About this position

PhD opportunity in economics at INRAE, Rennes, France

This post announces a doctoral opening at the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE) in Rennes, within the Brittany-Normandy Centre and the SMART research unit. The project sits at the intersection of agricultural economics, environmental economics, behavioural economics, and experimental economics, with a strong focus on agroecological transition and public policy design.

The PhD will study how taxation and compensation mechanisms can encourage farmers to adopt agroecological practices. The research includes analysing farmers’ responses to environmental policies, developing microeconomic and behavioural approaches, and designing surveys and field experiments. The project aims to produce evidence-based recommendations for agricultural policy.

Eligibility highlights: a Master 2 in economics is required. Applicants should have solid knowledge of agricultural and/or environmental microeconomics. Interest in participatory or co-constructed research with agroecological stakeholders is valued. Experience in behavioural economics, econometrics, or experimentation is considered an asset.

Funding: the position is fully funded and offers a salary of €2,300 gross per month for 36 months.

Timeline: start date is 1 November 2026 and the application deadline is 16 August 2026.
