About the position

- or aquatic based resource systems and their related institutional and governance arrangements in times of crises in sustainable, inclusive and just ways.
Applications must include a research proposal (maximum 3 pages) that demonstrates the potential for the post-doc project to contribute to novel, interdisciplinary research and teaching perspectives that address the critical, interwoven social and ecological challenges of our times.
