CfA PhD in Bern: Social Ocean Energy in East Asia
New marine energy technologies are unlocking the ocean as a major green energy source. Who will these new blue industries really benefit? How can we produce sustainable energy, while ensuring a fair deal for local residents and careful preservation of vulnerable coastlines? The Social Ocean Energy team is setting up collaborative work on these questions in East Asia, Indonesia and Canada. With three anthropologists, we pursue social learning with communities towards environmental justice in scaling-up wave and tidal power. The University of Bern is offering a fully-founded four-year PhD position for the East Asia case-study.
