Post-Doctoral Position on Water Policy at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Dec 16, 2020 | Hebrew University of Jerusalem

The Department of Geography at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is looking for an excellent post-doctoral fellow to work on issues of water policy, broadly defined. The research needs to include a transboundary aspect. The post-doctoral fellow will work with Prof. Eran Feitelson (http://geography.huji.ac.il/sites/default/files/geography/files/erancv.pdf) and Dr. Amit Tubi (https://en.geography.huji.ac.il/people/amit-tubi). Research topics may include, but are not limited to: cooperation / conflict over water resources, the water-energy nexus, desalination, resilience building processes in light of climate change, among other issues. The post-doctoral fellow will benefit from a stimulating research environment in a region located at the forefront of present and future water challenges, as well as exposure to cutting edge water policies and research.

The stipend is about 8,000 NIS / month, for a one-year period with the possibility of extension. The preferred start date is March 2021, but this is flexible. Due to the circumstances imposed by the covid-19 pandemic, the postdoctoral fellow will be able to begin her / his work from abroad. However, we expect the post-doctoral fellow to arrive in Israel once the situation improves and travel restrictions are eased.

Curriculum vitae including a list of publications should be sent to Amit Tubi (amit.tubi@mail.huji.ac.il) by January 15, 2021. Selected candidates will be invited for a Zoom interview. Final answers will be provided by February 01, 2021.
