Department of Economics The Department of Economics at SLU is now seeking a postdoctoral researcher in applied economics with a strong interest in decision-making within the food sector and sustainability-related challenges. About the Position The position is located within the research group Decision-Making and Management and offers the opportunity to develop and lead an independent research agenda in applied economics. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to and collaborate in ongoing research activities within the group while developing their own research ideas in line with the group's overall direction. The research group employs a broad spectrum of applied economic methods, including laboratory and survey-based experiments, field experiments, randomized controlled trials, and analysis of observational data. The research also includes methodological contributions related to consumer behavior, preference analysis, and decision-making under various information and institutional conditions. Research in the group is primarily grounded in economics and business economics, but is also conducted in collaboration with researchers from other disciplines. The successful candidate is expected to work independently and take an active role in developing new research projects and collaborations. At the same time, the position requires active participation in the research environment through collaboration, joint idea development, and contributions to the research group's and department's activities. Teaching may be included in the position, up to 20%. Your Background A doctoral degree in economics or a closely related field must be completed before employment begins. If the doctoral degree has not yet been completed at the time of application, the planned dissertation date should be indicated in the application. The doctoral degree must have been completed no more than three years before the employment start date. We are seeking candidates with a strong interest in applied microeconomic research related to decision-making within the food sector. Relevant research areas include consumer behavior, farmer decision-making, behavioral economics, food and agricultural policy, and related areas within applied economics. Applicants should have experience with experimental methods and/or empirical analysis of observational data with a focus on causal inference. Experience with methods such as laboratory or survey-based experiments, randomized controlled trials, scanner or purchase data, and causal econometric analysis is particularly meritorious. Methodological research related to experiments, decision-making, and preference analysis is also relevant for the position. To succeed in this role, documented experience in conducting high-quality research and strong analytical skills are required. The successful candidate should be able to work independently, formulate and lead their own research agenda, and actively contribute to collaborative research environments. We place great emphasis on the ability to initiate new research ideas, collaborate constructively with colleagues, and contribute to the research group's and department's intellectual environment. A strong publication record relative to career stage is considered meritorious. Excellent ability to communicate in English, both orally and in writing, is a requirement.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Air-Sea-Ice Interactions
The Department of Earth Sciences is Sweden's most comprehensive academic environment for research and education in geoscience. Here you will find broad expertise that contributes to solutions for important societal challenges. Earth is a dynamic planet that is constantly changing. To understand how our planet works, our researchers seek answers in the field, through laboratory experiments, and advanced models. Our research and education cover many different areas: rocks and minerals, weather and climate, the evolution of life, natural disasters, wind power and energy, environmental and water engineering, and sustainable development. Our research combines natural science and engineering with social science and is often interdisciplinary. The department employs over 300 people from more than 30 countries, both in Uppsala and at Campus Gotland. Our six research divisions: • Geophysics • Air, Water and Landscape Science • Mineralogy, Petrology and Tectonics • Natural Resources and Sustainable Development • Paleobiology • Wind Energy For more information, see: https://www.uu.se/institution/geovetenskaper The successful candidate for this position will be employed at the Air, Water and Landscape Science (LUVAL) program at the Department of Earth Sciences. Responsibilities Turbulent flows at the air–sea–ice interface in the marginal ice zone (MIZ)—the transition zone between open water and pack ice—are critical for polar weather, ecosystems, and climate on both local and global scales. The presence of sea ice floes, varying in size from centimeters to hundreds of kilometers, creates an exceptionally heterogeneous surface with varying roughness and temperature profiles. These characteristics significantly affect momentum and heat fluxes across the air–sea–ice interface and other processes. Despite this importance, our understanding of turbulent flows at the interface in the MIZ remains fragmented and poorly represented in current weather and climate models. The postdoctoral project will focus on: implementing new turbulent parameterizations for the marginal ice zone (MIZ) in Earth system models (regional or global), and assessing the impact of MIZ processes on polar extreme cyclones and their broader consequences for polar climate. Requirements PhD in atmospheric or ocean science, or a related field, or a foreign degree assessed as equivalent to a PhD in the above subject. The degree must be completed by the time the employment decision is made. Preferably, the degree should have been completed no more than three years before the application deadline. If there are special circumstances, the degree may have been completed earlier. Special circumstances include leave due to illness, parental leave, positions of trust within trade union organizations, etc. Documented experience with numerical modeling, preferably with tools such as WRF, EC-Earth, or sea ice models. Strong competence in scientific programming and computational modeling. Ability to independently drive research projects while actively contributing to collaboration in international and interdisciplinary research teams. Merits Good knowledge of Linux/Unix environments and strong expertise in Python and Bash scripting are highly desirable. Candidates are encouraged to actively contribute with their own ideas, methods, and perspectives to the project. We especially value creativity, engagement, and strong research capabilities. About the Position This is a fixed-term position for 2 years. Full-time. Start date: November 1, 2026, or by agreement. Location: Uppsala.

Duties The project addresses the synthesis of photoactive metal complexes and their application in catalyzing small molecule activation, with components of organic chemistry, spectroscopy, and coordination chemistry. The systems will be characterized using traditional organic as well as electrochemical, photochemical, and spectroscopic methods. The postdoctoral researcher will develop lanthanide-catalyzed transformations. They will synthesize ligands and their metal complexes, perform chemical and spectroscopic characterization of the complexes, and evaluate their photophysical and photochemical behavior. They will write research reports and publications, and present their research results at departmental and group meetings as well as at national and international conferences. The position likely involves mentoring undergraduate students and doctoral students. The main responsibilities for a postdoctoral researcher are to conduct research. These may also include teaching, up to 20% of work time. The project will be conducted in part in collaboration with partners at Uppsala University. Representative recent publications: J. Am. Chem.
