*Postdoctoral fellowship announcement - Environmental Sciences/Earth System
Science*

A postdoctoral fellowship is offered at the Brazilian National Institute
for Space Research (INPE), São Jose dos Campos, SP, Brazil, to analyze
social dynamics and conduct participatory processes to build plausible and
desirable scenarios and indicators, conceived from the perspective of a
“vision of a sustainable future” and the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals in the Brazilian Caatinga and Cerrado biomes, as part of
the Nexus project “*Transition to sustainability and the
water-agriculture-energy nexus: exploring an integrative approach Cerrado e
Caatinga biomes study cases” * (http://nexus.ccst.inpe.br). The selected
candidate will have a central role in this integrative and
interdisciplinary project, involving several research centers and
universities.

Activities include literature review, followed by field study to identify:
important actors and conflicts in the water-agriculture-energy nexus, power
relations and possible limits on participation in different contexts and
geographical scales. These, later, will subsidize the realization of
workshops of scenarios and participatory indicators on multiple scales.



We seek professionals with a doctorate degree and knowledge in Social
Sciences / Human Ecology or related areas, fundamentally valuing previous
experience with participatory approaches, analysis of socio-environmental
dynamics and/or construction of scenarios in socio-ecological systems. The
opportunity is open to citizens of all nationalities, with a doctoral
degree obtained less than 7 years ago.
