About this position

Ciriacy-Wantrup Postdoctoral Fellowships in Natural Resource Economics and Political Economy at the University of California, Berkeley support advanced research for the 2027–2028 academic year.

The fellowship is designed for scholars working on natural resource economics, political economy, and related areas of environmental resources. The program welcomes applicants from any social science discipline, as well as related professional fields such as law and planning. The strongest proposals are expected to be institutionally and/or historically oriented, conceptually and theoretically innovative, and policy-relevant. Projects focused primarily on advancing statistical or econometric theory are not eligible.

This is a two-year postdoctoral award. The fellowship provides a salary of $86,897 in the first year, with an increase in the second year, plus $2,000 per year for research-related expenses and one-way economy airfare to Berkeley for the fellow and immediate family. Fellows are appointed as UC employees and receive postdoctoral benefits; visiting research fellows receive UC-sponsored benefits coverage.

Eligibility requires a recent doctorate or equivalent international degree by the appointment start date. Applicants should explain their proposed project, why Berkeley is important for the work, and indicate a preferred departmental affiliation and/or faculty mentor. UC Berkeley doctoral graduates may apply if they demonstrate a significant change in research direction and interdisciplinary engagement.

The application opens on 2026-09-28. Applications completed by 2026-12-04 receive full consideration. Required materials include a cover letter, CV, abstract, research proposal (up to 10 pages), recent publications, and three letters of recommendation.
