The Centre for Sustainability Transitions (CST) invites applications for NRF-funded PhD bursaries for studies starting in 2024. The deadline for applications is 18 June 2023.
The CST builds on a strong history of transdisciplinary research and complexity studies at Stellenbosch University, providing a vibrant hub for solution-oriented sustainability science that hosts leading scientists and students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds in a state-of-the-art research centre. The primary objective of the CST is to provide transformational knowledge on the dynamics of multi-scale social-ecological change, and strategic insights into the new modes of research and governance that can bring about a just transition to a more equitable and sustainable society, in southern Africa and globally.
The following PhD bursaries are available for studies starting 2024:
