Job/Professional Opportunities
- IATRC/OCE - Research Fellow
IATRC/OCE invites applications for an exciting IATRC Research Fellow (Senior Research Associate) specializing in economic analysis of agricultural markets and policy. The successful candidate will work closely with senior economists within OCE and lead researchers at the Center for Agricultural Trade at Virginia Tech to conduct domestic and global economic policy analysis of emerging issues relevant to agricultural industries and USDA/OCE.Deadline: 12/1/2024 - OECD - Trade Modeller
The Analysis, Data and Modelling Division (ADM) is recruiting a Trade Modeller to undertake empirical and qualitative analysis of trade issues, including using the OECD global computable general equilibrium model METRO. The selected candidate will contribute to the maintenance and development of the model as well as to analytical studies that examine trade policies which involve a mix of quantitative analysis, policy-orientated research and drafting and data collection. S/he will assume a key role in the METRO team and will contribute to the continued development of the METRO model and database, its use in various analyses within the Directorate and across OECD, and capacity building, as well as to the various reports not exclusively based on computable general equilibrium modelling, produced by the Directorate.Deadline: 12/4/2024 - Univ of Hohenheim - Post-doc Researcher
The Department of Ecological-Economic Policy Modelling at the University of Hohenheim is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in ecological-economic modeling. In this role, you will be part of the BEATLE project, focusing on the synergies and trade-offs between organic and conventional agriculture and their interplay with biodiversity, particularly pollination services. Your work will be crucial in advancing research that informs the future of sustainable agri-food systems. Preferred starting date is February 1st 2025, initially until June 30th 2027, with the possibility of an extension.Deadline: 12/10/2024 - Purdue - Post-doctoral Research Associate
This position is part of a newly awarded USDA Sustainable Agricultural Systems project that aims to translate soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration science and farmer behavior into actionable strategies for increasing SOC storage in agricultural fields across the Midwestern Corn Belt (MWCB). Reporting to Professor Thomas Hertel, in the Department of Agricultural Economics, the Post-Doctoral Research Associate will work within an interdisciplinary team to design tailored carbon incentives promoting CSAP adoption and to analyze the trade-offs and synergies of this adoption on food production and water quality, with a focus on land and water resources in agriculture. The economic modeling undertaken by this individual will be spatially explicit and seeks to characterize economic and biophysical relationships at the level of individual grid cells, all nested within a global economic model. Current research in this group is focused on land cover change, water scarcity, nitrate leaching, food security, agricultural productivity, climate change, biodiversity and international trade. The selected applicant will be responsible for gathering and reconciling gridded data for the MWCB region, building a new version of the SIMPLE-G model for this project (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-68054-0). The successful applicant will validate the model and ensure that it communicates effectively with the other components of this project, also publishing papers. In addition, the post-doc will work with project leadership to implement and test a dashboard for communication of SIMPLE-G results to stakeholders.Deadline: 3/15/2025
