Applications are invited for a post-doctoral researcher and two PhD
students to work at the Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in
Central and Eastern Europe (IAMO) on a project investigating the
determinants and dynamics of farmers' decision-making in rural
municipalities in China. The posts are associated with the IAMO
International Research Group "Economic dynamics and social equilibrium
in rural China", which aims at a comprehensive and coordinated analysis
of the dynamics of agricultural development, and socio-economic and
ecological processes in China's rural areas to overcome main development
deficits. 

The posts will involve analysing and conceptualising the dynamics of
rural households at the municipality level in one or two Chinese
provinces, in order to understand how decision-making and important
drivers (social networks, political framework conditions, and ecological
pressures) interact. The posts involve contributions to developing an
agent-based modelling framework on social-ecological dynamics together
with a group of researchers working in the field of agricultural
economics, complexity sciences, and land-use sciences. The modelling
framework shall be tested and validated in interaction with stakeholders
in collaboration with our local partners in China. The successful
candidate should have some experiences in developing and applying
participatory research approaches, preferably coupled with modelling. An
interest in complex systems and agent-based social simulation is
essential. Programming skills are highly welcome. For the post-doc
position, a PhD in a quantitative social science, agricultural
economics, environmental sciences, behavioural sciences, or computer
science is required. PhD candidates should hold a very good or excellent
degree in one of these fields. Experiences in working within an
international research environment are a plus. Previous experience with
China is highly appreciated. Highly effective writing and oral
communication skills in English or German is required; knowledge of
Chinese will be a plus.

The posts will be located in Halle (Saale), Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, at
the Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Central and Eastern
Europe (IAMO) (www.iamo.de) which is one of the leading public research
institutions on transition economies. The successful candidate will have
the opportunity to do fieldwork in the Chinese research regions, and to
spend some time at partner research institutions. The institute is
located in Halle (Saale), an old city with a vibrant research and
student environment. The city is very well connected to major railway
lines and to the airport Leipzig/Halle.

Salary will be in accordance with TV-L with the social benefits valid
for public servants, or on a scholarship basis. We look forward to
receiving applications from women. We will employ handicapped people if
they have the qualifications required. We regret that we cannot refund
any application expenses. Currently, funding is available until December
31, 2010. Extension for an additional year is dependent on continued
financing. 

For informal discussions about the post, contact Dr. Kathrin Happe at
[log in to unmask] (Tel. 0049 (0)345 2928 322). To send an application,
please email Kathrin Happe or post to Prof. Thomas Glauben, IAMO,
Theodor-Lieser-Str. 2, 06120 Halle (Saale), Germany referring to "Job
offer Post-Doc/PhD China Research Group". Applications should include a
CV, a statement of research interests, and a sample of written work.
Applicants should also arrange for two letters of recommendations. 

The closing date for applications is January 31.
