FW: PhD position: Transition Pathways and Innovation for Circular Consumption of E-bikes and Electronics
Jaco Quist
Dear colleagues on SCORAI and ERSCP mailing lists,
Glad to let you know that we are hiring a PhD researcher for the CIVIC-4CE project on circular consumption
We’re #hiring. Do you know anyone who is interested in a fascinating PhD position on the transition to circular consumption with a focus on e-bikes and electronics by employing stakeholder workshops, scenarios, and pathways, and diving into circular consumption ecosystems and innovation niches?
Do you want to understand how to organise the transition to circular consumption of e-bikes and electronics by employing stakeholder workshops, scenarios, and pathways, and diving into circular consumption ecosystems and innovation niches?
If this question sparks your interest and you are motivated to pursue a PhD in circular consumption niches and the transition to circular consumption, you might be our new colleague in the Energy and Industry sectin at TU Delft’s Faculty of Technology, Policy Management. See: TPM researchers receive NWO KIC ‘Consumer behaviour for a circular system transition' grant.
In this PhD vacancy, you will work in the work package focused on systemic transitions towards circular consumption and production by integrating behavioural change, visions and transition pathways, modelling, and policy mixes. We are seeking candidates with a Master’s degree in Inter/trans-disciplinary Sciences, Transition or Innovation Studies, Complex Systems Engineering and Management, Engineering & Policy Analysis, Management of Technology, Industrial Ecology, or a relevant Social Science discipline. You will:
- Map emerging circular consumption niches related to e-bikes and electronics (especially domestic equipment).
- Conduct stakeholder workshops and interviews to develop and validate future visions and pathways to circular consumption.
- Combine qualitative and quantitative or socio-technical modelling methods.
- You will collaborate with other (early career) researchers and consortium partners.
Applications are possible till 30 September 2026. Inquiries can be made to j.n....@tudelft.nl.
Best, Jaco Quist
