About this position

The Environmental Markets Lab (emLab) at the University of California, Santa Barbara is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead the design and on-the-water pilot of market-based conservation mechanisms aimed at reducing the catch of endangered and sensitive species, including turtles and sharks, by fisheries in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean.

The project is carried out in collaboration with emLab directors, Conservation International field teams, local management agencies, and fishers in Latin America. It is part of the UCSB-CI Arnhold Climate Solutions Collaborative, which focuses on applied research and practical, scalable solutions to environmental challenges.

emLab is a research team at UC Santa Barbara that develops economic research for practical action, connecting science with policy, data with decisions, and interdisciplinary expertise with collaborative implementation. The successful researcher will contribute to this environment while also being able to devote a fraction of their time to their own research.
