**ABOUT THE PROJECT**

Severe socio-ecological challenges are increasingly putting our usual ways of doing under pressure. This crisis challenges us to develop new habits, new structures, cultures and practices. In this context, ‘learning’ is often seen as essential to transform our society in a more sustainable direction.

The central research question of the project ‘Transactional Investigations of learning in view of sustainability transitions’ (LESTRA), funded by the European Research Council (ERC), is how learning processes can contribute to sustainability transitions. For this project, we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to strengthen the research team.

**YOUR TASKS**
- You will be involved in the LESTRA team, which conducts social scientific research on the role of learning processes in sustainability transitions;
- You will use conceptual and analytical frameworks developed in the LESTRA project and contribute to their further development;
- You will contribute to empirical analyses in case studies on sustainability transitions in food systems, mobility and energy based on data already collected by the project team;
- You will work closely with the Principal Investigator to synthesise the findings throughout the LESTRA project;
- You will contribute to communicating research results in the form of, for example, presentations at academic conferences, scientific publications and publications/activities for a non-academic audience (e.g. facilitating workshops for policy makers and/or actors involved in sustainability transitions).

**WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR**
- You hold a thesis-based doctorate in a field that is related to social science sustainability research and/or (sustainability) education;
- You have distinguished yourself throughout your education and scientific work;
- You are fascinated by sustainability issues and want to contribute to a better understanding of social change, learning processes and facilitating (learning in the context of) sustainability transitions;
- Knowledge or research that is related to sustainability transition studies and specifically also learning processes in the context of sustainability transitions is an asset;
- You want to conduct social science research within the framework of a so-called 'frontier research' project, funded by the ERC;
- You have a passion for in-depth conceptual work in combination with empirical research;
- You have experience with qualitative research methods;
- You have a very good knowledge of English, knowledge of Dutch, French, German, Spanish and/or Portuguese is an asset;
- You show a sense of initiative;
- You function well in groups;
- You want to contribute to the objectives of the LESTRA research project (see above) and use project-specific theories and methodologies with room for placing your own emphasis.

**WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU**
- We offer you a contract of definite duration for a period of 2 years.
- Your contract will start on 1/04/2025 at the earliest.
- Your remuneration will be determined by salary scale WM1 to WM4 (if you hold a Master’s degree) or salary scale PD1 to PD4 (if you hold a doctorate). Click here for more information about our salary scales.
