We have successfully completed the first stage pre-selection process to appoint two candidates for each ESR position, except of ESR 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 14.

For these positions, a second call is opened from January 19 thru February 19, 2021.

Housing in many European countries has become unaffordable for many. In fact, it is now considered to be one of the most important national issues in Europe and its solution is proving very challenging.

Affordability and sustainability of housing have been addressed separately, from various disciplinary perspectives (e.g. architecture and planning, economics, sociology) and realms (e.g. policy-making, sustainable development, urban planning, green building). However, recent research indicate that it is necessary to consider the affordability and the sustainability of housing as complementary and interrelated aspects which need to be addressed with a transdisciplinary approach, by combining academic disciplines and engaging non-academic sectors in a common production of knowledge.

Second application period opened for ESR 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 14.

You can send your application until February 19, 2021, 24:00 CET.

Please check the requirements of the position(s) you are interested in and submit your application before the deadline.
