  2. Environment and natural resource use and management, with expertise in areas such as the natural resource curse, extractive industries and environmental justice. Candidates with a political economy of development perspective are encouraged to apply.

The candidates will have a teaching base in the Major in Economics of Development (ECD) and/or the Major in Agrarian, Food and Environmental Studies (AFES). They will also be expected to contribute to institute-wide teaching efforts, such as in research methods.
