Seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher, specializing on climate and environmental data science, to support development of innovative and high-quality analytical solutions to help understand climate impacts, crop and location-specific risks and adaptation options, and inform relevant investments in sustainable agriculture and climate adaptation.
Climate action demands drastic behavioural and social changes for a variety of actors. Success of technological interventions climate change mitigation and adaptation policies critically depends on our understanding of drivers of citizens’ behavior, including psychological biases, individual preferences, and social influence. We welcome an Assistant Professor with a passion to integrate and advance behavioural insights for effective climate policy design, communication and compliance concer[…]
