Ecological Economics Research New Zealand (EERNZ) is a research centre at Massey University with four full-time researchers, an administrator and five PhD students (www.eernz.ac.nz). Our focus is on Sustainability Science through applied, policy relevant, trans-disciplinary research.
EERNZ is looking for a system dynamics modeller with quantitative research skills to enhance the team of researchers and our external collaborators working on funded projects in the areas of: 1. Urban Sustainability; 2. Coastal Ecosystem Services; 3. Freshwater Ecosystem Services (see www.eernz.ac.nz). A PhD in an area of research relevant to Ecological Economics is required. Two of the current projects involve a close collaboration with Maori communities. Experience in multi-cultural settings is important. Demonstrated experience using systems dynamics software (STELLA, Vensim, or relevant modelling software) is required. Beyond model building, the tasks are varied and require the ability to work both independently and in a team, as well as across disciplines. The applied nature of this position requires an affinity for action research. Some travel within New Zealand is required. Responsibilities will include literature review, report writing and (co-)authoring publications. The successful candidate will provide system dynamics modelling capacity within EERNZ, assist with teaching, develop new collaborative research projects and, after a start-up period, provide Science Leadership capacity.
