Duties of the position<\/strong><\/p>\n

The objective of this specific Ph.D. position is to explore and understand the social justice and fairness issues that emerge when consumer flexibility is incentivised and facilitated in the energy system. This includes issues such as the exclusionary divide between those who are affluent enough to avoid flexibility and those who are forced by economic necessity to be flexible, shifting the burden onto those already in energy poverty.<\/p>\n

The project is expected to uncover emerging energy justice issues that are still poorly understood and have been overlooked or ignored in research and policymaking. Through in-depth ethnographic study, the candidate will provide a better understanding of both existing and emerging issues, including an identification of the issues most likely to provoke resistance against consumer flexibility. Results will be transformed into actionable knowledge, enabling the design of energy consumption policies better suited to safeguarding social justice and fairness.<\/p>\n

The position includes periods of secondment with project partners Stavanger Municipality and TU Delft, with supervisors and mentors from both UiS, Stavanger Municipality and TU Delft.<\/p>\n

As an applicant, you must prepare a preliminary project\u00a0proposal for a doctoral project within the subject area, which explains the problem, relevance, theoretical and methodological approach. Your preliminary project\u00a0proposal will be included in the application assessment.<\/p>\n

The proposal must be a maximum of five pages. Applications without a project proposal will not be considered.<\/p>\n

During the first three months of the employment period, the project\u00a0proposal and progress plan will be further developed in cooperation with\u00a0your supervisors and\u00a0completed for the final plan for the PhD-project. A project\u00a0proposal template can be found\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n
