PhD Opportunity: Social Studies of Green and Sustainable Chemical Innovation
PhD Opportunity on the Social Studies of Green and Sustainable Chemical <br>Innovation <br> <br>The Department of Chemistry (College of Science and Engineering) and the <br>School of Business (College of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities) at the <br>University of Leicester are pleased to offer one joint fully-funded <br>three-year studentship on the topic of Antecedents and Emergence of Green <br>and Sustainable Chemical Innovation. <br> <br>The prospective research student will be jointly supervised by Professor <br>Andy Abbott (Green Chemistry) and Dr Dimitris Papadopoulos (Science and <br>Technology Studies). <br> <br>The studentship offers a stipend at RCUK rates (14,777 for 2018) and UK/EU <br>fee waiver for three years. <br> <br>The PhD project aims to examine key innovations that inform green chemical <br>research and promote the agenda of sustainability within chemistry in the <br>UK. Specifically, it will investigate the main principles that govern green <br>and sustainable chemical innovation and the barriers to implementation and <br>adoption of sustainable processes within chemical research. <br> <br>The research student is expected to conduct extended multi-sited fieldwork <br>on two new green and sustainable chemical projects in the Department of <br>Chemistry, University of Leicester: extracting gold from ores and recycling <br>of Li-ion batteries. The student will collect various empirical materials <br>that document the emergence of innovation in these projects, their economics <br>and the role that different actors--such as industry stakeholders, civil <br>society organisations, engineers, policy makers, regulators--play in the <br>making and development of green and sustainable innovation. <br> <br>We are particularly interested to hear from applicants who have experience <br>and/or interest in green chemistry and in science and technology studies. <br>The student will be expected to complete training in green chemistry, social <br>science research and sustainability studies. <br> <br>All applicants must apply through the university application system and must <br>submit in addition to the standard required documents the following: (1) a <br>research proposal of no more than 3000 words discussing your approach to the <br>research topic and the research design of the project; (2) a full CV; and <br>(3) two academic references. <br> <br>The closing date is midnight 1st May 2018. All short-listed applicants will <br>be interviewed for suitability. Interviews will take place as soon as <br>possible after the closing date. <br> <br>Please do not hesitate to contact Dr Dimitris Papadopoulos ( <br> dp241@le.ac.uk) to discuss the details of the <br>proposed project. <br> <br>This project is funded by the Cross-College Studentship Scheme of the <br>University of Leicester. <br> <br>Further details and how to apply: <br> <br>https://www2.le.ac.uk/research-degrees/funding/ssah/Cross_College_2018 <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
