Dear colleagues,

 

The Environmental Geography group from the Free University of Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) has an exciting position as tenure track assistant professor of land use and food systems. The position was re-advertised due to the very low number of applicants. The position offers a very good salary scale, in a scientifically competitive environment. The tenure track position can be turned into a permanent position after 18 months of efforts for applying to grants and proving a development in terms of publication writing.

 

Very briefly, the assistant professor will develop projects that look at the interrelations between food systems and land use in the context of sustainability transitions. The successful candidate is expected either analyze the full food system, or focus on specific food system interactions with land use.

Thanks for spreading this to potential interested graduated PhD students or postdocs.

 

Best regards,

 

Pierre Chopin (He/Him)

Dear colleagues, 

The Environmental Geography group from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) has an exciting position for a fully funded postdoc for 24 months on land use and climate change.  


The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop a land use model to study mitigation and adaptation in the agriculture, forestry and other land use sectors in two case studies in Germany and Spain. In particular, the postdoc will study how these two regions can contribute to mitigating climate change and adapting to more frequent droughts, heat stress and flooding by modifying their cropland and forest systems.

The postdoc will work in the international KNOWING project (https://knowing-climate.eu/), funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe framework with 16 other institutes. The KNOWING project aims to develop a modelling framework to help understand and quantify the interactions between impacts and risks of climate change, mitigation pathways and adaptation strategies across different sectors (agriculture, forestry, urban, energy, transport).
