*Job description*

Pathways to Sustainability
<https://www.uu.nl/en/research/sustainability/research> is a new programme
aimed to stimulate innovative research into sustainability issues at
Utrecht University. Pathways to Sustainability adopts “rigor meets
relevance” as its guiding principle – aiming at promoting interdisciplinary
research and transdisciplinary collaboration with stakeholders. Our aim is
to reposition the University in its endeavour to facilitate the transition
towards a sustainable society.

Sustainability research at Utrecht University is exceptionally strong
already, spanning many different disciplinary fields, including Geo-,
Natural-, Life-, Social Sciences and Humanities. With this new 8 million
euro initiative, funded by the Board of the Utrecht University as well as
the three contributing Faculties, we aim to bring together talented
scholars to identify and actively support sustainability solution pathways
for cities, deltas, food systems and the deep decarbonisation of industry.

Sustainability initiative by analyzing sustainability problems, exploring
