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.

Position 2: exploring sustainability transitions within and from aviation
Brief description:
The project focuses on the pervasive role that aviation plays in Norwegian
society, with flying being an integrated element of most industries, as well
as in the personal life of a large share of the population. 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.
