Postdoc Position Available @ Nieuwe Universiteitsgebouw (NU): Agent-based modelling for revitalised Dutch peatlands
Do you have experience with agent-based modelling? Do you have interest in sustainable land management, and are you keen to contribute to societally relevant research? Are you interested in working in a multidisciplinary environment? Then we are looking for you!
We are hiring a postdoc for the transdisciplinary VeenVitaal project (https://veenvitaal.info/). The project aims to contribute to revitalised peatlands in The Netherlands, and you will contribute to this by: (1) designing socio-economic-ecological scenarios in which peatland farmers and other land managers transition to nature-inclusive farm and land management practices, and (2) build an agent-based model to explore the consequences of such scenarios in terms of behaviour, land management and ecosystem services (e.g. biodiversity, carbon emissions, water quality). For this, you will make use of the wide variety of already available resources, e.g. the insights obtained from the various VeenVitaal work packages, the knowledge and experiences from the wide variety of societal actors represented in our consortium, and the work of a PhD student who will conduct a choice experiment on farmer preferences and incentives for alternative ways of managing their land. You will be supervised by Dr. Mark Koetse (VU-IVM) and Dr. Natalie Davis (VU-IVM).
