<br>psychology, STS, political science, geography, environmental sciences) and
<br>have interest in social studies of technologies (technology assessment,
<br>risk studies, responsible research and innovation, public perceptions of
<br>technology). Fluent English and Polish language skills, very good
<br>communication, organizational and writing skills are required.
<br>
<br>*Requirements:*
<br>
<br>·         PhD degree in social sciences (sociology, anthropology,

<br>Poland (Warsaw, Poznań, other locations of shale gas exploration in the
<br>South and North of Poland and CO2 storage to conduct fieldwork interviews,
<br>organize stakeholder meetings) and abroad (take part in the project
<br>consortium meetings)
<br>
<br>A successful candidate will carry out the following tasks within the
<br>project’s *WP5 Developing and Sharing Best Practice Recommendations* to:

<br>evidence of best practice internationally, and drawing upon a deep
<br>understanding of public needs.
<br>
<br>•       Exchange and disseminate best practice and knowledge of, inter
<br>alia, technology deployment, public engagement and monitoring
<br>methodologies, both developed within the project and identified from a
<br>global portfolio of projects, in environmental monitoring and risk
<br>reduction.
<br>
<br>•       Co-develop tailor made strategies for stakeholder engagement
<br>through participatory monitoring in actual use cases, to apply and evaluate
<br>these strategies and to draw best practices for participatory monitoring,
<br>as a strategy for engaging local stakeholders in the development of
<br>monitoring programs for geoenergy projects.
<br>
<br>•       Implement a platform for growing and supporting European expertise
<br>in environmental monitoring for subsurface geoenergy, particularly CO2
<br>storage and shale gas production
<br>
<br>•       Establish an expert hub of European and international practitioners
<br>including a training programme for researchers at all levels.
<br>
<br>*Outputs of WP5:*
<br>
<br>•       Recommendations on *best practice* for establishing environmental
<br>baseline conditions (groundwater quality, induced seismicity, ground
<br>movement, emissions to atmosphere) in the subsurface and at the surface for
<br>CO2 storage and shale gas.
<br>
<br>•       WP5 will prepare the way for commercial CCS and shale gas plays in
<br>Europe through *training of early career scientists *on field site
<br>evaluation and monitoring, demonstrating site conformance through
<br>measurement, monitoring and verification techniques, monitoring and
<br>environmental impacts of CO2 or CH4 leakage, monitoring tools and
<br>requirements for site abandonment.
<br>
<br>•       Recommendations and best practices on the engagement of (local)
<br>stakeholders through *Participatory Monitoring*.
<br>
<br>•       *Communication* with non-technical audiences such as journalists,
<br>policy makers and the general public will encourage an informed environment
<br>for CCS and shale gas in Europe. *We will also contribute, upon invitation
<br>by the INEA, to common information and dissemination activities to increase
<br>the visibility and synergies between H2020 supported actions.*
<br>
<br>*Other tasks:*
<br>
<br>·         Participation in project meetings (about 2 per year)
<br>
<br>·         Co-leadership together with the PI from AMU of the task 5.2.2
