PostDoc position 2 years in the project “INSIGHTS – Lessons learned for engaging at science-society interfaces”
eawag
The ‘accompanying research’ (‘Begleitforschung’) project INSIGHTS carried out jointly by Eawag and EPFL will derive overarching lessons learned and best practices on how to engage with different societal actors at science-practice and science-policy interfaces, using four Joint Initiative Projects as empirical case studies. Joint initiatives (JIs) are large-scale inter- and transdisciplinary projects co-funded by the ETH Board and conducted by the institutions of the ETH Domain (ETHZ, EPFL, WSL, EAWAG, PSI, EMPA) and external partners.
The project will be part of a broader effort within Eawag to foster systematic learning across larger inter- and transdisciplinary research projects, programs or initiatives (Wings, Trapego, Trebridge, BGB) with a view to developing ‘how to’ practical knowledge for strengthening dialogue processes at these interfaces. In particular, the project will address the following research questions:
How are dialogue processes in JIs structured and developed over time?
What challenges and opportunities do project members (researchers and societal actors) experience? What strategies do they employ to overcome challenges and leverage opportunities?
What contributions do JIs make to science and society?
What lessons learned and best practices can be derived for future initiatives aiming at engaging with different societal actors at science-society interfaces?

PhD Student in Innovation Economics
ETH Zurich
The KOF Swiss Economic Institute at ETH Zurich is the leading institute for applied economic research in Switzerland. The Division Innovation Economics conducts high-quality empirical research. We use advanced methods to collect a wide variety of (big) data and analyze them using state-of-the-art econometric and text analytic methods. The division provides the basis for evidence-based policy making in Switzerland and publishes its analyses in leading field journals. The KOF is associated with the Department of Management, Technology and Economics (D-MTEC) at ETH Zurich.
Project background
The successful candidate will examine the development of the circular economy and explore which factors can support the transition to a circular economy or how the digital transformation is affecting the economic structures and competitiveness of companies or how knowledge diffuses in networks. The specific research topic will be developed in collaboration with the candidate to ensure that it aligns with their research interests and expertise while also contributing to the broader objectives of our research group.

Lise Meitner Excellence Program
Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research
The Max Planck Society has initiated a number of measures to attract increasing numbers of women to a career in science and provide them with equal opportunities for all stages of their career. An important initiative is the Lise Meitner Excellence Program. The position as a Lise Meitner Group Leader will be advertised to recruit and promote exceptionally qualified female scientists. There is a multi-stage, competitive selection process, held in close consultation with interested Max Planck Institutes. The Lise Meitner Groups are furnished with their own resources for their entire duration.
The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) encourages social scientists and demographers to apply for this program.
