Postdoc Positions in Ecological Macroeconomics

Two 3-year Postdoc Positions in Ecological Macroeconomics at the University of Barcelona

We are looking for two postdoctoral researchers to work on an exciting new Horizon Europe project entitled “Towards a Sustainable Well-being Economy: Integrated Policies and Transformative Indicators”.

The two postdoctoral researchers will help develop a novel ecological macroeconomic model that will include a wide range of indicators of human well-being and environmental sustainability, in addition to conventional macroeconomic variables. The indicators to be modelled will draw upon the “Doughnut” of social and planetary boundaries. The model will be used to assess different policy packages aimed at achieving a sustainable post-growth economy.

The ISEE Journal, Ecological Economics

The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between «nature’s household» (ecosystems) and «humanity’s household» (the economy).

Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics.

The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership.
