Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) is offering a PhD position in Ecosystem Services, working at UFZ/iDiv in the ESuDis project within the DFG Biodiversity Exploratories project, led by Dr. Maria Felipe-Lucia in collaboration with Prof. Berta Martin-Lopez, Leuphana University of Lüneburg.
This project investigates the relationships between natural and anthropogenic capital on the supply of ecosystem services, and on the use and demand by different stakeholders, in order to understand its effects on the distribution of ecosystem services among stakeholders at multiple spatial scales. Using a transdisciplinary approach, the successful candidate will use a combination of tools to conduct social-ecological research in three sites across a gradient of land use intensity in Germany, including social surveys and stakeholder analysis, as well as synthesis of ecological data.
Application deadline: 10 February 2020
