2 PhD POSITIONS
The University of Vienna seeks to fill – as soon as possible – the position of two University Assistants (prae docs) at the Department of Geography and Regional Research.
These PhD positions are assigned to the Working Group Urban Studies, which pursues research on the complexity and interactions of social, ecological and technical processes in 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 the development of sustainable cities in Europe and Latin America.
