Three PhD positions (m/f/d) in Science & Technology Studies (STS) on Mobility & Society at TU Munich
The professorship of Innovation, Society & Public Policy (Prof. Sebastian Pfotenhauer), based at the Munich Center for Technology in Society (MCTS), Technical University of Munich, announces a new research group that will investigate future mobility at the intersection of societal needs, urban technopolitics, and spatial (re)configurations. The group will consist of three PhD candidates and up to three postdocs (details on doctoral positions in a second announcement), led by a senior researcher. The group is affiliated with the Munich Cluster for the Future of Mobility in Metropolitan Regions (MCube), funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
All positions are university positions within structured projects, which means a strong focus on research and responsibilities in managing the projects, with optional teaching responsibilities. The advertised positions in the group correspond to three larger MCube cluster projects in which the group participates. For more information, see the official project pages (links below). Keep in mind that the available positions are tied to work packages within the projects that focus on qualitative social science research, particularly in these three focus areas: (1) Responsible experimentation (projects TrEx and ReMGo) (2) Post-pandemic cities (project TrEx) (3) Mobility justice (project MGeM)
