Fabian Thomas
Two PhD positions within new DFG-funded, interdisciplinary Research Training Group "Ecological Regime Shifts and Systemic Risk in Coupled Social-Ecological Systems" (ECORISK):
(i) "Participatory Interventions to Foster Cooperation in the Face of Regime Shifts and Systemic Risk": focusses on participatory methods for promoting cooperation and coordination in face of systemic risks by bridging differences and distances between stakeholders. It will adapt existing methods to an online setting and assess the impacts by means of a lab experiment in two countries.
(ii) "Regime Shifts and Human Behavior in Agricultural Systems": a behavioral economic study on the perceptions of regime shifts and associated tipping points of farmers in Germany. The subproject applies a transdisciplinary mixed-method approach by combining qualitative and quantitative research methods. Fluency in German is a strict requirement for this position.

(i) "Participatory Interventions to Foster Cooperation in the Face of Regime Shifts and Systemic Risk": focusses on participatory methods as an approach for promoting cooperation and coordination in face of systemic risks by bridging differences and distances between heterogenous stakeholders. It will adapt existing methods to an online setting and assess the impacts of such methods by means of a lab experiment in two countries.

ECORISK, funded by the German Research Foundation, deals with the systemic risks from crossing ecological tipping points, resulting consequences, as well as governance approaches for addressing such risks. The Research Training Group brings together perspectives from behavioral economics, ecological modelling, environmental systems science, geography, geoinformatics, political science and sociology. The transformation towards a more sustainable agriculture serves as guiding example. The Research Training Group is located at Osnabrück University, whose broad range of outstanding research attracts students and scholars from around the world to a vibrant and livable city rich in tradition and culture. Within ECORISK we currently offer a total of 10 PhD positions (visit the project website for more info), starting October 1, 2024. The two positions detailed above are situated within the Department of Environmental Economics.
