Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Urban Metabolisms, Supply Chains, and Land Use (f/m/d)

Study how urban energy, material and population flows change over decades and centuries in Patrick Roberts’s Department of Coevolution of Land Use and Urbanization. Research connects supply-chain vulnerabilities and land-use impacts with historical, archaeological and environmental evidence. The Jena fellowship lasts three years; full time is standard and a minimum 75% appointment can be requested. This vacancy belongs to the September 2026 Max Planck Postdoc Program call, which accepts applications until 13 October 2026 at 12:00 CEST through the official application platform.

Background in urban metabolism, environments or history, with essential experience in computational approaches such as network and supply-chain analysis; interest in integrating evidence across temporal and spatial scales.
