Co-creating Sharing and Repairing Practices

3 maanden geleden

Delft, Nederland TU Delft Voltijd

Co-creating sharing and repairing practices-
Are you eager to advance sharing and repairing practices? Do you want to lead innovative co-creation research that contributes to circular society transitions? Then this PhD position is for you.

Job description

You will address the following research questions:

- How can co-creation contribute to the effective development of new sharing and repairing practices?
- Which products and/or services can actively facilitate the emergence of new sharing and repairing practices?
- Which ‘practice-prototypes’ have potential to bring about real reduction in material consumption?

During your PhD, you will collaborate with industry partners, local governments, NGOs, end-users, and employees, drawing on real-life case studies and working within a dynamic, multi-disciplinary project team. Workplaces, neighborhoods, and community groups (e.g., sports clubs) will serve as case study settings. By leveraging existing social networks and employing a co-creation methodology, the project aims to explore how everyday citizens, in collaboration with industry and societal stakeholders, can develop and embed new circular practices.

About ShaRepair

This fully funded, 4-year PhD position is part of the NWO funded project Sharepair, which is aimed at embedding sustainable sharing and repairing practices into daily urban life. The project approaches circular consumption through the lens of social practice theory, recognizing that the meanings, skills and material conditions that make up sharing and repairing practices are deeply intertwined with wider social, political, and institutional contexts. Despite their potential for realising circular economy ambitions, sharing and repairing of consumer goods such as electric appliances, furniture, and clothing remain marginal in Dutch society, with challenges in participation and scaling across diverse communities. The ShaRepair project seeks to bridge this gap. Through a co-creative Living Lab approach, involving academic, industry and societal actors, we aim to explore, support, and scale sharing and repairing practices across societal contexts, addressing key knowledge gaps and mitigating unintended consequences like negative rebound effects. Partners include Wageningen University, RUG, Milieu Centraal, Gemeente Amsterdam and Wageningen, Circular IT Group, AMS institute, Circulair Netwerk Wageningen, Natuur en Milieu Gelderland, HAN, and PBL.

**Requirements**:
Driven, enthusiastic and independent thinker
- Experience with participatory research methods, co-creation, co-design, or design thinking approaches and affinity with social practice theory.
- Demonstrated interest in sustainability, environmental issues, and circular economy, and motivation to contribute to positive societal and environmental impacts through research.
- Ability to present complex concepts in a clear and concise manner.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively with diverse stakeholders and in transdisciplinary research contexts.
- Proficiency in English (both written and spoken) is essential.
- Mastery of Dutch is an advantage.
