About this position
This postdoctoral position at Aarhus University is based in the Department of Environmental Science and linked to the Environmental Social Science and Geography research unit at Risø Campus in Roskilde. The project is part of the Horizon Europe initiative BALANCE and sits at the intersection of environmental science, economics, and policy-oriented research.
The postdoctoral fellow will work on an interdisciplinary, EU-wide study of how nature restoration and nature-positive farming systems can support biodiversity and farming. The core task is to assess the short-, medium-, and long-term costs and benefits of different restoration measures across farming systems, with attention to farm income, farm productivity, and farm production. A further part of the work is to develop methods for scaling these findings up to the EU level.
The role is embedded in a research environment that combines economics, policy analysis, social science, geography, and other natural-science disciplines. The selected candidate will collaborate with researchers and stakeholders across the project, contributing to interdisciplinary analysis that connects environmental change, land management, ecosystem services, and agricultural decision-making. The department also carries out both basic and applied research relevant to broader societal challenges, and its findings are used in advisory services and teaching.
The position offers a collaborative international environment with strong links across disciplines and an emphasis on open discussion, research exchange, and professional development.
