Housing constitutes a foundational pillar of societies and their economies. It is an essentially spatial phenomenon with diverse implications regarding human needs and the environment. Its construction, development, provision, and accessibility vary widely across regions and globally – and so do its life cycles, ecological impacts, and resilience to environmental risks.
Current sustainability challenges in housing are therefore multi-faceted and offer an exciting spectrum for PhD projects at the Dresden Leibniz Graduate School. Against this backdrop, the DLGS invites creative and visionary research proposals to apply for a PhD scholarship. Research projects with an interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary approach are strongly encouraged. Graduates of Master's programmes with an excellent to good degree are eligible to apply. The degree should be in a subject relevant to spatial sustainability transformation, e.g. geography, urban and regional planning, architecture and civil engineering, environmental sciences, science and technology studies, economics, transition studies, sociology, political science and others.
Application deadline: 1 September 2024
