One Phd is on quantitative modelling of national biodiversity accounting and decision support. The other PhD is on the political economy of biodiversity financing and methodologically more open. The postdoc focusses on governance, actors, and steering instruments. The Mistra Biopath programme is an interdisciplinary research endeavour that aims to map, assess, co-develop and test existing and novel approaches for integration of biodiversity considerations into financial decision-making, and analyse the institutional and policy implications of potential transition pathways (see https://www.mistrabiopath.se/). The positions: PhD position in Political Science, Biodiversity Financing/ARIES<https://lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:571645/> Deadline: 3rd February 2023 Start date: 1st September 2023 The thesis project shall study the political economy of biodiversity financing, concretely national accounting standards for ecosystem services and the role of corresponding support systems for political decision making. Through a semantic artificial intelligence model builder called ARIES (Artificial Intelligence for Ecosystem Services), experimental biodiversity accounts will be developed in collaboration with partners from both public and private sectors. The doctoral project shall delineate both the potential and limitations of such an evidence-based support for political decision making for biodiversity conservation. ________________________________ PhD position Political Science, Political Economy of Biodiversity Financing<https://lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:565031/> Deadline: 3rd February 2023 Start date: 1st September 2023 The thesis project shall study the political economy of biodiversity financing, with a particular focus on the role of Swedish public expenditures for biodiversity conservation and their relation to financial markets. This could include, for example, mapping current public and private expenditures, assessing existing finance solutions and financing needs, and devising solutions to mobilize the required resources. Methodologically, the thesis can draw on quantitative and qualitative data and inputs from a variety of sectors. ________________________________ Thanks for forwarding and sorry for crossposting.
