PhD Transition Pathways T4E farming

                The Science, Technology and Policy Studies department at the University of
<br>Twente is looking for
<br>a (4 year) PhD candidate to study expectations and imaginaries and explore
<br>possible transition pathways related to the new concept of
<br>'Technology-4-Ecology-based farming' (T4E). The PhD project is part of the
<br>Synergia project, which aims to develop ecological forms of arable, dairy and
<br>horticulture farming and new types of technological and socio-technical
<br>systems that challenge current forms of agriculture. The successful candidate
<br>will investigate the implicit and explicit concepts and visions of these new
<br>forms of farming and identify challenges and tensions. These insights will
<br>feed into exploration of socio-technical scenarios and transition pathways,
<br>which will be conducted together with stakeholders and partners in the
<br>project. This will serve as a basis to deduce requirements and options for
<br>responsibly governing transformative change. This PhD is part of the Science,
<br>Technology & Policy Studies (STePS) group, and supervised by prof.dr. S.
<br>Kuhlmann and dr. Kornelia Konrad.
<br>The Synergia project is a crossover program funded by the Netherlands
<br>Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). For more information see
<br>https://technology4ecology.org.
