Dear friends and colleagues,
Please help me circulate this postdoc position to any interested parties

emphasis on qualitative research, and a tie-in to a larger mixed methods
project (described below). The position will be based in the Indian School
of Business, Hyderabad, with a fairly extensive commitment to fieldwork in
the Himalayas (Himachal Pradesh & Nepal), and we are looking for someone
comfortable working in Hindi. I am a collaborator on the project, however
please direct enquiries to Harry Fischer (harry.fischer@xxxxxx) or
Sangeetha Hariharan (Sangeetha_Hariharan@xxxxxxx) for further information,
as they are coordinating the hiring. We will begin reviewing applications
on *July 7*.
Thanks,
Forrest
Position: Postdoctoral Fellow – “Institutional networks and self-organized
adaptation: Tracing the democratic architectures of climate response”
Location: Indian School of Business, Hyderabad
Position Description:
We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work on the project
“Institutional networks and self-organized adaptation: Tracing the
democratic architectures of climate response”, a multi-collaborator effort
led by Harry Fischer (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences), Forrest
Fleischman (University of Minnesota), Dil Khatri (South Asian Institute of
Advanced Studies), and Ashwini Chhatre (Indian School of Business). The
project aims to study how individuals, households, and communities access
state support mechanisms to confront climate risk and change, and the
political channels that enable (and often preclude) their success. We seek
an early-career scholar with training in humanistic social sciences or
interdisciplinary development studies. The ideal candidate would have
experience conducting intensive qualitative fieldwork with a focus on rural
livelihoods and the politics of government service delivery coupled with
knowledge of the South Asian context and comfort working in Hindi. Some
familiarity with quantitative methods would be desirable. The postdoctoral
fellow would be expected to spend at least 12 months in the field in
Northern India (Himachal Pradesh) and Nepal. We wish to involve the
postdoctoral fellow as a collaborator in developing the larger project,
while also giving them a significant role in defining the research that
they wish to focus their attention on.
For more information on the project, please see:

Employment and Institutional Affiliations:
The postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to work in collaboration
with the larger research team led by Harry Fischer. However, their primary
affiliation will be the Indian School of Business on their Hyderabad
campus, where they will work under the direct supervision of Prof. Ashwini
Chhatre. ISB is a leading management education institution in India, with
an active portfolio of research on environment and development issues,
including the Digital Identity Research Initiative
<http://diri.isb.edu/about-the-initiative/> and an active Forest Governance
<http://forestgov.isb.edu/about-us/> research program. ISB's campus in
Hyderabad provides state-of-the-art facilities for research and houses more
than 150 faculty and researchers across disciplines. The postdoc will also
maintain close contract with the Nepal research team led by Dil Khatri,
based at the Southasia Institute of Advanced Studies
<https://www.sias-southasia.org/>.
Appointment details:
The position will start in September 2019. It is expected to last for two
years, and we hope to offer one additional year of support, contingent upon
performance and funding. Remuneration for this position is competitive, and
the position also includes funding for international conferences (1 per
year) and travel support for fieldwork.
The position is ideal for someone who wants to focus their attention on
developing a new research project as part of an interdisciplinary research
team, with generous support for intensive fieldwork.
For further information, do not hesitate to contact:
Harry Fischer – harry.fischer@xxxxxx or

To apply:
We will begin reviewing applications on* July 7 *on a rolling basis until
the position is filled. Please send the following to harry.fischer@xxxxxx:

interest in the position, your CV, and contact information for 3 references.
