The climate needs bright minds. The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) addresses crucial scientific questions in the fields of global change, climate impacts and sustainable development. It is one of the world's leading research institutions in its field and offers natural and social scientists from around the world an inspiring environment for excellent interdisciplinary research.
For the research domain Climate Economics and Policy, led by Prof. Sabine Fuss and Prof. Matthias Kalkuhl, located at EUREF Campus in Berlin-Schöneberg, PIK is offering a position as a
Postdoctoral researcher in Economics (m/f/d)
(Position number: 14-2025 Postdoc Spatial Equilibrium)
in the field of spatial equilibrium modeling, starting on 01.08.2025.
The position is initially funded for 18 months, with the possibility of extension conditional on further third-party funding. Remuneration is in accordance with the German public tariff scheme (TV-L Brandenburg), salary group E 13. This is a full-time position with a weekly working time of 40 hours per week. The position can be filled on a part-time basis.
Background: Addressing climate change and biodiversity loss requires a deep understanding of global land-use dynamics and the economic trade-offs involved. We aim to develop and apply an economic spatial equilibrium model to explore these issues. The model will focus on global land use, with a particular emphasis on the provision of global public goods such as carbon dioxide removal and storage, forest conservation, and biodiversity preservation. While the initial focus will be on tropical forest regions, the model will maintain a global scope to capture international interactions, such as the demand for agricultural products from regions like the EU. This research will inform the design of effective and equitable environmental policies.
