ESM is interested in YSSP and Post-Doc applicants

The ESM Program has a long history of supporting and promoting YSSP students and Post-Docs. We select students and scholars from all over the globe, with multi-disciplinary interests related to ecosystem services. 

ESM is organized in three scientific centers, which are tightly integrated to carry out solution oriented integrated assessment work.

Center for Landscape, Resilience, and Management (CLR)

Center for Earth Observation and Citizen Science (EOCS)

Center for Environmental Resources and Development (ERD)

A selection of research fields within which our YSSP students undertake their studies and Post-Doc Scholars conduct their research in is listed below.

Applicants are encouraged to contact the program's Deputy Program Director, Florian Kraxner () for any scientific related questions.
