Dear colleagues, We have just announced a two-year postdoctoral position at Uppsala University in Sweden within the country-comparative project “Do welfare systems shape public support for climate action? A cross-country experimental assessment” funded by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation. The postdoc will join a research group led by Professor Joakim Palme that investigates whether and how welfare initiatives affect the public’s attitudes towards carbon taxes in some of the world’s largest emitting nations, mainly outside of Europe. Thus, the research lies at the intersection between the subject areas of welfare policy and climate policy. A short project description is available to read here<https://www.statsvet.uu.se/research/do-welfare-systems-shape-public-support-for-climate-action--/>. The tasks include working with the research group on theory and concept development for country-comparative analyses of the interaction between climate and welfare policy in countries outside Europe. A main task is to develop new policy indicators and to collect and analyze data from the various country contexts researched by the project. In addition, designing and conducting country-comparative survey experiments, as well as writing scientific articles, are part of the responsibilities. Please share the announcement with any potential candidates you may know, and in your networks at large: https://uu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:720959/ Feel free to send any questions to me (moa.martensson@statsvet.uu.se<mailto:moa.martensson@statsvet.uu.se>) or to Joakim Palme (joakim.palme@statsvet.uu.se<mailto:joakim.palme@statsvet.uu.se>).
