Full Text of JOE Listing:

Brown University invites applications for a two-year Postdoctoral Research Associate in Climate Solutions at the Watson Institute for International & Public Affairs. We seek a scholar to help us address one or both of two major topics: climate and trade, and the geopolitics of the global energy transition. The postdoc will help research on questions like how climate should fit into the United States’ China strategy, how US policymakers can work with the EU on issues such as carbon tariffs and border adjustment measures, or how states and market actors can work together to finance decarbonization. Ability to conduct and write policy-oriented research, as well as academic research, is essential. There are no teaching responsibilities. The selected candidate will devote 50 percent time to projects at the Climate Solutions Lab, under the supervision of Professor Jeff Colgan, and 50 percent time to his or her own (climate-related) research projects. The Watson Institute is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. Fellows will receive an annual stipend of $65,000 for this benefits-eligible position.
