Job announcement: Postdoc position at Wageningen University, The Netherlands
<br>Blockchain technology and the digital transformation of food governance
<br>
<br>We invite applications for a 3-year research project that investigates how
<br>blockchain:
<br>
<br>(1) enables alternative schemes for governing sustainable and safe food supply
<br>chains and
<br>(2) challenges and transforms EU food governance.
<br>
<br>From a sociological perspective, the project examines the automation and
<br>privatisation of governance practices implied in alternative schemes, many of
<br>which are in the development pipeline. From a legal perspective, the project
<br>analyses where blockchain could be used to implement EU food law or by private
<br>actors to make food-related sustainability claims and what other legal
<br>requirements apply (e.g. data protection, competition law). From a
<br>transdisciplinary angle, the project will evaluate how the use of blockchain
<br>reconfigures accountability and relations of trust, takes away enforcement
<br>responsibility from Member States and enables fully autonomous private
<br>regulatory regimes.
<br>
<br> -PhD in a social science discipline that is relevant to the topic
<br> -Position for 3 years
