This is an exciting postdoctoral opportunity to be part of an ambitious research and engagement programme on one of the most high-profile environmental issues. The postdoctoral position is 100% research. The successful post holder will demonstrate a strong track record in environmental economics or similar discipline, such as business, finance, or law.

Providing sufficient financial resources and prioritisation is among the greatest challenges facing nature recovery. As a Senior Research Associate for Nature Recovery Finance you will be working with a team of multidisciplinary researchers to conceptualise, develop and scale a financial architecture that can sustainably resource nature recovery at the scale required.

In addition to this work, you will work on:
a) how to design and pilot technologies and tools that are able to reduce information asymmetries between providers of capital seeking investment opportunities and nature recovery projects and programmes

b) develop approaches for assessing how to optimise the use of public and philanthropic funding to leverage private funding and finance into nature recovery

c) designing markets and contracts can could support nature recovery finance.

Reporting to Alexander Teytelboym, one of the Co-Investigators in the Leverhulme Centre, the post holder is an emerging leader in their field, and brings to the post demonstrable research and teaching skills and expertise in environmental economics.

This is a fixed term for 36 months, with possibility of 24 months extension (externally funded with the possibility of extension based on funding).

Applications should be made via Econjobmarket and include a CV, a job market paper, a short supporting statement, together with the names and contact details of (at least) tree referees.
