You will be hosted in the INRAE Agroecology multidisciplinary research unit in Dijon (https://www6.dijon.inra.fr/umragroecologie).
You will be working on the exciting new EU-funded (H2020) CoCo project “Co-creating coexistence: Advancing policies, practices, and stakeholder engagement for integrating wildlife and livestock into sustainable multi-functional landscapes in Europe”, which started in November 2024. The aim of the 3-year project coordinated by John Linnell at the Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences (INN) is to co-create, integrate, and consolidate a diversity of knowledge forms (from different scientific disciplines, traditional practices, and experience) concerning pastoralism-wildlife interactions as a basis for developing policy recommendations and tools for practitioners to promote a sustainable coexistence in shared multi-functional landscapes.
INRAE is involved in all parts of the project, and as a Work Package lead, is responsible for collecting quantitative and qualitative data from pastoralists, hunters, and landowners (farmers, foresters) concerning their perceptions of the interactions between wildlife and livestock, the way these interactions are managed, and their needs or desires for changes to the system. Specifically, the WP aims to understand the contrasting perspectives of multiple-stakeholders on the state and management of the livestock-wildlife interface and associated conflicts; and identify potential pathways for success, and failure, of different governance structures within different contexts to produce a best-practice road map for contextualised and innovative governance.
Your purpose will be to:
– Assess stakeholder perspectives and needs through a) face-to-face quantitative interviews with 50-100 pastoralists, b) online questionnaires with landowners and hunters (aiming together for 1000 responses), c) qualitative interviews with 15-20 high-level policy-makers and d) interviews and focus groups with environmentalists
– Support the ethics, gender and diversity issues of the project, including ensuring that all ethical permissions for INRAE are sought to carry out the above research.
– You will be in charge of a range of activities for these tasks (which can be further refined), including:
Developing and carrying out social science research protocols (i.e. semi-structured interviews, large-scale online questionnaire, focus groups) to identify and gather information from key stakeholders at the EU and local levels on livestock-wildlife interactions.
Using qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse the resulting datasets
Writing up and disseminating the research results, in formats adapted to scientists and other actors (e.g. scientific papers and presentations, policy or practitioner summaries, knowledge synthesis, factsheets or briefs).
Closely working with the INRAE WP leader and other project leaders/staff to ensure links and information flow to other parts of the CoCo project.
