Dear German,
Here is your weekly ISEE News in Review.
Three fully-funded 3.5 years Leverhulme PhDs are available to UK/EU candidatesThe Living Well Within Limits (LiLi) project is an ambitious interdisciplinary programme, addressing crucial but understudied questions: What are the biophysical resources, more specifically energy, required to achieve human well-being? What influence do social and technical provisioning systems have on the levels of resource use associated with well-being? The LiLi project’s ambitious aim is to construct the conceptual and methodological framework upon which this type of research can be carried forward, and to apply it using both quantitative and qualitative methods to analyse and model the energy requirements of well-being. The LiLi project is based on an innovative framework (shown below), integrating biophysical resource use, the social and physical provisioning systems which draw up on these resources as inputs, and the social outcomes which depend upon them.

Postdoctoral Fellow, Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3)The Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) opens a competitive call for applications for a Postdoctoral contract associated to the H2020 Transrisk (Transitions pathways and risk analysis for climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies). TRANSrisk will create a framework in which risks and uncertainties are integral to the assessment of how climate change mitigation affects the overall economic, social and environmental well-being of society. development. One of the innovative aspects of TRANSrisk is that multiple stakeholders will be engaged in the entire research process. BC3 will contribute to this project by assessing the synergies and conflicts associated to different types of energy and climate policies. The applicants will have expertise on energy and climate change economics and policy, especially on the renewable energy sector in Spain and in the European Union. For the complete post click here.
