Charlotte Cavaille

This postdoctoral position is based at the Toulouse School of Economics, within the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and is led by Charlotte Cavaille , Professor of Political Science. The project sits at the intersection of the political economy of climate risk, insurance, and redistribution. The successful candidate will work on research questions about how climate change is reshaping insurance markets and the politics surrounding them, with particular attention to the distribution of climate-related risks, the affordability and availability of insurance, public and private ways of pooling risk, regulation of insurance markets, climate finance, and the distributive effects of different insurance arrangements. The research project will be developed jointly with the principal investigator, and the postdoctoral researcher is encouraged to bring their own research interests and ideas as long as they fit broadly within climate finance. The role is embedded in an active and diverse IAST post-doctoral environment alongside fellows working across evolutionary anthropology, psychology, economics, and quantitative sociology.
