Do you want to research natural hazard events and their impact on climate policy and sustainable development, supported by competent and friendly colleagues in an international environment? Are you looking for an employer that invests in employee development and offers favorable working conditions? You are welcome to apply for a postdoctoral position in the Department of Political Science at Uppsala University.

Duties
The Postdoctoral Researcher position is located within the research project "Enabling climate-resilient development: How disasters can act as a pathway to a safer and more sustainable world", with funding from the Marcus and Marianne Wallenberg Foundation and the Centre of Natural Hazards and Disaster Science (CNDS). We study whether and how disaster events alter countries' policies for climate mitigation, adaptation, and sustainable development. The candidate will conduct research (80%) within the project, including data preparation, statistical analyses and co-authoring scientific articles. The candidate is expected to participate in the activities of CNDS, primarily research seminars.

Requirements
PhD in political science, economics, or another subject that the employer deems relevant. The degree needs to be obtained by the time of the decision of employment. Those who have obtained a PhD degree three years prior to the application deadline are primarily considered for the employment. The starting point of the two-year frame period is the application deadline. Due to special circumstances, the degree may have been obtained earlier. The three-year period can be extended due to circumstances such as sick leave, parental leave, duties in labour unions, etc.

The candidate must have solid experience in quantitative methods and good skills in statistical analysis software such as R, and text mining tools such as Python. Experience from conducting empirical research in public policy, environmental politics, international relations, disaster science, and/or any related area is a strong merit. As the research is conducted in an international environment and scientific articles will be written in English, the ability to communicate in English (spoken and written) at a high level is an absolute requirement. Since the position includes 20% teaching, the postdoctoral fellow must also be able to teach political science and supervise degree thesis work. Teaching experience is a requirement.
