SEI is hiring a Research Fellow to take a leading role in our work within Mistra-SWECIA, a programme that since its inception in 2008 has generated advanced research across the fields of climate science, economics, ecosystem sciences and social sciences. The part of the programme related to this recruitment and our methodological approach is explained in more detail at the bottom of this ad.
We are looking for an individual who holds extensive research competence in the fields of environment-related participatory research and the institutional dimension of environmental change and governance (including informal aspects e.g. learning , leadership, trust, as well as formal aspects of institutions ). The researcher should also have experience from working with or studying forestry issues in Nordic settings. The research approach is interdisciplinary in nature.
Mistra-SWECIA has a clear Swedish focus. SEI is however a global research organisation and we expect our new colleague to increasingly be involved in other relevant SEI projects and have an interest in forestry, climate change adaptation and the management and governance of natural resource based systems well beyond the Swedish context. We are seeking an independent and highly self-managing candidate capable of developing our research further intellectually as well as in terms of leading proposal writing and securing external funding.
As the bulk of the Mistra-SWECIA field work is conducted in Swedish, fluency in written and spoken Swedish is an absolute requirement for this position.
Key Qualifications
• Ph.D. in relevant field (e.g. sociology, political science, geography, forestry, agronomy or economy)
• Demonstrated ability to conduct qualitative participatory research, facilitate stakeholder meetings, use different participatory techniques
• Demonstrated ability to analyse the institutional dimension of sustainable development and ability to draw policy and implementation relevant conclusions from such work
• Familiarity with Swedish or Nordic forestry sectors and management practices
• Excellent oral and written communication and presentation skills
• Demonstrated ability to develop and apply interdisciplinary methods
• Willingness to travel
• Fluency in written and spoken Swedish and English
Desirable* Qualifications
• Familiarity with the dominant climate change adaptation research agendas and related streams of research
• Experience in policy relevant research and policy analysis
• Familiarity with participatory modelling in the context of natural resource management
• Demonstrated ability to work in an international environment
• Note that it is not expected that the candidate would possess all of these qualifications or necessarily have experience in all the mentioned areas of analysis/research.
