Job description: Two postdoctoral researcher positions in the field of Global Sustainability and Earth System Governance: Utrecht University, Netherlands, €3,413 and €3,974 monthly
Utrecht University has opened two postdoctoral researcher positions in the field of Global Sustainability Governance/Earth System Governance.
The postdoctoral researchers will be part of the cutting-edge international research programme “Global Governance through Goals? Assessing and Explaining the Steering Effects of the UN Sustainable Development Goals” (GLOBALGOALS). This research programme is directed by Professor Frank Biermann and funded through an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council. The postdoctoral researchers will analyse the global steering effects of the Sustainable Development Goals within the broader framework and research design of the GLOBALGOALS programme.
At the current state of the project, we are especially looking for forward-looking postdoctoral research that analyses the needed reforms of the SDGs until 2030 and that develops cutting-edge, transformative ideas about governance by goals after 2030. In addition, we expect the postdocs to contribute to new high-impact publications that synthesise the current findings of the GlobalGoals Project, as well as related societal and policy outreach.
Teaching is not required in this position. However, if so desired, a limited involvement in the faculty’s teaching programmes is possible.
