Careers
There are currently no vacancies at the centre
PhD student with the project SOS-Cryo
The cryosphere, such as mountain glaciers, ice sheets, permafrost, snow cover, and sea ice, critically regulates Earth system dynamics. However, despite rapid loss and degradation in cryosphere functions caused by anthropogenic climate change, there is still no systematic assessment of how cryosphere changes impact Earth resilience, i.e., the Earth’s capacity to maintain habitable conditions. The PhD candidate will address this urgent knowledge gap by investigating how critical cryosphere functions for Earth resilience can be maintained.

The research project focuses on agricultural development in the Global South, which is increasingly financed through loans and debt-creating instruments. The project investigates how debt affects land use, decision-making, and adaptive capacity across scales. The PhD student will trace how relationships between creditors and debtors – from multilateral development banks and states to financial institutions and farmers – shape development trajectories and resilience to environmental shocks.
