As part of CIFOR's global comparative REDD project (component 3 on reference levels and MRV), candidates are sought for a 2-4 year post doctoral position at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. We are looking for someone with a PhD in economics, environment or forestry who is familiar with quantitative methods. The person will develop models for predicting deforestation and forest degradation, organise and participate in data collection and test these models in project sites and at the national level in selected project countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Depending on interest, the person might also get involved in other REDD topics covered by the project.

The person will be based in Norway, but some travel is expected. The application deadline is 19 October. The complete announcement, including how to apply for the position, is available at: https://secure.jobbnorge.no/
