 We are looking for a PhD candidate, with a passion for research to join the flagship initiative Technology Leaving No One Behind, which supports the development of socially sustainable technology development within innovation and entrepreneurship.

Since 2019, DTU Skylab has collaborated with the Bevica Foundation, the Association of Young People with Disabilities (SUMH) and Disabled People’s Organization Denmark (DH) to bring inclusion into innovation, entrepreneurship and education at DTU through the project Technology Leaving No One Behind. The collaboration has already produced great results (read, among other things, debate post from Børsen) and continues as a strategic effort towards 2030, with support from the Bevica Foundation.

You will be part of a project team with a senior project manager, student assistants and form a research team of two (Assistant Professor and PhD student). The research team will focus on method development and research focusing on implementing an inclusive mindset at a technical university and impact measures. 

DTU Skylab and DTU Entrepreneurship are therefore looking for a person who is both proactive and structured, preferably with solid knowledge within the area of social sustainability, and who has a passion for conducting research within inclusion, implementation and impact of social sustainability.

  • How might we identify implementation strategies that are optimal for implementing an inclusive mindset at a university?
  • How can we measure the impact of strategic changes and practical applications aimed at promoting inclusiveness? 
  • How can we measure the potential resulting effect on student mindsets?

The scholarship position is part of a collaboration between DTU Skylab, DTU Entrepreneurship and DTU Management, and will be supported by an academic supervision team from each of these centre’s, however the primary place of work will be in the vibrant hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, DTU Skylab, as part of the project team.
