Regular positions

University of Victoria - Department of Economics - Solid Carbon Project

Application Review: Begins 15 January 2027; the position remains open until filled

Overview

The Department of Economics at the University of Victoria (UVic) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on the economics and policy of geological carbon storage and capture, as part of the UVic and Ocean Networks Canada Solid Carbon project. The Fellow will work under the supervision of Dr. Felix Pretis and as a member of the interdisciplinary Solid Carbon team.

The position combines project research with independent research. The Fellow will deliver research outputs for the Solid Carbon project, and will also have protected time to develop their own research agenda in carbon storage, carbon dioxide removal, and climate policy.

About the Solid Carbon Project

Solid Carbon is investigating how carbon dioxide can be permanently and safely stored as rock in the basalt beneath the seafloor off the west coast of Vancouver Island. The project is funded through the Government of Canada’s New Frontiers in Research Fund (Transformation stream) and brings together researchers in the social sciences, geosciences, ocean sciences and engineering. Its work includes ongoing research, public engagement and consultation with coastal and Indigenous communities, and a small-scale demonstration project.

The economics team studies the costs, risks, incentives and policy frameworks that will determine whether geological carbon storage can be deployed at scale. More information: solidcarbon.ca.

The Role

The Fellow will contribute economic research to the Solid Carbon project while developing their own research agenda. The project work can be shaped around the Fellow’s expertise and interests. Central economic questions for the project include:

• the costs of geological carbon storage, and how these costs are likely to evolve;
• policy design for carbon storage and removal, including carbon pricing and a carbon takeback obligation compared with alternative instruments;
• the economic impacts and feasibility of scaling up carbon storage.

The Fellow is encouraged to pursue independent research related to carbon storage, carbon removal or climate policy, and to publish in leading field and general-interest journals.

The Fellow will present at project meetings and academic conferences, and may take part in mentoring students working with the team. There may also be opportunities to gain teaching experience in the Department of Economics.

• A record of, or clear potential for, high-quality independent research.
• Strong quantitative and empirical skills.
• The ability to work in an interdisciplinary team alongside engineers and natural scientists, and to communicate results to non-economists.

Desirable

• Experience with econometric or empirical methods applied to energy, environmental or climate questions.
• Familiarity with carbon markets, climate policy instruments, or energy and resource economics.
• Experience working with project-level, firm-level or policy data.

The Graduate School of International Studies (l’École supérieure d’études internationales – ESEI) at Université Laval, located in Québec City, Canada, is a centre of excellence in multidisciplinary research and teaching on international issues.

ESEI is currently seeking a faculty member whose research focuses on global inequalities and trade. The successful candidate will hold the Research Chair in Global Inequalities and Trade.

The competition is open to candidates from all disciplines relevant to this field. Applications from economics, law, geography, history, sociology, management, political science, and other relevant disciplines are particularly encouraged.

International trade structures power relations among developed countries, emerging economies, and least developed countries, as well as power dynamics among actors within societies. It has a direct impact on the lives of hundreds of millions of people and on their aspirations for a more equitable world. The Chair’s research will examine the reciprocal relationships between the governance of international economic and diplomatic relations, on the one hand, and inequalities, on the other, in the context of the reconfiguration of the emerging world order.

The Chair’s research may address, but is not limited to, the following issues: the role of financial institutions in addressing global economic inequalities (e.g., sovereign debt restructuring); the links between international aid, export-led growth, and human development; the role of sovereign wealth funds and the financialization of the economy in the unequal distribution of wealth and democratic backsliding; the impact of market opening and multinational corporations on local populations; and the preservation of an inclusive multilateral trading system.

In addition to its research activities, the Chair will develop an innovative teaching program based on simulations of negotiations and coordinated action within international organizations working in the fields of international development and trade (IMF, UNDP, WTO, etc.). These initiatives will raise students’ awareness of the importance of multilateral cooperation in reducing inequalities among countries.

A research advisor will support the Chairholder in developing, planning, and submitting research grant applications, while helping to maximize the Chair’s outreach and knowledge mobilization activities. Funding will also be available to support doctoral scholarships associated with the Chair.

The successful candidate will join the Graduate School of International Studies as a regular faculty member beginning June 1, 2027, and no later than September 1, 2027. The appointment may be made at any academic rank, in accordance with the Collective Agreement between Université Laval and the Syndicat des professeurs et professeures de l’Université Laval (SPUL).

Duties include :

• Teaching at the graduate level;

• Supervising graduate students in the context of master’s research papers, master’s theses, and doctoral dissertations;

• Conducting research and publishing on global inequalities and trade;

• Participating in teaching and administrative activities associated with ESEI;

The Graduate School of International Studies (École supérieure d’études internationales – ESEI) at Université Laval, located in Quebec City (Canada), is a centre of excellence in multidisciplinary research and teaching on international affaires. ESEI is currently seeking applications for a faculty position on Arctic defence and security.

The competition is open to applicants from all disciplines relevant to the study of defence and security dynamics in the Arctic. Applications from scholars in economics, law, geography, history, management, political science, and other relevant disciplines are particularly encouraged.

The successful candidate will hold the Desgagnés Chair in Arctic Defence and Security and will have access to a research budget of more than $200,000 per year for five years.

The Chair’s mandate is to conduct leading-edge interdisciplinary research. In particular, it seeks to examine transformations in the Arctic strategic environment in a context marked by the return of great-power rivalry and by rapidly evolving economic, legal, geographic, and political realities in the region.

By bringing academic expertise to strategic issues of primary importance to Canada, the Chair seeks to contribute actively to national debates on defence and security.

Research conducted through the Chair may address, among other topics:

• The economic and geoeconomic dimensions of competition in the Arctic;
• The costs, choices, and trade-offs associated with defence and security policies in the region;
• The legal frameworks and governance issues that shape activities in the Arctic, particularly in a region where different and overlapping areas of state jurisdiction coexist;
• The historical and territorial transformations of the region and their implications for contemporary security issues;
• Transformations in the strategic environment and power relations in the Arctic;
• The resilience and security of critical northern infrastructure, particularly land and maritime transportation infrastructure;
• Maritime security and the evolution of commercial shipping;
• The development and transportation of natural resources and their strategic implications.

A research advisor will support the Chairholder in developing, planning, and submitting research grant applications, while also helping to maximize the Chair’s outreach and engagement activities. Funding will also be available to offer doctoral scholarships associated with the Chair.

The successful candidate will join the Graduate School of International Studies as a regular faculty member starting June 1, 2027, and no later than September 1, 2027. Hiring may be at any academic rank in accordance with the Collective Agreement between Laval University and the Syndicat des professeurs et des professeures de l’Université Laval (SPUL).

Duties include:

• Teaching at the graduate level;
• Supervising master’s essays, dissertations and doctoral theses;

• Being involved in any other activity provided for in the Université Laval-SPUL collective agreement;

• An excellent research record, with publications in top peer-reviewed journals in the candidate’s field, or strong potential to develop such a record for early-career applicants;
• University-level teaching experience;
• A proven track record of securing research funding from recognized granting agencies, or strong potential to obtain such funding in the near future;
