STS 얘기를 이해하고 대화하려고 하는 Frank Geels가
하는 에너지 전환 프로젝트로 알고 있는데, 관심있는 분들에게
알려주시면 좋겠네요. 자동차 문명이라.. Big 3에 대한 bailout이
거부된 지금... 시의적절한 주제같군요.

SPRU (Science and Technology Policy Research) at the University of
Sussex is pleased to offer a 3.5 year research position, to start in
March 2009 (or April with negotiation).
One of the stipulations for this position is that the successful
applicant will be required to undertake a PhD degree at SPRU, starting
October 2009. The successful applicant will work as part of a larger
ERC funded research programme (DESTABLE), led by Professor Frank W.
Geels, which investigates �transitions to sustainability� from a new
angle. Instead of focusing on the emergence of promising green
novelties, the programme addresses the destabilisation and decline of
existing (unsustainable) industries. The programme analyzes the
mechanisms in destabilisation, focusing on the interplay between
institutional, economic and strategic pressures and processes. The
research programme is multi-disciplinary and combines insights from
evolutionary economics, sociology of technology, and neo-institutional
theory. Empirical work in this PhD project focuses on the car
industry, using case studies as the main method.
The deadline for application is 17.00 hours, 23 January 2009.
