Are you passionate about the social science dimensions of climate change and water scarcity? Do you want to contribute to knowledge on how everyday citizens, policymakers and water service providers are responding to Day Zero situations where water sources become critically low? Then this PhD may be for you!

Join the Wageningen Centre for Sustainability Governance as a PhD Researcher to explore diverse societal responses to hydroclimatic risks. This role involves studying disruptions from severe droughts and examining water scarcity in varied societal contexts (e.g. USA, South Africa, India, Nepal, and Kenya). You will link risk governance with social practice theories, review literature and policy documents, map stakeholders, conduct qualitative fieldwork with everyday citizens, policy and provisioning actors, and analyse practices. You will also engage in science-policy activities and produce academic publications.

We aim to post all comments and forum posts, but will not post anything that we consider unrelated  to the topic under discussion. Your comment will be reviewed before publishing.
