Post-doctoral Researcher on Sustainable Consumer Behavior

Your function

At the VU Amsterdam FSH Department of Communication Science, we are looking for a Post-doctoral Researcher to join our team to work on a project on sustainable consumer behavior. The project, CIVIC-4CE, explores how people can help make the circular economy part of everyday life. 

Many consumers want to extend product lifespans but face barriers such as cost, convenience, lack of access or lack of trust. The project studies what motivates circular choices and, together with businesses, creates new services, digital tools, and policies that make repairing and reusing accessible and desirable. By connecting behavioral research with product design, business models, and governance, CIVIC-4CE brings all actors in society together to build a practical and lasting transition toward a circular system that reduces waste and preserves value for society.
