Postdoc position in governance of sustainable agri-food systems at University of Basel

[Janina Grabs]

Dear colleagues,

 

I hope you are well (and sorry for cross-posting).

 

I wanted to share that in my upcoming new position as Associate Professor and Head of the Sustainability Research Group at the University of Basel (starting June 1), I am recruiting for a postdoc, and hoping that you could forward this message to any candidates in your networks that might be interested.

 

It’s a 2+4 year, 75% position in the governance of sustainable agri-food systems, focusing on the implementation of mandatory sustainability legislation (e.g. EU Deforestation Regulation) in tropical agri-food commodity chains. There are some teaching expectations, but in small class/seminar settings, and a lot of room to lead cutting-edge, innovative work in the realm of sustainability governance. I also have a budget for fieldwork in producing country contexts (e.g. Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire) and hope to collaborate closely with the successful candidate on such research. I am also committed to provide strong mentorship in preparing for the next career steps. Swiss postdoc salaries are generally above-average in international comparison, and increase with years on the job; in this case, the candidate would start at around 62’000 CHF/year for the 75% position, with possibilities of supplementing the remaining 25% via project funding or teaching. Please see the full job ad and application modalities here: https://www.unibas.ch/de/Arbeiten-an-der-Universitaet-Basel/Offene-Stellen.html (position: Postdoc position in Sustainability Research Group); we are starting evaluations in May, with ideal start date in August 2024 (though this is subject to negotiation). Feel free to direct open questions to Janina...@unibas.ch.

 

Many thanks for sharing widely!

 

Best,

 

Janina
