Postdoc (f/m/x) – Designing Narratives for Sustainability Transformation

Narratives are considered critical for achieving transformations to sustainability. Improved knowledge on the design of novel narratives for sustainability transformation will contribute to promoting transformative change. The Department of Environmental Politics is seeking at the earliest possible date a Postdoc (f/m/x).
