Your Role
:
As part of the FNR-funded project SEaSons (Sustainability, Environmental Knowledge and Social Imaginations of Climate Futures), we are looking for a Doctoral researcher at the University of Luxembourg (Campus Belval).
In European latitudes, our assumption is that climate issues are experienced through the seasons and their relevance for food, transport, housing and energy.
The study sets out with a qualitative study with a group of people we call 'technical experts', de facto stewards of sustainable climate action.
At the same time their knowledge is - to varying degrees - marginal in the common discourses on transition politics and behavioral change.
To reconstruct this knowledge, we will employ an innovative visual methodology combined with an interview methodology.Using pictures which refer to the everyday practices of our technical experts will allow us to bring into appearance their tacit and technical knowledge.
The qualitative study will be complemented by a quantitative survey.The research has three goals:
first, it seeks to identify the knowledge of technical experts, potential barriers to and drivers of sustainable action. Secondly, we want to develop participatory tools to allow different publics to engage with knowledge of sustainability. Thirdly, the study contributes to sociological research on the perceptions of the future concerning climate issues.
Responsibilities:
- Collaboration in the various empirical qualitative and quantitative project activities, depending on expertise
- Creation of publications
- Participation in scientific conferences
- Participation in teaching (to a small extent) is possible if interested
Project group:
Prof. Dr. Boris Traue, Dr. Mathias Blanc & Prof. Dr. Robin Samuel
What we expect from you:
- Master's degree in a social sciences discipline
- Acquaintance with qualitative methods and interest in visual methodologies experience with empirical research of advantage
- Interest in sustainability studies
- Openness to a mixedmethod approach
- Very good knowledge of German OR French (written and oral), very good knowledge of English; Luxembourgish is an advantage
What we offer:
