PhD in (Environmental, Cultural) History

Is interdisciplinary research one of your key interests? We are looking for a PhD to join the DCC-funded project ‘Delta Values’ led by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from Utrecht University and University College Roosevelt to understand how residents have been living, live, and foresee their future in Zeeland, considering the presence of hazards, and how are they adapting to the current and future changes of the environment./nThe PhD project is a pilot for an interdisciplinary learning trajectory of 4 years collaborating between different social sciences and the humanities, but also with a range of educational and societal partnerships./nThe project explores how communities of Zeeland can be supported to better coexist with their local environment, by engaging with local histories, and accessing the power of narratives to co-create hopeful narratives around life in a constantly shifting deltaic ecosystem./nLocation: Vlissingen, Zeeland province, Netherlands. Hosted at the Delta Climate Center (DCC) with partnerships across Utrecht University and University College Roosevelt.
