Two fully funded PhD positions within STS on sustainability transitions
*Apologies for cross posting* Dear all, At NTNU, Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture, we have two fully funded 3-year vacancies as PhD candidates within Science and Technology studies. Both positions focus on aspects related to energy and sustainability transitions and could also be of interest to scholars with other relevant backgrounds in the social sciences and humanities. Both projects are funded as part of the Norwegian centre for energy transition strategies (NTRANS) Please note the short deadline (05.06) Position 1: Tensions in transitions Brief description: From the realization that climate emissions need to be reduced quickly, accelerating energy transitions has become a key focus amongst policy makers and innovators. This PhD project will study the factors driving acceleration, with a focus on the social consequences and justice implications of increased speed. This implies exploring the opportunities and challenges that come with accelerating the transition, including how speed influences public participation, knowledge production processes like environmental and biodiversity assessments, and technology adoption. Ultimately, the aim is to gain a better understanding of the complexities involved in accelerating the transition to sustainable energy production and use in Norway.

From a socio-technical perspective, this project probes both the supply and the demand side of aviation, the goal being on the one hand to explore the opportunities and challenges for decarbonizing aviation, and on the other hand, the opportunities, and challenges for reducing aviation.
