About this position
S.V. Ciriacy-Wantrup Postdoctoral Fellowship in Natural Resource Economics and Political Economy at the University of California, Berkeley supports advanced research in a fellowship environment centered on natural resources broadly defined to include environmental resources.
The award is hosted by the College of Natural Resources / CNR Office of the Dean at UC Berkeley and is designed to foster new and innovative intellectual connections and ideas in natural resource economics and political economy. The program explicitly welcomes policy-oriented work, while emphasizing research that is broadly institutional and/or historical, as well as conceptually and theoretically innovative.
Fellows are expected to pursue an independent research project during their appointment and to engage with the broader Berkeley academic environment. The fellowship page indicates that applicants should explain why support from the fellowship and the opportunity to work at Berkeley are important for the success of the project. Applications from candidates outside UC Berkeley are welcome, including Berkeley doctoral graduates whose proposed work represents a significant change in research direction and engagement with different disciplines and faculty.
The position is a full-time postdoctoral appointment with a salary set according to UC postdoctoral scales. The fellowship is intended to support research at Berkeley for an initial two-year period, with renewal possible depending on performance and available funding.
