The main focus of the newly established professorship is the analysis of behavioural and societal challenges related to sustainability, especially in the context of climate change impacts and systemic transformations towards net-zero and climate-resilient societies. The appointed professor should contribute to research at the University of Graz into rapid social change, lifestyle changes, social practices, social norms, preferences, consumption choices, habits, routines and mental models, as part of broader societal, organisational and institutional changes. This may entail analysis of uncertainties in decision-making, synergies and trade-offs, well-being, communication, environmental attitudes, and risk at the individual, group, organization, and other social level, as well as taking into account other long-term challenges.
In addition to disciplinary specialisation, societal and scientific challenges increasingly require gaining knowledge from interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research. The involvement of stakeholders through co-design and co-development is a key feature of research able to respond to the challenges ahead.
The professorship will be integrated into and benefit from the University’s interdisciplinary Field of Excellence, “Climate Change Graz”. We expect the appointed person to help create synergies between research into the fields of environmental systems sciences, climate and global change and systemic transformations, as well as to link university research, research-oriented teaching and transdisciplinary processes.

We offer a diverse, challenging, team-oriented working environment and a high degree of personal responsibility. Working hours are flexible and there are many options for further education and personal development.

Planned dates of the applicant’s presentation: 28.11.2023 to 29.11.2023
