不来梅大学行为经济学博士职位（需要硕士学历）

turkeykUID: 208840

The newly established working group "Institutional & Behavioural Economics" at the Centre for Tropical Marine Ecology is looking first for an economist (Master degree or equivalent), who is interested in behavioural economics and is ready to do experiments on environmental awareness of users of coastal resources (reefs and beaches) in the Philippines. Monitoring and enforcement of sustainable behaviour is extremely costly in those ecosystems and therefore, awareness raising measures (e.g. information and infrastructure) might often be more cost-effective instruments then using monetary incentives. We want to test with the help of natural experiments the effectiveness of those instruments.

Second, we are looking for an economist, who wants to do laboratory experiments on cooperative behaviour at the Social Science Lab at Jacobs University. The candidate will analyse adaptation to climate change when resource users face a gradual change vs. a shock in the ecological system they are operating in or when uncertainty increases. The Project is a joint venture with the System Ecology group at ZMT, which is using the experimental data for elaborating the yet existing resource model further.

The PhD candidates will get a three years contract (TVL13/2). The position is a research position and need not involve teaching. The preferred starting date is January 2012 or earlier. The PhD in Economics will be done at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Jacobs University Bremen. If you have basic analytical skills in econometrics, experimental design and empirical research methods, if you can fascinate yourself for an interesting research topic in the area of resource economics and you are happy to work in a team, then you should apply as soon as possible and send us a letter of application (stating for which project you apply), a CV and two letters of recommendation. The positions will be filled as soon as suitable candidates are found.
