The Land Use Economics group at the University of Hohenheim is looking for a Ph.D. candidate with an Agricultural Economic or Natural Resource Management background to work on the topic:

Climate Change and Intergenerational Persistence of Poverty and Malnutrition (in Ethiopia).

The proposed study involves agent-based simulation of agricultural landuse and household decisions. Experience in simulation modeling, ideally linear programming, agent-based modeling and/or methodology of sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, would be a strong asset for a candidate.

The position is coupled to a 36 months (2021-2024) South-North Scholarship in the CLIFOOD SDG Graduate school, a collaboration between the University of Hohenheim and Hawassa University, Ethiopia. Due to the nature of the graduate school, preference will be given to Ethiopian (and secondarily other East African) applicants.
