<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Tel Aviv University’s Porter School of the Environment and Earth Sciences is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to participate in ongoing analyses that support fast action on methane. The researcher will work with a team including
members at Duke University (USA) to identify policies that work along with implementation barriers for individual mitigation options, bringing those together with national mitigation potentials to catalyze progress at the national level.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The position will be supervised by Prof. Colin Price and Prof. Drew Shindell (<span style="color:#0260BF">https://www.flash.sites.tau.ac.il/</span>;

). The researcher will conduct detailed analyses of current emissions intensities (emissions per unit of activity) in the coal, agriculture (livestock and rice) and waste sectors. The researcher will then study the best-performing countries to evaluate the
regulatory and policy approaches that have been used to achieve their high performance levels. The work will also examine financial barriers to implementation and potential ways to overcome them.
