J-PAL Latin America and the Caribbean (J-PAL LAC) is recruiting a Research and Scaling Postdoctoral Fellow with a focus on Environment, Energy and Climate Change to contribute to its mission of promoting evidence-informed policy. The fellow will work with advisors Juliano Assunção (PUC-Rio; CPI) and Marco Gonzalez-Navarro (University of California, Berkeley), the J-PAL LAC office and the King Climate Action Initiative (K-CAI) team at J-PAL Global to build a network of potential partners and prepare high-quality proposals for K-CAI in LAC. The fellow can be based in Chile (PUC - Chile), in Mexico (ITAM) or in Brazil (PUC-Rio). The decision would depend on the candidate’s comparative advantages and preferences.

The position offers the opportunity to join a research partnership with a strong track record of high-quality publication and policy impact; is likely to lead to several co-authored papers; and is designed to help the selected candidate launch a successful academic career with a strong research pipeline.
