The Department of Political Science, Stockholm university, announces an externally funded PhD studentship in comparative ecosystem governance.
Project title
GLEAN — A Global Survey of Learning, Participation and Ecosystem Management (www.statsvet.su.se/English/Research/glean.htm)
Project description
The PhD-position is funded by the research programe GLEAN — A Global Survey of Learning, Participation and Ecosystem Management, which is financed by the National Science Council and directed by Associate Professor Andreas Duit.
The programme is hosted by the Department of Political Science in collaboration with Stockholm Resilience Centre and is carried out by a cross-disciplinary research team during the period 2012—2016.
The GLEAN project, in which the PhD project will be embedded, aims to analyse the effect of stakeholder participation in natural resource management programmes on outcomes in ecosystems and learning processes.
By combining a cross-national panel survey of BR-areas in 55 countries, longitudinal biodiversity mapping using satellite imagery, and context-sensitive field work in strategically selected cases studies, the contested role of stakeholder participation in natural resource management will be examined in with a much higher degree of precision and generalizability than previously possible.

Applications will be assessed based on the following criteria:
- analytical ability (scientific reports, papers, or degree project thesis)
- practical experience and knowledge related to the project
- knowledge of scientific theory and method
- personal references and gender equality aspects
Eligibility requirements
