[Vacancy] LSTS/HALL is looking for a motivated researcher who will work on a research and innovation project in the area of citizen science.
As part of their duties, the successful candidate will be working on an innovation project (‘SOCIO-BEE’) in the area of citizen science, co-funded by the European Union, in support of the European Green Deal. The project proposes that community engagement and social innovation combined with citizen science through emerging technologies and playful interaction can bridge the gap between the capacity of communities to adopt more sustainable behaviours aligned with environmental policy objectives and between the citizen intentions and the real behaviour to act in favour of the environment (in this project, to reduce air pollution). The project ambitions the scalable activation of changes in citizens’ behaviour in support of pro-environment action groups, local sponsors, voluntary sector and policies in cities.
The researcher is expected to:
- Ensure, in cooperation with research partners from other EU countries, that the research with human participants and the processing of their personal data are conducted in line with ethical standards and legal conditions.
- Assist the project coordinator with other legal issues, including intellectual property rights and gender equality requirements.
- Actively join in the academic activities of LSTS and HALL, helping in competing in national and European funding opportunities, attending and presenting in seminars, assisting in organizing conferences and workshops, and taking part in the development of an appropriate impact assessment framework for technologies used in the context of citizen science.
- Develop a proposal for a doctoral degree (PhD), in the abovementioned field of research.
