We have a large and growing portfolio of projects on NBS, and we are now seeking to expand our economic expertise on upscaling NBS through innovative financing and business models.

- develop financial arrangements to facilitate the adoption and upscaling of nature-based solutions, in different contexts
- evaluate necessary policy conditions at local, national and international scales that enable the large-scale implementation of nature-based solutions
**Your duties**
- you develop your research programme complementing our NBS research portfolio
- you conduct independent research
- you publish research results in international peer-reviewed journals and impact oriented journals
- you teach in Bachelor and/or Master’s educational programmes and supervise theses of Bachelor and Master students
- you do project management, including the organisation of meetings and activities (e.g., workshop organisation)
**Your profile**:
- you hold a PhD in (environmental) economics, business administration or a related social-environmental science discipline
- you have proven affiliation with sustainability and environment, ideally demonstrated in an inter
- or multidisciplinary background
- you have demonstrated expertise relevant to the economics of nature-based solutions
- it is an advantage when you have quantitative analytical skills
- it is an advantage when you have some experience in teaching and MSc/BSc supervision
- it is an advantage when you have good communication skills in English and one other European language.
We realise that each individual brings an unique set of skills, expertise and mindset. Therefore we are happy to invite anyone who recognises themselves in the profile to apply, even if you do not meet all the requirements.
**What do we offer?**:
