Dear friends and colleagues,
I am pleased to announce two new PhD positions at Leuphana University with
Joern Fischer, Jannik Schultner and myself (see below for summaries of the two
positions and links to the full advertisements). I would be very grateful if
you could spread the call to your networks.
(Apologies for cross postings)
Regards
Dave
We are excited to advertise two PhD positions in our new interdisciplinary
project entitled “ETH-Coffee – Towards a sustainable bioeconomy: a scenario
analysis for the Jimma coffee landscape in Ethiopia”. The project will analyze
the flow of ecosystem services in the rural landscapes of southwestern Ethiopia
under different future scenarios. Specifically, the project will quantify both
local and distant benefits generated by ecosystem services; it will identify
who benefits from these different services; their impacts on biodiversity
conservation; and will examine which stakeholders have an interest in and
influence on different ecosystem services. The PhD positions will be based at
Leuphana (in Germany), with fieldwork in Ethiopia.
PhD 1: Ecology and biodiversity conservation Tasks and responsibilities for
this PhD position will include: (1) The generation of spatially explicit maps
of land use, for four pre-existing socio-economic land use scenarios; (2)
Biodiversity modelling based on the results of the scenario land use maps; (3)
Natural capital mapping and conservation planning using the INVEST program.

PhD 2: Flows of ecosystem services Tasks and responsibilities for this PhD
position will include: (1) Spatially explicit identification of ecosystem
service beneficiaries; (2) Spatial modelling of value flows resulting from four
pre-existing socio-economic land use scenarios; (3) Disaggregation of
(telecoupled) ecosystem service benefits. Full details and instructions for how
to apply are available here:
