The Ecological Economics Group within the School of Computing Science, Business Administration, Economics and Law (Faculty II) at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg invites applications within its DFG-funded project „ADAPT-LOCKIN Climate adaptation policy lock-ins“ for the position of a

Postdoctoral researcher
(wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in)
(100 % - E13 TV-L, for 3 years, starting 1 June 2019)

This major new research project on climate change adaptation is a three-year collaboration between the University of East Anglia, the Dutch Open University and University of Oldenburg (Germany). Each partner is funded by its home country research council, under the Open Research Area in the Social Sciences programme. The project will investigate why societies are currently finding it hard to adapt to climate change. Although adapting to worsening impacts of climate change is one of the biggest global challenges, limited action on the part of public authorities still prevails; institutions, infrastructures, technologies and societal behaviours appear resistant to change. Understanding this gap requires better knowledge of the way societies are governed, going further than current literature's focus on ,barriers to change'. Better explaining what we term ,lock-ins' requires uncovering the dynamics that create and sustain them. That is the aim of this cross-disciplinary study. Taking an empirical, but theoretically reflective, approach, it examines three policy sectors central to climate adaptation - water management, health care, and biodiversity and nature conservation - in three countries: Germany, Netherlands and the UK. Although in principle all three are well equipped to deal with climate adaptation, each is subject to lock-in. The project will use a mixed methods approach to understand why lock-ins arise and persist in each instance, and will employ Qualitative Comparative Analysis to better understand the dynamics of lock-ins as they affect climate adaptation. It will confront observed (in-)action with different approaches for explaining lock-ins, advance conceptual and empirical understanding of how lock-ins emerge and endure, and use the findings to provide informed recommendations for the design of more effective adaptation policies.
The successful applicant will be joining the Ecological Economics Group. Within the project, his or her responsibilities include creating a conceptual framework for analysing infrastructural aspects of climate change adaptation, selecting case studies, empirical data gathering for the German cases across water management, health care, and biodiversity and nature conservation sectors, data management and preparation for data sharing, synthesising empirical results, and contributing to communication, dissemination and transdisciplinary conference.
Required skills and experience:
  • Academic university degree (master's degree or equivalent) in a social science discipline including economics
  • PhD (or equivalent) in a thematically-related discipline
  • Significant previous research experience
  • Knowledge and experience in empirical research methods, preferably including Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)
  • Substantial record of relevant scientific publications including working papers
  • Ability for and willingness to work in a multidisciplinary, international team and to communicate with external partners
  • Very good command of spoken and written English
  • Good IT skills in Microsoft Office programmes
  • Excellent report writing and presentation skills
  • Good time management and organisational skills
