About this position
The Department of Sociology and Political Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim is recruiting a doctoral researcher for a four-year PhD project in sociology.
The project, “Power, governance, and the political economy of fighting antimicrobial resistance,” examines how antimicrobial resistance is addressed through systems of governance, political decision-making and economic relations. The research sits at the intersection of sociology, governance, antimicrobial resistance and science and technology studies, with a focus on the power structures and political-economic processes shaping responses to this complex societal and public-health challenge.
The successful doctoral researcher will join NTNU’s Department of Sociology and Political Science and contribute to a dynamic academic community working across social-science perspectives on institutions, policy, knowledge, technology and society. The position offers an opportunity to develop independent doctoral research while engaging with colleagues studying governance and contemporary societal challenges.
