The International Center for Climate Governance (ICCG - www.iccgov.org) - a think tank focusing its activities on climate policy design and governance - is calling for applications for a six-month visiting research position for PhD Students or Post Docs. Research activities will be carried out in the ICCG’s offices, based on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy.
ICCG research is characterised by an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together experts in different fields such as policy, history, architecture, natural sciences. The crucial common denominator is the focus on the integration of the social, political, cultural and economic dimensions of climate change.
The successful applicant will be encouraged to develop his research project linked to the following aspects of climate change governance:
the role of institutions, interests, and alternative models of governance for the control of climate change;
the evaluation of climate and energy policies at international and national level;
best practices tackling climate change;
climate change and energy poverty;
climate change in the Arctic marine area;
climate change and health.
During the visiting period, the researcher is also expected to hold seminars and to contribute to the ICCG publications (http://www.iccgov.org/publications/publications.htm(opens in new window)).
ICCG offers a truly international and interdisciplinary workplace. The strong ties with a world-wide network of research institutions engaged in the analysis of climate change issues under different perspectives allows a continuous fruitful exchange of experiences. A full range of the ICCG activities is available at http://www.iccgov.org(opens in new window).
