Project description
This Fellowship will be part of the Co-Creating Better Blue Programme recently funded by MISTRA which aims to develop ecosystem-based management processes where decisions are based on sustainability and democracy. The project's vision is to steer developments towards a more sustainable, open and democratic blue economy involving stakeholders to scientists. Co-Creating Better Blue involves 13 partners from academia and research organizations, 25 co-funded partners from industry and the public sector, and stakeholders from civil society.
In particular, Umeå University will lead the part of the program called Living Lab North, which will focus on the northern parts of the Baltic Sea where we have close links with the local stakeholders. A key issue in the northern Baltic is that it experience up to three times the rate of global warming as lower latitudes meaning a combined increase in biotic stressors but also the opportunity for human interaction via an increasing population but also exploitation. Most recently, there has been an increase in activities surrounding the exploitation of shallow-water polymetallic nodules which are significantly easier to extract that those found in the deep sea. Yet in this context, we have little information on how this process can be managed in a sustainable and democratic manner.
Project advances beyond the state-of-the-art: We anticipate that the postdoctoral fellow will make key advances in sustainable development of the northern Baltic by engaging with local actors and stakeholders, including but not limited to the mining, energy and shipping sectors, to develop an ecosystem-based management framework which is particular focused on a warming and increasingly exploited northern Baltic.
The Postdoctoral researcher will spend time in all three collaborating Umeå University departments, providing a multidisciplinary working environment. The postdoctoral fellow will be an engaged member of a research active team that places a high value on collaborative, multidisciplinary and impactful science. The candidate will have the support of a multidisciplinary team with complementary expertise in the northern Baltic and sustainable development as well as in the governance and management of natural resources.
Qualifications
To be appointed under the postdoctoral agreement, the postdoctoral fellow is required to have completed a doctoral degree or a foreign degree deemed equivalent to a doctoral degree. This qualification requirements must be fulfilled no later than at the time of the appointment decision.

Postdoctoral fellows who are to teach or supervise must have taken relevant courses in teaching and learning in higher education.
The candidate’s doctoral degree should contain a significant component of sustainable development from a natural or social science perspective.
Essential criteria are:
