Job content
Are you eager to study how scientific collaboration among researchers impacts the green energy transition?
Train2Wind is a PhD and researcher training network analyzing entrainment in offshore wind farms with computer models and experiments. But it is also a testbed for the study of how researchers collaborate in a network of young and senior researchers.
The aim of this PhD project is to study scientific collaboration and knowledge sharing in the Train2Wind network, which is a cutting-edge example of a long-term, distributed research collaboration. In such collaborations, access to shared data and services is an increasing challenge. The challenge arises, among other things, due to cross-disciplinary differences in terminology and traditions among researchers. Collaboration and data access is also shaped by the information-management systems applied to support collaboration and data access. With a network of 15 senior researchers, 12 PhDs, and 8 short-term fellows distributed across 4 European countries, Train2Wind will only be successful if collaboration is handled well.
The specific focus of this PhD project is to generate new knowledge about technology-supported collaboration in a distributed research environment. This also includes analyzing and understanding the impact of collaborative technologies on information management and providing new insights into the influence of long-term system usability on user acceptance of collaborative technologies. You will also do secondments at the participating partners in Train2Wind.
Application deadline: Sunday, May 17, 2020.
