Natural Resource Economist (On-Project Basis)

Natural Resource Economics has attracted stronger public attention over the last couple of years. Employment and income growth in a green economy are driven by public and private investment into such economic activities, infrastructure and assets that allow reduced carbon emissions and pollution, enhanced energy and resource efficiency, and prevention of the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

DMUI plans to involve itself in future research activities that promote a development path that understands natural capital as a critical economic asset and a source of public benefits, especially for poor people whose livelihoods depend on natural resources. Therefore, DMUI is seeking an experienced Natural Resource Economist to support its future works in Green Economy space. This is not a full-time role and we offer relatively flexible working hours (except for obligatory coordination meeting).
