The OpenNESS-Cana Project is seeking a post-doc to act in the
science-policy interface.
Scholarly topics of interest include, but are not limited to
socio-environmental policy and institutions in Brazil, Ecosystem Services
(ESS), environmental change and land use conflicts, political and/or
cultural change, economic development, globalization, or other major
aspects of social ecological change and transition in the interior of S?o
Paulo State.
The project is an attempt to objectively develop a
legal/political/institutional mechanism of payment for ecosystem services
(PES) in areas of high suitability for agriculture (especially sugarcane
biofuel farms) in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. While on one hand the new
Brazilian Forest Code bid innovatively predicts PES schemes, it also leaves
an enormous gap regarding how these PES schemes would be implemented in
practice in terms of identification, valuation and monitoring of ecosystem
services. Therefore the project involves not only biophysical aspects of
operationalizing ESS but has also a strong focus on socio-economic
implications related to the political dimension of these schemes, through a
dialogue with local stakeholders and decision makers.
We seek applicants with a demonstrated record of training, rigorous field
research, and excellence in working in an interdisciplinary field
(especially helping in training of undergraduate and graduate students
within the newly created graduate school in Ecology and Biodiversity at
UNESP). Fluency in English and Portuguese languages is necessary for this
position.
Candidates also should demonstrate an interest in program building and the
ability to work collaboratively across disciplinary boundaries with faculty
and students in various departments and disciplines.
The appointment will be for 1 year initially with an option to renew the
contract up to 2 additional years. The position is located at the Earth
System Science Lab - LabTerra, Department of Ecology, at S?o Paulo State
University - UNESP Campus at Rio Claro - SP, Brazil.
There will be strong collaboration with researchers at CCST / INPE
(Brazil's National Institute for Space Research), S?o Jos? dos Campos - SP
and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmmental Research - UFZ in Leipzig,
Germany. This position requires a Ph.D. degree in Anthropology, Human
Geography, History, Political Science, or Sociology or Environmental
Sciences, Biology, Ecology and or any related field.
Applicants should apply by sending an email to
contato.labterra@gmail.comwith the subject heading "Post-doc position
/ OpenNESS-Cana", and submit: a
1-page-long *letter of interest* (indicating research interests related to
the position), and a *biographical sketch* (max. of 3 pages, including
education and professional career, list of 3-5 main scientific
publications, and indication of the quantity of scientific papers,
conference presentations and students supervised if applicable. Successful
applicants will be invited for an interview with project coordinators.
Applications will be accepted until April 25th, or until the position has
been filled. The selected postdoc will be granted a Ci?ncia Sem
Fronteiras/CAPES Post-Doc Fellowship with monthly salary of BRL$ 4,100.00.
