Dear Colleagues, Please share this PhD position with your networks and encourage students to apply. Full details can be found here: https://employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=161105. Application deadline is 10 March.
Thanks, Michele PhD Scholarship at the Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen (UCPH): Transnational Governance at the Climate-Biodiversity Frontier Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship at the Department of Political Science. Supported by the Independent Research Fund Denmark, the chosen candidate will work on the project ‘Transnational Governance and the Politics of Transformative Change at the Climate-Biodiversity Frontier’ alongside Professor Michele Betsill (PI) and co-investigators Professor Harriet Bulkeley (Durham University/Utrecht University) and Professor Stacy VanDeveer (University of Massachusetts Boston). Enrollment will be at the Faculty of Social Sciences under Copenhagen Graduate School of Social Sciences. The chosen candidate will work with team members to compile and analyze a novel database of transnational governance initiatives (TGIs) that address simultaneously the intertwined challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and social justice. The project seeks to understand how TGIs are delineating the climate-biodiversity frontier as a new site for governance intervention and political contestation by answering two research questions: 1) What forms of transnational governance are emerging to simultaneously address climate, biodiversity, and social goals? and 2) How are the interconnections between climate change, biodiversity loss, and social justice framed and contested through the work of TGIs? The chosen candidate will write their PhD thesis within the overall topic of transnational climate-biodiversity governance including, but not limited to, studies using the database. Funding is available for conference attendance and research visits such that the candidate can develop their international network and research expertise. The position starting date is 1 September 2024, or as soon as possible afterwards. ---- Michele Betsill Professor of Global Environmental Politics I have sent this at a time that suits my workflow and time zone.
