Dear friends

It would be wonderful if you could help us advertise this position with your contacts. 

We have funding for a 3 year ecological/environmental economics post-doc position as part of a grant from the Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation scheme 'Can capturing global ecosystem service values reduce poverty in low income countries?'

The successful candidate will work with the leaders of the economics
work-package: Neal Hockley (Bangor University), Mike Christie (Aberystwyth University) and Bruno Ramamonjisoa (Ecole Supérieure des Sciences Agronomie, Madagascar; ESSA) to develop and apply valuation approaches to investigate the effect of changes in land use incentivized under Payment for Ecosystem Services schemes in Madagascar on local welfare. They will also contribute to the wider project objectives and help the PI (Julia Jones, Bangor University) with aspects of interdisciplinary integration and with delivering project impact.

The candidate will be expected to spend three or four months a year in Madagascar (in one or two trips) working with the project team based at ESSA and in the project field sites (villages in the eastern rainforests of Madagascar).

Their main responsibility is the delivery of work in the economics work-package of the project but they will also contribute to other research work packages where appropriate (e.g. institutional analysis).

Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) in economics, sociology, anthropology or a related subject and have experience of publishing research in peer reviewed journals. Experience of social science field work in low income countries and working in interdisciplinary teams is highly desirable and knowledge of French or Malagasy will also be an advantage.

The successful candidate will be expected to commence on the 1st September 2013 or as soon as possible thereafter and the post is available until 31st August 2016.  The starting salary will be £30,424.

All the best.
