About this position
Open PhD position in Project B02 of the FoodDiverse Collaborative Research Center at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. The project focuses on agri-environmental policy and food policy effects on food system diversity, with a particular interest in how public- and private-sector policies shape agricultural diversity and farm performance in Ghana and Germany.
The advertised PhD topic is especially relevant for candidates interested in environmental economics, agricultural economics, causal inference, spatial data, and remote sensing. The broader CRC combines micro-data from farms, households, and individuals with remote sensing and regional/global modeling. In B02, the research examines how policies may influence land use and production diversity, including potential unintended effects.
Jan Börner is the announcer and professor for Economics of Sustainable Land Use & Bioeconomy at Bonn. The FoodDiverse CRC is a large interdisciplinary research program funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), with doctoral and postdoctoral positions across multiple projects. The post is part of a wider research environment involving Bonn, the University of Ghana, and several related projects in sustainable food systems.
Eligibility highlights: strong background in environmental/agricultural economics; interest in causal inference with spatial data and remote sensing products. No additional requirements are stated in the provided text.
Application window: applications are welcome until 14 June 2026.
How to apply: visit the FoodDiverse website, open the application portal linked at the bottom of the page, and follow the instructions for the CRC position. Review the project description carefully before submitting your application.
