PHD POSITION ON METHODOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF ADOPTING EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES IN SYSTEMIC DESIGN

PREpare Oversseas

Nov 22, 2023

DEADLINE: December 29, 2023

(How) Can emerging technologies improve our understanding of complex socio-technical interactions involved in addressing societal challenges? We are looking for a highly motivated and passionate candidate for a PhD position to critically examine the implications of adopting emerging technologies such as AI, XR, IoT and Big Data to better understand, visualise and manage complex societal systems.


As a PhD candidate, you will first investigate how the academic community has responded to using emerging technologies to generate knowledge addressing complex societal problems. You will then analyse the broader implications of these technologies within the framework of systems thinking approaches (see da Costa Junior et al., 2019). Furthermore, you will collaborate with multiple actors, such as private-public partnerships, non-profit organisations and companies, to identify leverage points, develop solutions to address significant societal challenges and test novel methods, frameworks, and tools.


The PhD candidate will:

  • Conduct research on adopting emerging technologies to better understand, visualise and handle complex systems.

  • Explore the implications of adopting emerging technologies in systemic design research and practice.

  • Establish collaborations with actors from different sectors, including public services, organisations, industries, and citizens, to conduct transdisciplinary research.

  • Present research results at national and international conferences, workshops and in journals.
