Deadline Friday, March 10, 2023
Start Date Monday, May 1, 2023
THE POSITION
IBF is offering a research position in the integrated modeling of resource use and environmental impacts to advance the understanding and development of land and water use systems compatible with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and planetary boundaries. Within a vibrant multi-disciplinary research team, the successful candidate will consolidate and expand the representation in the iBIOM integrated modeling platform around the GLOBIOM model of the environmental impacts (e.g., GHG, nutrient and water cycles, biodiversity), safe boundaries (e.g., level of pressures compatible with planetary boundaries) and contributions to people (e.g., material, regulation and non-material contributions) associated with the management of the land and freshwater resources for the agriculture, forestry, bioenergy and aquaculture sectors.
MAIN TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Contribute to methodological and structural development of the GLOBIOM model and the iBIOM integrated modeling platform, through interfacing biophysical, biodiversity and economic models
Apply the GLOBIOM and iBIOM integrated modeling platform in the context of research and policy projects
Publish relevant results in peer-reviewed journals and participate in scientific conferences and workshops
Contribute to project deliverables, reports, stakeholder communication.
