IIASA is an international institution, supported by eighteen 
governments, that supports international teams of researchers engaged in 
studies aimed at providing policy insight on issues of regional and 
global importance.

Candidates for the IIASA Postdoctoral Program can apply to work with any 
of IIASA's research programs on projects related to driving forces of 
global change, advanced systems analysis, or IIASA's 3 global problem 
areas -- Energy and Climate, Food and Water, and Poverty and Equity. 
(Link to an _overview of IIASA's research activities_ 
<http://www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/research_overview_2011.html>.) An 
essential part of the on-line application is a research plan outlining 
the intended work at IIASA and a discussion of the relevance of the 
planned research for IIASA's agenda. Applicants are encouraged to
