ABOUT THIS POSITION

The built environment is facing major challenges: climate-neutral cities, circular construction, future-proof (energy) infrastructure, and digitalization. These developments require not only technological innovation, but also innovation in strategy, governance, and the social domain. That’s where you come in. As a junior researcher/advisor, you’ll contribute to projects where we support governments, businesses, and other stakeholders in making complex decisions related to these transitions.

• Analyze decision-making processes and governance issues related to transitions in the built environment.
• Translate technological innovations to societal and governance contexts: you’ll help think about how new technologies, models, and applications can be embedded in society, and what forms of cooperation, policy, or participation are needed.
• Organize work sessions, stakeholder dialogues, and workshops, bringing together different parties to jointly gain insights and set direction.
• Set up and conduct research, often in collaboration with other (technical) TNO colleagues and with external partners such as knowledge institutes, governments, and companies.
• Write reports, articles, and project proposals.
