Doan is based at the Department of Environmental Science, Aarhus University in Roskilde, where he currently holds a postdoctoral fellowship working on the economics of climate change adaptation, with a special reference to agricultural/rural land use in the Nordic region.

The postdoctoral project is associated with NORD-STAR (Nordic Strategic Adaptation Research), funded by Norden Top-Level Research Initiative.

Doan’s approach to research is interdisciplinary and his research has been informed by theoretical frameworks from a wide array of disciplines, including economics, geography and ecology.
