Applications are invited for an individual to contribute to a research project on CLimate change
Integrated assessment Methodology for cross-Sectoral Adaptation and Vulnerability in Europe
(CLIMSAVE). CLIMSAVE is a European Commission funded project involving 18 research

institutes. It aims to develop and apply an integrated methodology for stakeholder-led, climate

change impact and vulnerability assessment that explicitly evaluates regional and continental
scale adaptation options, and cross-sectoral interactions between the key sectors driving
landscape change in Europe (agriculture, forests, biodiversity, coasts/floodplains, water
resources, urban development and transport). A range of sectoral meta-models will be linked
within a common assessment platform that is user-friendly, interactive and web-based to allow
the rapid reproduction of climate change impacts by stakeholders themselves. The applicant will
contribute to the development and integration of the biodiversity meta-model within the
platform.
