Postdoctoral Research Associate – Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in,
salary group E 13 TV-L, full-time
– Institutional dynamics in sustainability transformation / policy and legal analysis –

Starting approximately October 2015, for a duration of up to 3.5 years.
The position is part of a new, transdisciplinary project funded by the State of Lower Saxony and Volkswagen Foundation, entitled:

Leverage Points for Sustainability Transformation: Institutions, People and Knowledge

For details about the project, see www.leveragepoints.org
About the job

This position focuses on processes of institutional change for restructuring food and energy systems in Lower Saxony (DE) and Transylvania (RO) – the ‘RESTRUCTURE‘ component of the Leverage Points project. Addressing dynamics (transformations) in institutional arrangements (rules, regulations and policies), RESTRUCTURE will not only consider institutional innovation and ‘successful‘ institutional arrangements, but will specifically investigate what can be learnt from institutional failure, and assess how purposeful institutional decline could foster sustainability.

Tasks and responsibilities may include:
legal and policy analysis regarding food/agriculture and energy, and its dynamics in a multi-level institutional setting (case study regions, countries, EU);
systematic review and meta-analysis of productive functions of institutional failure and decline for sustainability transformation;
expert interviews with representatives of public policy and administrations in the regions;
study the role of citizen and stakeholder participation in institutional change, such as in citizen financial participation in renewable energy projects.

Person specification
Essential selection criteria:
PhD or equivalent doctoral degree in a field relevant to the analysis of institutional dynamics;
strong publication record relative to opportunity;
highly developed conceptual skills;
excellent written and oral communication skills (English); ability and willingness to work in a large, multi-disciplinary research project;
proven track record in institutional analysis/research, such as from a policy, governance, or legal perspective;
willingness to engage with systems concepts such as path dependency or self-organization.

Additional desirable selection criteria:
previous experience in food/agriculture, and/or energy systems;
experience with sustainability transitions research;
experience with empirical social science methods such as conducting expert interviews.

An additional advantage will be fluency in German or Romanian.
For any questions about the project and the job, please contact Prof. Dr. Jens Newig (newig@uni.leuphana.de) or Prof. Dr. Thomas Schomerus (schomerus@uni.leuphana.de).
