Are you looking for a thesis advisor?
Do you have a passion for sustainability and strong background in quantitative science (maths, physics, computer science, cognitive science, theoretical ecology, systems science, economics, etc) or the philosophy of science? Would you like to work at an institute that is globally connected in the fields of climate science, social-ecological systems, complex systems and climate economics? If you’d like to explore the possibility of working with me on a research project, get in touch, tell me what questions inspire you and send me a short CV.
