The Sociology of Science and Technology (SST) research group at the Department of Science, Technology and Society (STS) at Technical University of Munich (TUM) is inviting applications:
Job description:
-
Perform the mapping of science-society interactions as part of the EU HORIZON project “Climateurope2: Supporting and standardising climate services in Europe and beyond”;
-
Work towards joint publications in recognized international, peer-reviewed journals, including co-authored papers with other group members;

About the project:
Climateurope2 aims to develop future equitable
and quality-assured climate services to all sectors of society by: developing standardisation procedures for climate services; supporting an equitable European climate services community; and enhancing the uptake of quality-assured climate services to support
adaptation and mitigation to climate change and variability. The Climateurope2 project is the continuation and extension of a previous European research project, Climateurope (https://www.climateurope.eu/),
involving a wide range of partners in academia, public policy, and the private sector across Europe. The project was launched in September 2022 and will end in 2026. The selected candidate will support a Work Package focusing on Policy Support for Climate
Services, focusing on analyzing the policy contexts within which climate services are being developed in Europe. This research will focus on how “providers” and “users” of climate services interact in different sectors and levels of policy-making and how their
interactions can be mapped in a reflexive way.
