Dear colleagues,

I would be grateful if you could pass the information about a job opening (at the Vienna University of Technology, Austria) for a doctoral candidate interested in urban heat islands - health - choice experiments to potentially interested researchers.

Tasks:
•    Research on the economic valuation of policy programs for mitigating urban heat islands and the adaption to climate change in urban areas (for instance, in Vienna).
•    Joint development and implementation of a representative choice experiment in Vienna and other Austrian cities with respect to the citizens’ willingness-to-pay for several policy programs, and studying the distributional implications in regard to different social groups (e.g., income, age).
Expected start: March 2021 (duration: 3 yrs.).
