<a href="http://www.su.se/ostersjocentrum/english/">Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre</a>
announces a researcher position in agriculture-environment interactions
with focus on agricultural policy, crop and animal production systems,
nutrient management measures and its effects on the Baltic Sea.</p>
<p>
The position is part of a scientific segment in a team together with
communicators, which will provide scientific knowledge to decision
makers.<br>
<br>
<strong>About Baltic Sea Centre and the Baltic Eye</strong><br>
The mission of Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre is to:</p>
<ul><li>
carry out vital research and environmental analysis to support management,</li><li>
collect useful knowledge and communicate it to the right place in society and</li><li>
provide attractive infrastructure for marine research and education.</li></ul>
<p>
Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre is currently building up “<a href="http://www.su.se/ostersjocentrum/english/analysis/international/baltic-eye/baltic-eye-puts-the-baltic-sea-on-the-agenda-1.152120">Baltic Eye</a>”
– a unique combination of science and communication. Seven researchers
will constitute the core scientific staff of this new initiative.
Together with three dedicated communication experts and a wide network
of scientists the Baltic Eye team will improve the knowledge about the
Baltic Sea and describe measures that will help society tackle its
marine environmental problems.</p>
<p>
In February 2013, the Baltic Sea Centre formed a strategic partnership
with the BalticSea2020 foundation to form Baltic Eye for action oriented
analysis, synthesis and communication. Stockholm University performs
comprehensive and powerful Baltic Sea research, however, resources for
synthesis and communication are yet not on par with basic research.
Therefore, the foundation allocated 20 million SEK per year for Baltic
Eye over a five-year period. Ample funding is also set aside for
top-notch international workshops, communication events and outreach
products to address important issues that can help to find the best
solutions for a better environmental state of the Baltic Sea.<br>
<br>
<strong>Qualifications</strong><br>
Specific qualifications required to be considered as a candidate for
employment include at least a PhD within the subject area of the
position. We seek a person with a strong interest and ambition for
communication and outreach, that in close collaboration with others in
our research and communication team can:</p>
<ul><li>
strongly communicate research results that have the potential to
influence or form policy decisions for an improved Baltic Sea
environment.</li><li>
develop pro-active communication and policy options for societal
choices and communicate Baltic Sea environmental action challenges and
solutions.</li><li>
lead scientific thematic syntheses including assessments on measures
and solutions and international workshops on environmental Baltic Sea
issues, as well as write scientific publications on these subjects.</li><li>
develop integrated approaches for environmental management and measures within the Baltic Sea and its catchment.</li><li>
assess the implications of the EU Common Agricultural Policy, and
other related directives on environmental management within the Baltic
Sea and its catchment.</li></ul>
<p>
<br>
<strong>Terms of employment</strong><br>
The employment is full-time and permanent with a six-month probationary period. Start date as soon as possible and as agreed.</p>

Stockholm University strives to be an equal opportunity workplace, free of discrimination.<br>
