Postdoc: Barriers to and motivations for practices reversing biodiversity decline

We announce a postdoc opportunity at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences:

A social scientific investigation on factors that keep pollinator-unfriendly practices in place.

We reach out to applicants who would like to take part in revealing why practices of natural resource management that threaten biodiversity remain in place despite evidence and direction provided by science and policy. We invite applications for research on barriers to and motivations for societal transition towards management of natural resources that reverses decline of biodiversity, in particular pollinating insects. The project is a close collaboration between social scientists and ecologists and provides an ideal opportunity to develop your inter- and transdisciplinary research capacity.

The position is based at the Department of Ecology of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala https://www.slu.se and is in close collaboration with the Department of Urban and Rural Development SLU. The postdoc will join an interdisciplinary team of social and natural scientists including René van der Wal, Klara Fischer, Riccardo Bommarco and others.
