<br>The applicants are expected to have a background in qualitative social

<br>
<br>The successful candidates will be part of the Technologies in Practice
<br>(TiP) research group and employed in the ITU’s Dept. of Business IT.
<br>There they will work as part of the research project SOCCAR
<br>(Sociocultural Carbon) funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark’s
<br>Sapere Aude programme. The SOCCAR project consists of a small dedicated
<br>team aiming at understanding the sociocultural role and value of carbon
<br>data and carbon technologies in the contemporary societal context of the
<br>climate crisis.
<br>
<br>PhD 1 is expected to conduct an independent ethnographic project
<br>studying the use and value of carbon data within one or more church
<br>communities, for example related to the Danish Green Church initiative.
<br>Key questions include how the value of carbon data and climate change
<br>more generally is assessed in relation to choices or habits of
<br>consumption, lifestyle and community.
<br>
<br>PhD 2 is expected to conduct an independent ethnographic project
<br>studying the value of carbon data within an urban community dependent
<br>upon fossil fuel, for example the Norwegian city of Stavanger. Key
<br>questions include how the value of carbon data and climate change more
<br>generally is assessed in relation to choices or habits of consumption,
<br>lifestyle and community.
