We are confronted with various global challenges, including climate change and obesity, threatening human and planetary health. Scientific consensus is growing that the protein transition is part of the solution: The substitution of animal proteins with plant-based proteins. This transition contributes to improving planetary health and public health. A successful protein transition requires behavioral changes among many people, which starts with a committed minority of people initiating change, until a tipping point is reached after which the majority of the population adopts the new behavior. Little is known on what accelerates the further spreading of the new behavior from the minority towards the majority. Therefore, this PhD project will focus on the temporal dynamic of resistance to change. We are seeking a PhD candidate to join our interdisciplinary research project, which explores the relationship between meat reduction and social norms. The project will examine how individuals vary in their experience of resistance and perception of social norms related to reducing meat consumption. Additionally, it will focus on how this resistance changes over time and how personalized strategies, such as microtargeted messaging, can help decrease resistance and strengthen social norms in favor of reducing meat consumption. The PhD researcher will build on multiple (quantitative and qualitative) methods, combining among others segmentation studies, longitudinal natural research and experimental research to understand the cause and course of resistance in relation to social norms, in order to use these insights to examine how acceptance of meat reduction can be boosted. **Your duties and responsibilities include:** * carry out innovative, societally relevant research on meat consumption and social norms; * participate in relevant conferences, be an active member of research groups; * disseminate research among relevant societal groups and stakeholders; * assist in teaching and management tasks (max 20% of your contract). This project draws on different disciplines from social sciences, including psychology, communication science, and sociology. The PhD candidate is not expected to be an expert in all disciplines upfront but should possess broad curiosity, ability to navigate multiple fields, and enthusiasm about cross-disciplinary learning and development. There is, moreover, ample opportunity and freedom to further shape this project, which requires creativity and taking initiative. **You have:** * A MSc degree in the behavioural or social sciences, preferably a research master in Psychology, Communication Science, Behavioural Science, or a related science; Candidates currently finalizing their Master's are also eligible to apply; * Background in quantitative methods for behavioral research (e.g., behavioral experiments, Ecological Momentary Assessment) and solid statistical skills (e.g., R), and willingness to learn new methods and interdisciplinary approaches; * Affinity with scientific research on social norms and psychological resistance to change, and the domains of health and sustainability; * Excellent communication and analytical skills, an open and inquisitive personality, and the capacity to work independently; * Proficiency in Dutch or willingness to learn Dutch is an advantage. **Your job** **You will work here** Because of the interdisciplinary character of the project, the PhD will be jointly embedded within and the .

We are currently looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our team (4 years, full time, fully funded) at the Hydrology and Environmental Hydraulics Group at Wageningen University to extensively scrutinize models that are used for decision support through sensitivity analysis. Computer models facilitate anticipatory governance. But models are not neutral - they conceal value-laden choices, such as which processes and system boundaries are represented in the conceptual model, the model approaches, data sets used, and model applications. This implies that certain perspectives are favored by the model. Since decisions based on such value-laden models have real-world consequences, it is essential to understand how these models obtained the legitimacy to serve as policy advisors and the different consequences of this for distinct groups in society and ecosystems. The LEGIT project aims to uncover the factors and processes through which water-management models acquire legitimacy to support decisions. This will be done with an interdisciplinary research team. In this PhD project, as part of the LEGIT project, you will investigate how water management models obtain the authority to serve as policy advisors for three different cases in which models are used to support water-management related decisions: one in the Netherlands, one in the US, and one in Australia. Your research will specifically investigate the models underlying these decisions. You will conduct an extensive sensitivity analysis of these models, where the factors to investigate are based on interviews with policy makers, modellers and other stakeholders (these interviews are, at least partly, done by other team-members). As such, you explore the model result space spanning sensible modeling choices, which may be much larger than the results that are formally used or explored for decision support. You will be part of an interdisciplinary team, where other team members will focus on the social, political and institutional boundaries of model legitimacy, and on the modellers themselves. Intense collaboration within the team is foreseen, including conducting the fieldwork abroad. For this position, we are looking for enthusiastic candidates who have strong technical skills to run highly complex water-management decision support models, and who at the same time can critically reflect on these models. Openness to interdisciplinarity and collaborating with social scientists is a must. Affinity or experience with hydrology or water management is a big plus. As a PhD candidate in our group, you will join the PhD program of the WIMEK graduate school. The selected candidate is expected to finish the 4 year project by writing a PhD thesis that contains a series of peer-reviewed journal articles. **Your qualities** **Specifically, you will:** * develop your own research proposal; * investigate three different, highly complex, models that are used for decision support in the Netherlands, the United States and Australia; * identify and prioritize the factors, parameters and components that are uncertain or susceptible to debate in these models based on interviews, which are at least partly done by other team-members * conduct extensive sensitivity analysis on these models based on the identified priority list * collaborate with other team members who have a social sciences background and who will focus on the social, political, and institutional factors influencing model legitimacy * write scientific publications as part of your PhD dissertation; * take part in (international) workshops and conferences, and engage in the organization of activities related to the research project, such as outreach to decision makers; * engage actively in the activities and collaborations of the research team; * spend up to 10% of your time on education and supervision of BSc/MSc students. **You have:** * a completed (or about to be completed) MSc degree, preferably but not necessarily with a link to Earth Sciences, physical geography, water management, or hydrology; * strong technical skills, that allow you to run highly complex models. Experience with modelling and sensitivity analysis is a strong asset; * a very strong motivation for interdisciplinary team-work, collaborating with social scientists and making advances through intense collaboration. This requires continuous reflexivity; * a strong motivation to understand the role of computer models in decision making; * motivation to plan and conduct fieldwork in the Netherlands and beyond; * good organizational and communication skills.
