November 2022 Update Dear POLLEN Members and Friends, Winter finally arrived to Sweden in mid-November. In Lund, where the Secretariat is now based, it snowed and the snow even stayed for a few days! Once the snow melted away, the darkness took over as "saving the planet" was promoted to the top of the list of depoliticized issues by becoming the only cause internationally accepted for the eventwashing of repressive authoritarian regimes. The need for critical and emancipatory political ecology scholarship and action couldn't be bigger these days... Has your POLLEN node NOT been introduced by us? If your node is keen to share your work in upcoming newsletters, please write to us at politicalecologynetwork@gmail.com. We also welcome proposals for blog posts on the POLLEN blog – please contact us at the same email address with any ideas! We are pleased to post the latest publications, CfPs and more from our lively community.

- The Department of International Environment and Development Studies (Noragric), Faculty of Landscape and Society (LANDSAM) at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) has a vacant 4-year PhD–position in International Environment and Development Studies with one year of project work included.
We invite candidates to develop their research ideas on the links between land dispossession, elite capture and growth of jihadist groups in the West African Sahel. Recent research has pointed at land dispossession and elite capture in explaining why many people in the Sahel decide to join armed insurgency groups. This PhD position will be part of a new five-year project funded by an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) entitled LANDRESPONSE, which will study conflict and migration in the Sahel as parallel processes with potentially similar causes.

- The University of Manchester is seeking to appoint two Research Associates for the Sustainable Forest Transitions (SFT) project. SFT is a five-year, £1.7 million project funded as part of a UKRI Research Frontier grant based within the Global Development Institute in the School of Environment, Education and Development. The SFT project will conduct ground-breaking research to better understand how reforestation drivers affect forests and the communities that depend on them. Over the next five years, SFT will study the changing nature of forest cover and human development at unprecedented scale and detail. The SFT project will start working in Mexico, Brazil, India, and Nepal and very possibly expand to other countries. These two posts offer the opportunity for outstanding individuals to make a significant contribution to an exciting international sustainability research programme based at the University of Manchester. For a clearer sense of SFT's research agenda, please see the publications pages of the project's website (https://sites.manchester.ac.uk/sftresearch/).

- 3-year vacancy for a PhD Candidate in STS at NTNU.
The PhD candidate will work within the area of Sustainability Transitions research focusing on transformative policy mixes for cross-sectoral interactions and societal acceptance of Hydrogen. The current development of the hydrogen economy in Norway is built on a multi-level logic where regional, national and international dynamics interact, and where interests across sectors need to be aligned to succeed. This project uses the concept of transformative policy mixes for cross-sectoral interactions to understand the interactions between levels and sectors, to advance community acceptance, policy acceptance and market acceptance for hydrogen in Norway and beyond.
