Beschreibung

In the project "Responsibility for Future Forests", we apply the concept of responsibility (Baumgärtner et al to social-ecological forest systems and demonstrate how it can be made operational to describe, judge, and guide decision-making of various actors at various levels of decision-making. One research task will be to conceptually and theoretically enhance and specify the concept of responsibility for social-ecological forest systems. Another research task will be to empirically study – through surveys or interviews – how stakeholders in the Black Forest region actually perceive their own (causal, normative, and virtuous) responsibilities and those of others.

The Excellence Cluster Future Forests at the University of Freiburg is an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to questions of adaptation and transformation of forests and their societal use in the face of global change. Future-oriented research on the complex interactions between forests and society is conducted here with outstanding international visibility, supported by the German Research Foundation. Future Forests brings together more than 50 researchers from four faculties as well as non-university partner institutions.

Your Tasks

  • Independent scientific research in the project "Responsibility for Future Forests"

  • Contribution to scientific publications and presentations at national and international conferences

  • Collaboration with interdisciplinary and international research teams within the Excellence Cluster Future Forests, in particular within Research Themes B2 and B3

  • Active involvement in, and contributions to, cluster activities, workshops, reports, and outreach events

Your Profile

  • Completed university degree (M.Sc. or equivalent, above average) in economics or another discipline relevant for the project

  • Very good skills in relevant methods, e.g. theoretical and empirical welfare economics

  • High research interest on the topic of "responsibility for future forests"

  • Expertise in forest management, economics or policy is helpful but not required

  • Ability to work independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team

  • Proficient written and spoken German and English

We Offer

  • An exciting interdisciplinary research environment within an internationally renowned Excellence Cluster

  • The opportunity to obtain a PhD degree, with structured support and supervision, advanced training through the Graduate School of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and mentoring for your scientific and career development
