Dear all,
Please find two Post-doc openings on the Participatory City Making project
funded by the Dutch Research programme Research through Design, part of the
proposition of The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) for
the Topsector Creative Industries (www.nwo.nl/ci).
*Job description*
The increasing complexity cities face calls for a different way of City
Making, one that combines top-down management with bottom-up social
innovation. The STW-funded Participatory City Making project considers the
collaborative construction of new visions through small-scale experimenting
as a way of triggering a process of broader change and transformation. The
project explores methods and intervention strategies for participatory city
making, and aims to take smart city activities a step further than the
generalised smart city ‘visions’ by bringing together theories from
(participatory) design research and transition management as well as
perspectives from design thinking and system thinking.
We are seeking two excellent, motivated, and ambitious post-docs who are
willing to join forces and develop with other researchers an arsenal of new
tools enabling heterogeneous stakeholders to participate actively, as well
as to explore the collaborative envisioned potential and articulate their
own role in the new city making process.
- Post-doc 1 will uncover the unique governance perspective in
participatory city making and will take a central role in developing the
framework, incorporating contributions from partners, and providing
guidelines for the tools.
- Post-doc 2 will focus on the outcomes of the research through the
design approach as well as on the value of prototyping for systemic change.
*Requirements*
Applicants preferably hold a PhD degree in Design Research, Transition
Management, or a closely related field. A willingness to explore the
frontiers of systemic design and design research, and an open,
cross-disciplinary aptitude are essential. Experience with social
innovation and sustainability projects is greatly appreciated.
The post-doc positions are for 24 months, and the work will be executed
both at ID-StudioLab <http://studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl/studiolab/about/>, TU
Delft and at Drift <http://www.drift.eur.nl/>, Erasmus University of
Rotterdam in order to intensify the collaboration between Dr. Ingrid Mulder
<http://www.io.tudelft.nl/over-de-faculteit/persoonlijke-profielen/universitair-hoofddocenten/mulder-ij/>
(TUD)
and Prof. dr. Derk Loorbach <http://www.drift.eur.nl/?p=2712> (EUR).
