The Department of Sociology, Environmental and Business Economics of the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) is accepting applications for a 6-year tenure-track Assistant Professorposition in applied risk and insurance research. The position is located at the campus in Esbjerg The starting date of the position is August 1st, 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The candidate should have interests that complement the research group, Management and Economics of Resources and the Environment (MERE). The research group profile is available at this website. The focus of the MERE group puts specific emphasis on economic uses of the interlinked biosphere and biophysical systems as well as risk analysis and management.

We expect the applicant to assist in the development of an extramurally funded and inter- /trans- disciplinary research program focused on developing new understandings of applied economics and risk management for sustainable transitions. This will include assisting in building collaborative relationships with local, regional, national and/or international partners.

While the research group mainly consists of economists, the research is often placed in multidisciplinary academic and international environments. Research and teaching activities should strengthen societal engagement in solutions to problems of sustainable development. SDU is actively working to broaden inter- and trans- disciplinary research. In this context, researchers in the MERE group are active participants with leadership roles in Clusters within the Department of Business and Social Science, and the Blue SDU and SDG Collab networks at the university level, and the University of the Arctic and Willis Research Network worldwide that work to foster research connections. They also participate and lead in several EU Consortiums and broader networks.
