Are you interested in sustainable transitions, group processes and farmer identities? Are you looking for a PhD position with both scientific and societal impact? In that case, this PhD position at the Environmental Psychology research group at the University of Groningen might just be what you are looking for. This PhD position is embedded in the large-scale transdisciplinary project Re-Ge-NL focused on accelerating the transition to a regenerative, remunerative and socially supported agricultural sector in the Netherlands (https://regenl.nl/).
Are farmers motivated to contribute to sustainability transitions in the agricultural sector? Your research will investigate how farmers’ personal and social identities predict support for these sustainability transitions, and how these personal and social identities vice versa are transformed by the wider societal context in which these transitions take place (e.g. farmer protests and sustainability initiatives, nitrogen policies, and public perceptions of farmers).
Under the supervision and guidance of Prof. Lise Jans and Dr Thijs Bouman, and within a consortium of multidisciplinary researchers and diverse societal partners within the agricultural sector, you will work on furthering understanding on the motivational influence of farmer identities in advancing sustainable transitions. Using longitudinal surveys among farmers and citizens and experimental methods, you will examine how farmer identities shape, and are shaped by, sustainability transitions in the agricultural sector.
