located in the 5 Nordic countries, with funding from the Norden Top-Level Research Initiative. Within the scope of climate impacts and climate policy, NORD-STAR focuses especially on three issues: land-use change, energy transitions, and insurance and finance.

SEI is now hiring a post-doctoral researcher focusing on the climate policy implications of bioenergy trade.

Research questions, rationale and approach
This research considers the climate policy implications of the continuing expansion in international bioenergy trade. Our work uses the Nordic countries as a reference point, but naturally connects strongly to the international market and international policy context given the global nature of the impacts and driving forces.

The research approach will be interdisciplinary in nature and will be developed by the post-doctoral researcher in consultation with relevant SEI staff, any appropriate NORD-STAR partners and any external collaborators that may be involved.

Key Qualifications:
• Recent Ph.D. in interdisciplinary energy/climate analysis, economics, applied sciences, or a related field
• Experience with quantitative and qualitative analysis of trade flows and/or bioenergy systems
• Excellent oral and written communication and presentation skills
• Ability to work in an international environment and willingness to travel
• Ability to develop and apply interdisciplinary methods
• Fluency in written and spoken English

Desirable* qualifications:
• Knowledge of another major/relevant language (e.g. Spanish, Portuguese, French) and/or a Nordic language
• Knowledge of EU energy and climate policies and institutions
• Experience in climate policy assessments for alternative energy systems and processes
• Experience in assessing land use impacts and/or sustainability of bioenergy products or systems
• Experience with evaluating climate impacts on biomass productivity
• Experience in analysing climate change vulnerability and assessing adaptation strategies

• Note that it is not expected that the successful candidate would possess all of these qualification or necessarily have experience in all the mentioned areas of analysis/research

Applications should be submitted in PDF format and should consist of curriculum vitae and a cover letter that includes the names and contact details of three referees. These should all be written in English and arrive at SEI no later than 30 November 2012. They should be sent by e-mail to: vacancies@sei-international.org .

Specific (brief) questions concerning the content of the position can be directed, up until 15 November, to francis.johnson@sei-international.org .
