At NTNU, Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture, we have a 3-year vacancy for a PhD Candidate in STS (science and technology studies). The PhD position is part of the interdisciplinary FME Centre Hydrogeni.  For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

The PhD will also be part of the Centre of Technology and Society and the research group on energy, climate and the environment. Interdisciplinary collaboration within the FME Centre Hydrogeni and the Centre for energy, climate and environment is envisaged.

The PhD candidate will work within the area of Sustainability Transitions research focusing on transformative policy mixes for cross-sectoral interactions and societal acceptance of Hydrogen. The current development of the hydrogen economy in Norway is built on a multi-level logic where regional, national and international dynamics interact, and where interests across sectors need to be aligned to succeed. This project uses the concept of transformative policy mixes for cross-sectoral interactions to understand the interactions between levels and sectors, to advance community acceptance, policy acceptance and market acceptance for hydrogen in Norway and beyond.

Your immediate leader is Head of Department, Department of Interdiciplinary Studies of Culture.
