Lund University (Sweden) now announces a vacant position in the doctoral programme with a focus on "Petrochemicals and climate change governance". The Ph.D. position is fully funded for four years and placed at Environmental and Energy Systems Studies, Faculty of Engineering. Social scientists are more than welcome to apply!
The deadline for submitting an application is July 13, and the planned entry date is Sept 1, 2020.
The PhD candidate will be connected to the research project "Petrochemicals and climate change governance: Powerful fossil fuel lock-ins and policy options for transformative change". The project is an interdisciplinary project in which researchers from several departments at Lund University (Environmental and Energy Systems Studies, Economic History, and Political Science), IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute and the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies collaborate. The project aims to investigate different areas of the global petrochemical industry and their implications for climate change mitigation: important actors and networks in the sector; connections to and dependence on global finance and capital; the involvement of the petroleum industry in the sector; global governance and policy options. The PhD candidate is expected to contribute to several of these areas in her/his work. It is thus expected that the PhD student will work with both quantitative data, e.g. from databases on foreign direct investments, as well as qualitative analysis, e.g. case studies based on interviews and documents.
