Founded in 1885 the Department of Geography and Regional Research (IfGR) is the oldest and largest geography department in Austria. It is home to more than 80 researchers and non-academic staff in eight working groups, as well as more than 3,000 students. Since its foundation, it has continuously expanded into new fields for teaching and research within both human and physical geography. This interdisciplinary basis in social and natural sciences provides a dynamic and inspiring environment for researchers to address critical societal challenges of our generation.
The position is assigned to the Urban Studies Working Group. The Group pursues research on the complexity and interactions of social, ecological and technical processes as well as their impacts on the urban system. The Group works both conceptually-theoretically and empirically on urban sustainability transformations and city-specific challenges with the overall aim of contributing to urban sustainability transformations in Europe and Latin America.
We offer a PhD position in an inspiring inter- and transdisciplinary research environment embedded in the working group’s Urban Sustainability Living Lab with the opportunity to become a part of the Vienna International School of Earth and Space Sciences at the Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy.
The employment relationship is initially limited to 1.5 years and automatically extended to a total of 3 years unless the employer submits a declaration of nonrenewal after a maximum of 12 months.
