Two open PhD positions in Communication Strategies / Communication &

Innovation Studies' conduct research on the role of communication in
individual and collective change processes in four life science
domains: 1) food and health, 3) nature, water and environment, 3)
agriculture and land-use and 4) international development. We invite
ambitious MSc and MA graduates to submit self-developed proposals

Communication Science Department at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.
Candidates must meet the following criteria:

sociology, anthropology, language studies, organisation studies, etc.);
- motivation to do academic research with an orientation to society;
- capacity to carry out high quality social science research, in a
relatively independent manner;
- excellent writing capabilities;
