About the Position

The Department of Urban and Rural Development at Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher in Rural Development to join our team. As a postdoc, you will contribute to the Division of Rural Development's research, teaching, and collaboration, focusing on issues of justice, knowledge, and power in agriculture and forestry, natural resource management, and development in rural areas.

We conduct research, teaching, and collaboration that emphasizes understanding rural areas as dynamic spaces created by networks of relationships spanning between urban and rural settings and across the globe. Our focus lies in ideas about development and their consequences in rural areas, both within the Global North and the Global South.

This position is part of the EU Biodiversa+ funded project Increasing Sustainability of Agribiologicals by Living Labs in sub-Saharan Africa (inSALSA). The project aims to enhance adoption of agricultural biologicals over conventional agrichemicals in smallholder farming in Sub-Saharan Africa through investigating farmer attitudes, needs, and preferences in 'living labs' in Kenya and South Africa.
