PhD Position NWA project "ChangeAble; Accelerating Climate Action by Leveraging Behavioural Change"

UvA | Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences

Salary：€2,901 - €3,707

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 15 Mar 2025

To limit global warming to 1.5°C and adapt to climate change, system transitions are urgently needed. Government intervention through climate policy is crucial for driving these transitions. While policy has been effective in promoting technological change, it struggles to induce lasting behavioural change. The NWO funded NWA project “ChangeAble: Accelerating climate action by leveraging behavioural change” identifies the relationship between climate policy, behaviour, and other enabling conditions as critical for successful government action in system transitions. Different knowledge institutions and societal partners have combined their strengths to inform and engage with policymakers. TU/e, UvA, RUG, HvA, RU, Natuur & Milieu, TNO and the National Climate Platform (NKP), amongst others, bring together scientific expertise and societal involvement.

This interdisciplinary 5-year PhD project combines insights from Communication Science and Psychology, specifically focusing on identifying individual and social drivers for sustainable behavioural change over time, as well as resistance to change. Furthermore, the project aims to identify the potential of behavioural change policies and interventions. By collaborating with another PhD candidate at TU/e, postdocs at RUG and UvA, as well as several researchers at HvA and other organizations, this PhD project will generate new scientific insights and help develop actionable recommendations for the Dutch government to design and implement effective, feasible policies—thereby contributing to accelerating the sustainable transition.

As a PhD candidate, you will:

• Design studies into understanding climate attitudes and changing climate related behaviour, in particular by interviewing stakeholders, doing social media analysis, and conducting quantitative surveys;
• Investigate how communication may impact public actions;
• Translate this research into scientific papers and conference presentations;
• Intensively collaborate with the partners in the consortium, including societal stakeholders and government;
• Discuss with policy makers citizen’s willingness to change and potential policy implications

Please note that this is a special type of PhD project, focused on making direct societal impact and working as part of a larger consortium. You will work for 20% of your time at the organizations involved in this project (e.g., ministries) on with the aim of improving impact of the research. In addition, 5% of your time will be dedicated to collaboration activities within the consortium. As such, the timeline for the project is longer than traditional PhD projects to ensure there is sufficient time to work on the studies related to the dissertation.

Your experience and profile

• You have a (research) Master’s degree in Communication Science, Social Psychology or related disciplines, or will obtain this degree before the start of the position;
• Experience with quantitative research methods and data analyses (e.g., SPSS - experience with R is a plus);
• Outstanding organizational skills, high conscientiousness, flexibility, pro-activeness and a collaborative attitude;
• Excellent oral and written communication skills in English;
• An excellent spoken and written command of Dutch (as this project will comprise conducting Dutch-language research among and keeping in touch with Dutch-speaking stakeholders);
• Passionate about making an impact through research, particularly related to climate change, behaviour change, and policy;
• Interested in working in an interdisciplinary team;
• Open to feedback;
• Strongly committed to methodological rigour and scientific integrity; and willing to achieve a high transparency of methods, materials, and data (e.g. pre-registration and Registered Reports);
• Able to work independently;
• Eager to learn and to develop new skills;
• Motivated to share exchange knowledge with academic and non-academic audiences.
