| PhD student ESS-CC for "Improving climate projections" Wageningen University is looking for an ambitious PhD-student Earth System Sciences to work in a collaborative project within the Knowledge for Climate funded programme "Improving climate projections". The aim of this programme is to provide high-quality information on regional climate in The Netherlands, now and in the future, for developing national and regional adaptation strategies. The PhD project is part of a sub-programme dealing with mechanisms of local impacts on weather, climate and climate change. Specifically, the question will be addressed as to how the land surface and small-scale atmospheric dynamical processes interact to shape our future climate.

| AIO Milieu-economie en Natuurlijke Hulpbronnen (job application has been expired) De Wageningen UR Leerstoelgroep Milieu-economie en Natuurlijke Hulpbronnen behorend bij het departement Maatschappijwetenschappen verricht theoretisch en toegepast onderzoek naar oplossingen voor milieuproblemen en het duurzaam gebruik van energie en grondstoffen. Voor het door het Kennis voor Klimaat gefinancierde onderzoekgetiteld "Tools for adaptation strategies" zijn wij op zoek naar een promovendus (m/v). Wageningen UR, Monday 30 August 2010 | |
| PhD Knowledge for Climate - Climate proofing Urban Areas (job application has been expired) The objective of this PhD research is to define how natural landscapes help Dutch cities to adapt to the effects of the expected climate change. The research will be carried out within the framework of the Dutch Knowledge for Climate research program. Wageningen University, Thursday 22 July 2010 | |
PhD position Economic Freshwater Resource Modeling f/m (job application has been expired) Climate change has important implications for the stock and flows of freshwater resources. A significant share of the Dutch economy depends on the availability of these freshwater resources. The main objective of the PhD study is to develop an integrated economic model to support policy and decision-making towards economically efficient water allocation across different water users and river basins. This project is part of the KfC research program “Tools to support adaptation to climate change”. VU University Amsterdam, Thursday 20 May 2010 | |
| PhD position Economic Flood Damage Modeling f/m (job application has been expired) How do flood risks impact behavior of firms and households and regional economic development? The approach will be to combine the RAEM E3 CGE-model with modeling approaches based on evolutionary economic concepts such as multi agent modeling to arrive at an integrated model framework for pre-flood and post-flood behavior of economic agents. This project is part of the KfC research program “Tools to support adaptation to climate change”. VU University Amsterdam, Thursday 20 May 2010 | |
| PhD position Interactive land use planning f/m (job application has been expired) Adaptation and spatial planning have become increasingly interrelated. As a result, land use change plays a central role in the development of adaptation strategies. Within this project the relevant decision processes will be described and tools will be developed to support map related tasks within the negotiation process. This project is part of the KfC research program “Tools to support adaptation to climate change”. VU University Amsterdam, Thursday 20 May 2010 | |
| Postdoc Global Land Use Modelling (job application has been expired) For this postdoc project the specific objective is to create a new, innovative, method for land-use modelling at global scale based on a high-resolution representation of land use systems. This conceptual model should potentially benefit multiple integrated assessment models. The researcher will build a new global scale land use model and parameterize this model based on a global level land use systems classification. VU Amsterdam - IVM, Tuesday 4 May 2010 | |
