Offer Description
Are you an enthusiastic and experienced researcher with an academic attitude and broad interdisciplinary interest? Do you have a PhD in Spatial or Environmental Planning? And do you combine good communication skills with an affinity with rural and environmental challenges? Then we are looking for you!
The Land Use Planning chair group investigates how we deal with scarcity of space. An increasing number of actors claims space for a wide range of activities: energy production, climate adaptation, recreation, housing, etc. What does this mean for the current ‘owners’ of the countryside, being farmers and nature organizations? Which functions can be combined and which should be separated? How should this be organized? We aim for inclusive solutions and actively engage with stakeholders in all phases of our research. Accordingly, we educate and train a growing numbers of Bachelor, Master and PhD students to become knowledgeable, reflective, and creative landscape architects and planners.
As assistant or associate professor Land Use Planning you will dedicate approximately 40% of your time to teaching and 60% to (commissioned) research and management tasks. You will actively engage in the Dutch debate of how to use our green open space.
Requirements
Specific Requirements
- a PhD in Spatial or Environmental Planning, Geography, or another related field;
- demonstrated interest in rural and environmental topics;
- knowledge of the Dutch situation regarding spatial planning and (rural) policy;
- at least three publications in international, peer-reviewed ISI journals;
- experience in teaching, preferably also in course coordination;
- good communicative and writing skills;
- willingness to contribute to general tasks and activities of the chair group;
- at least a reasonable command of Dutch, and an excellent command of English (C1 level).
