Technical University of Munich (TUM) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher in Sectoral and Integrated Modelling of Climate, Resources and Economic Policy at the Chair of Agricultural Production and Resource Economics in Freising-Weihenstephan, Germany.
The position sits at the intersection of agricultural economics, environmental science, economics, and statistics, with a strong quantitative and policy-analysis focus.

The role also offers the chance to develop an independent research agenda, help shape future research proposals, and contribute to teaching activities.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a strong background in agricultural, environmental, resource, climate, food, or sustainability economics, or a related quantitative discipline, together with demonstrated expertise in modelling and policy analysis.
Contract and deadline: 1.5-year contract with the possibility of extension. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with a stated deadline of 15 October 2026.
