The University of Aberdeen is seeking a motivated PhD student to join the TRANSECTS Project, a UKRI-funded initiative focused on energy transitions in coastal communities. The research will develop innovative frameworks for inter/transdisciplinary collaboration in environmental decision-making, integrating perspectives from environmental science, social science, arts, and research methodology. The project will use case studies from the Humber Estuary, Orkney Islands, and east-coast Scotland to explore marine energy transitions and their impact on sustainability and resilience. The successful candidate will contribute to designing tools and strategies for effective interdisciplinary research and may also assess other projects within the Resilient UK Coastal Communities and Seas Programme. UK fees and an annual stipend are provided. Applicants should have a background or interest in interdisciplinary research related to energy transition and environmental sustainability.
