Dear all,

 

The Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in European & Global Climate Governance at the department of Environmental Policy Analysis (EPA).

This position is supported by the NAVIGATOR project, “The EU Navigating Multilateral Cooperation”, a Horizon Europe project. The project’s main objective is to contribute to a revitalized system of multilateral governance that can strengthen a rules-based international system, thereby advancing the EU’s core values and interests. The project explores institutional variations on six policy issues – climate change, digitalisation, finance/tax, health, migration, and security – to identify what institutional mixes enable the EU to have an optimal impact on a given policy issue.

In the climate change work package (WP3), you will study issues including, but not limited to, the realisation of synergies among various climate-focused instruments and institutions; the accountability of the new complex multilateralism; the implications of the re-emerging geopolitical rivalry with Russia for European climate action, in particular in the energy-climate nexus; and the role of the EU act as an orchestrator of effective, fair and equitable climate action. The IVM lead is Professor Philipp Pattberg, who is responsible for the work package on climate change.
