About this position

Aalborg University in Denmark invites applications for a three-year, full-time PhD position in Local Co-Ownership in Landscape Transition Processes, based at the Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology within the Technical Faculty of IT and Design. The position is available from 1 January 2027 or soon thereafter and is affiliated with the Architecture and Urban Design section and the Urban Design Research group.

The PhD project investigates how communication, dialogue and participation can strengthen local commitment and meaningful involvement in nature restoration and landscape transformation. As part of a larger project led by the National Park Thy Foundation, the researcher will study how co-ownership and long-term local engagement can help landscape initiatives become understood, accepted and embedded in local communities.

The work will follow and evaluate community-engagement activities, examining which participation formats are effective, for whom and under what conditions. Research topics include place attachment, trust, perceived influence, participation opportunities, barriers to engagement and how communities imagine alternative futures. Methods may include stakeholder mapping, interviews, observations, surveys, workshops, co-design and co-production.

Applicants should hold a relevant master's degree in urban design, urban or regional planning, sociology, landscape architecture or a related field. Experience with qualitative, participatory, design-oriented or quantitative research methods is valuable, and applicants should be willing to travel to and stay in Thy while engaging with local stakeholders. PhD requirements include 30 ECTS of coursework, teaching or knowledge dissemination, and preferably a 3–6 month external research stay abroad.

The position is a salaried PhD fellowship under the Danish state academic collective agreement. Applications must include a motivation letter, CV, bachelor's and master's diplomas with grades, a maximum three-page research project description and other relevant documents. The application deadline is 11 November 2026. Interviews are scheduled for 7–12 December 2026.
