PhD opportunity in Energy Flexibility and Social Inequalities at Cranfield University, United Kingdom. This project explores how energy flexibility—changing when electricity is used, generated or stored—can support a fairer net-zero transition. The research will examine who benefits from decentralised energy systems, who faces exclusion and how flexibility benefits can be distributed more inclusively. Applicants will develop their own research proposal with Dr Pegah Mirzania. Possible themes inc...

We are seeking a motivated PhD student to focus on developing innovative frameworks to enable and evaluate inter/transdisciplinary research for transformative environmental decision-making. This project will explore how diverse academic disciplines and stakeholder perspectives can be integrated to address urgent sustainability issues. The successful candidate will work at the intersection of environmental science, social science, arts, and research methodology, contributing to the design of tools and strategies that foster effective collaboration and impactful outcomes.
This PhD is directly associated with a recently funded UKRI project - TRANSitions In Energy For Coastal Communities Over Time And Space (TRANSECTS; www.transects.org ). TRANSECTS will combine natural and social sciences with arts and humanities to apply an inter/transdisciplinary spatial-temporal lens, interrogating the shifts out of and into systems of marine energy production and their implications for coastal sustainability and resilience. It takes a place-based approach: exploring differences across geographical scales (micro to macro), between mainland and island communities and different UK regions. Our three case studies - the Humber Estuary, Orkney Islands, and east-coast Scotland (Aberdeen to Edinburgh) - have all experienced these marine energy transitions. It is expected that the PhD will use this project as an indicative case example. There may also be an opportunity to also assess other projects funded by the same call (Resilient UK Coastal Communities and Seas Programme).
