The first set of research positions related to Mistra Arctic Sustainable Development: New Governance for Sustainable Development in the European Arctic has been released, including doctoral, post-doctoral and research assistantships. More positions will be released later. Researchers will work with rural land use in northernmost Europe. The general research foci target the relation between natural resource uses (forestry, reindeer husbandry, tourism, mining, oil and gas, fishing) and municipal planning. A shorter term position, which could be extended or combined with work in the programme, will also be placed within an existing research project and focused on forest and invasive species.
