The Cluster of Excellence “Climate, Climatic Change, and Society” (CLICCS) investigates climate dynamics and climate-related social dynamics, as well as the interactions between the two. To this end, we are looking for colleagues from a wide range of disciplines, including the natural sciences as well as the social sciences. We are proud to work together in a truly integrating manner. Our partners, e.g. the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Helmholtz Centre Hereon or the German Climate Computing Centre are also hiring. Your responsibilities Duties include academic services in the project named above. Research associates may also pursue further academic qualifications outside of their work responsibilities. The successful candidate will investigate the overall economic costs associated with extreme weather events, including direct, indirect, and cascading impacts, under different climate futures. They will analyze how differing regional climate risks or extreme weather events can influence production losses and patterns of investment and examine how this could affect optimal adaptation and mitigation policies in an integrated assessment context. The role also involves taking a leading role in the development and refinement of macroeconomic models that incorporate these behavioral responses and impacts. Overall, the position aims to improve macroeconomic models and deepen our understanding of the economic consequences of climate change and extreme weather events, providing valuable insights for policy and decision-making. Your profile A university degree in a relevant field, plus doctorate. The ideal candidate is enthusiastic and eager to work in a vibrant, international, and interdisciplinary environment. They possess solid knowledge of economics, have extensive experience in macroeconomic modeling using computable general equilibrium and/or integrated assessment models. The candidate should have proven skills in programming macroeconomic models and experience in statistical data analysis. A good understanding of physical climate change processes and the socio‑economic impacts of climate extremes is also highly desirable. Strong team spirit, openness to collaboration across disciplines, and motivation to develop innovative approaches are essential qualities for this position.
