Benedikt Seisl

Officially finished my PhD and defended on Friday, May 22 🎉🎓 It’s been years of balancing teaching, research, work, and mental health – with plenty of challenges and growth along the way. This means a lot, and I still can’t believe that it’s done.

New paper (first single-authored) in Ecological Economics 🎉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ec... Who makes the green transition on the labor market? How can we try to measure this? How does it add to broader research on the political economy of economic transitions? 1/8

On a more personal note: Writing, presenting, revising & publishing this paper was a long learning process that shaped my computational, communication & research skills. Seeing my first single-authored paper appear just before submitting my dissertation feels especially meaningful. 7/8

What this enables 🌍 • High granularity (4-digit ISCO / 6-digit SOC) • Cross-sectional comparisons across economies • Identification of worker-level mobility barriers/opportunities Adds a new analytical layer beyond sector-level transition studies. 5/8

Research gap🧩 We often discuss green transitions at the industry level. But mobility happens at the worker/skill level. 👉 What skills actually transfer from brown to green jobs? 👉 For which workers is transition more feasible? 👉 How does this relate to sectoral exposure to the green transition? 3/8
