CIFOR is seeking REDD researchers
CIFOR is seeking doctoral students interested in research on REDD for possible collaboration with their four-year Global Comparative Study on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (GCS-REDD), including three components.
Component 1 focuses on national policies and processes related to REDD.
We are looking for students (preferably in political science) who will
conduct policy network analysis in the country-specific REDD arenas and/or
conduct a media-based discourse analysis in 2010/2011.
Component 2 will conduct research on REDD project activities. We are looking for students preparing to do their field research at a specific site or sites. Our approach will analyze REDD before and after the introduction of incentives, at both impact and control sites. We will be measuring socioeconomic and biophysical variables.
Component 3 will focus on national-level reference emissions and project-level carbon monitoring. We are looking for PhD students (in the biophysical sciences as well as in economic modeling) who will conduct data collection, testing and validation of models for reference levels and other biophysical factors.
