By combining the strengths of three universities, our mission is to produce outstanding research with maximum academic and social impact - to educate the next generation of world-class economists.

The University of Helsinki is the oldest and largest institution of academic education in Finland, an international scientific community of 40,000 students and researchers, typically ranking among the top 100 in international university rankings.

The position has a duration of two years, starting in 2025, with the possibility of another position being filled for one year in 2025 or 2026. Applicants will be reviewed based on their research and academic potential.

The postdoc will join a dedicated community of economics researchers at Helsinki GSE. We offer access to networks, mentoring, and ambitious research collaboration, targeting top journals in economics.

The discipline of economics at the University of Helsinki focuses on macroeconomics, time series economics, public economics, and applied game theory. For more information about our faculty, research groups, and seminar series, please visit the pages of Helsinki GSE.

The annual gross salary range is €44,000 – €51,000, depending on the applicant’s qualifications and experience.

This postdoc position is part of Postdoctoral Programme for Research Institutes in Finland. The programme is funded from the Finnish government's multi-annual research and development (R&D) funding plan. The programme recruits 85 new postdoctoral researchers to 12 Finnish government research institutes between 2025 and 2028. The aim of the Programme is to strengthen RDI competence in areas important to society and business. Postdoctoral researcher will conduct goal-oriented high-level research at the interface between the academic commu-nity, industry, and administration. The Programme supports postdoctoral researcher’s networking and mobility between sectors.

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team of environmental and resource economists. The successful applicant should contribute to innovative research in the field of finance (theory) from the perspective of environmental and natural resource policy. The candidate is expected to develop a research agenda that addresses the integration of natural resource policies and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices. The research should focus on how ESG practices influence the supply of ecosystem services and how they can be enhanced through public sector actions. One of the aims should be the identification of potential conflicts between corporate ESG goals and natural resource policies, proposing viable solutions. The primary focus is on the sector of natural resources, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), but also the value networks around large companies. Key areas of interest may include e.g. the integration of ecological and carbon compensations within the ESG framework and the interaction between financiers’ expectations and relevant policy proposals. The analysis should also cover innovative solutions and best practices through case studies, including those involving collaboration with enterprises. Case studies and comparisons in forestry, the food sector, and fisheries would be particularly valuable.​

Our expectations for the applicant:

  • A Ph.D. in Environmental or Resource Economics, Environmental Policy, Business Economics or a related field.​
  • Strong background in ESG, business design, financing, environmental policy design, and/or natural resource management.​
  • Strong experience with qualitative and quantitative research methods.​
  • Excellent analytical, writing, and communication skills.​
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.​
