Researcher in Agriculture-Environment Interactions at Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre. Reference number SU FV-0717-14. 

Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre announces a researcher position in

agriculture-environment interactions with focus on agricultural policy, crop

and animal production systems, nutrient management measures and its effects

on the Baltic Sea.

The position is part of a scientific segment in a team together with

communicators, which will provide scientific knowledge to decision makers.

About Baltic Sea Centre and the Baltic Eye

The mission of Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre is to:

~ carry out vital research and environmental analysis to support management,

~ collect useful knowledge and communicate it to the right place in society, and

~ provide attractive infrastructure for marine research and education.

Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre is currently building up  “Baltic

Eye” – a unique combination of science and communication. Seven researchers

will constitute the core scientific staff of this new initiative. Together

with three dedicated communication experts and a wide network of scientists

the Baltic Eye team will improve the knowledge about the Baltic Sea and

describe measures that will help society tackle its marine environmental

problems.

In February 2013, the Baltic Sea Centre formed a strategic partnership with

the BalticSea2020 foundation to form Baltic Eye for action oriented

analysis, synthesis and communication. Stockholm University performs

comprehensive and powerful Baltic Sea research, however, resources for

synthesis and communication are yet not on par with basic research.

Therefore, the foundation allocated 20 million SEK per year for Baltic Eye

over a five-year period. Ample funding is also set aside for top-notch

international workshops, communication events and outreach products to

address important issues that can help to find the best solutions for a

better environmental state of the Baltic Sea.

Qualifications

Specific qualifications required to be considered as a candidate for

employment include at least a PhD within the subject area of the position.

We seek a person with a strong interest and ambition for communication and

outreach, that in close collaboration with others in our research and

communication team can:

~ Strongly communicate research results that have the potential to influence

or form policy decisions for an improved Baltic Sea environment.

~ Develop pro-active communication and policy options for societal choices

and communicate Baltic Sea environmental action challenges and solutions.

~ Lead scientific thematic syntheses including assessments on measures and

solutions and international workshops on environmental Baltic Sea issues, as

well as write scientific publications on these subjects.

~ Develop integrated approaches for environmental management and measures

within the Baltic Sea and its catchment.

~ Assess the implications of the EU Common Agricultural Policy, and other

related directives on environmental management within the Baltic Sea and its

catchment.

Terms of employment

The employment is full-time and permanent with a six-month probationary

period. Start date as soon as possible and as agreed.

Stockholm University strives to be an equal opportunity workplace, free of

discrimination.
