<span>Dear colleagues,</span><br>
<span> </span><br>
<span>We're excited to announce that the Global Landscapes Initiative is hiring one or more postdoctoral research fellows to study how the connections between land use change, agriculture, and the environment affect risks to the global
food system. Our research group of 10+ people draws on a broad set of skills to identify solutions to major global challenges, publish research in high-profile academic journals, and offers great opportunities for interdisciplinary work. The research is highly
collaborative both within the team, with other research groups at the Institute on the Environment, and with other leading academic and non-profit institutions. The Global Landscapes Initiative is part of the Institute on the Environment, which broadly addresses
challenges at the nexus of energy, food, and water.</span><br>
<span> </span><br>
<span> </span><br>
<span>Potential research areas include:</span></span><u></u><u></u></p>
