Societal impact:

The chair bridges the gap between academic research and professional and societal challenges. To ensure that empirical findings can be translated into concrete societal solutions, the Chair holder has established and will continue to establish long-term and trusted collaborations with professional and civil society organizations. These connections are crucial for identifying urgent research themes, converting research results into practical solutions (such as guidelines and reports) and creating support for organizations to implement changes. In addition, the chair holder will actively participate in social debates to generate impact.

PhD: Identifying sustainability transition conflicts

About the project

In this four-year PhD project, you will investigate how citizen collectives (CCs) act as early detectors and mediators of societal tensions in living environments in the Netherlands.
Societal transitions toward sustainability and justice are not without challenges or disputes and polarization often emerges - between political ideologies, economic interests, or social values. This project explores how CCs can identify and respond to these “transition tensions” - such as the conflict between urgent climate action and principles of equity - before they escalate, and how their community-based engagement can contribute to avoiding transition backlash and advancing just societal change.

You will work with CCs that operate at the intersection of communities and societal change – both studying as well as helping design strategies for navigating tensions surrounding political ideologies and socio-economic disparities. Therewith you contribute to a broader understanding of how local, community-based organizations can offer solutions for larger societal divides. Using methods such as multi-criteria mapping and participatory action research, you will co-design interventions that help CCs recognize, discuss, and address these tensions.

A key outcome of the project will be the development of a “Pluralizer tool” - a practical and research-based instrument to help CCs in fostering transitions while navigating and embracing the inherent conflicts that arise.

Your role
As the PhD researcher, you will:

• Design and implement the research independently (with guidance from your promotors/supervisors).
• Collect and analyse longitudinal data that covers multiple CCs.
• Collaborate with other PhD researchers within the ECCO (Empowering Citizen Collectives) consortium, which brings together 11 PhD projects across Dutch universities.
• Work on academic publications and societal knowledge exchange.

What we offer

• A four-year, fully funded PhD position at Erasmus University Rotterdam.
• The opportunity to implement cutting-edge, societally relevant research that bridges sustainability transitions, polarisation and community-based action.
• Tailored research training and development through the Erasmus Graduate School of Social Sciences and the Humanities.
• Access to a vibrant community of PhD peers within the ECCO consortium and the Governance & Pluralism team, which helps you to find your way in academia at Erasmus University Rotterdam.
