About the Project

The WEIRD project focuses on understanding and redefining just sustainability transformations from disability and queer perspectives. We aim to critically examine the current state of sustainability research, understand how people with disabilities and gender minorities contribute to sustainable futures, and develop new theories of justice in sustainability transformations.

The project is organized into two main tracks: one exploring the intersection of environmental sustainability and disability, and the other investigating the intersection of environmental sustainability and queer perspectives.

Our approach emphasizes intersectionality, centering the experiences of disability and queer communities, and engaging with non-Western and Indigenous perspectives.

As a member of the WEIRD team, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of intersectional approaches, participate in team activities, and engage in research collaborations.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing your own research project on queer environmental transformation
  • Participating in team meetings and contributing to the development of ethical and methodological guidelines for disability and queer environmental research
  • Conducting qualitative and mixed-methods research on queer environmental issues

Requirements:

  • Master's degree in a relevant field, such as disability studies, transdisciplinary sustainability science, or environmental humanities
  • Experience in qualitative and mixed-methods research
  • Excellent English writing skills
  • Ethical sensitivity and competence to work with vulnerable populations and minorities

We offer a dynamic and inclusive work environment, opportunities for professional growth, and a competitive salary package.
