Vacancy for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow<\/b><\/h3>\n

Forest Carbon Transition Risks in Southeast Asia<\/b><\/h3>\n\u00a0\n

The Asia Research Institute (ARI) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is seeking a talented and motivated Research Fellow to join a dynamic interdisciplinary team within the Carbon Governance in Southeast Asia (CGSEA<\/a><\/u>) project.<\/p>\n

As nations and corporations commit to net-zero targets, investments in forest carbon projects have surged. Southeast Asia, home to some of the world’s most carbon-dense ecosystems, has become a key arena for such climate action. However, these projects face growing transition risks-uncertainties stemming from shifting policy landscapes, market volatility, and technological disruption. If unaddressed, such risks could jeopardize climate goals, marginalize forest-dependent communities, and destabilize emerging carbon economies.<\/p>\n

This role offers the opportunity to undertake cutting-edge research into these critical challenges. The successful applicant will examine the legal, financial, and governance dimensions of forest carbon schemes, evaluate potential disruptions, and explore innovative risk-mitigation strategies-including digital tools and AI-enabled solutions for transparency and benefit-sharing.<\/p>\n

The position is full-time for 12 months from 1 August 2025 (or soon thereafter), with the possibility of extension. Candidates should hold a PhD in a relevant social or natural science and demonstrate interest in forest governance and\/or environmental finance.<\/p>\n

For full details and application instructions, please refer to the further particulars link below. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis from 1 July 2025.<\/p>\n
