Postdoc on legal aspects of an interoperable offshore electricity grid

 This project is Part of Horizon Europe-funded project InterOPERA. Europe wants to build around 450 GW of offshore wind by 2050. In the future, the cables to connect offshore wind farms will not only transmit electricity directly to shore. They will also serve as interconnectors between countries and transmit electricity between different wind farms. Large, cross-border high voltage direct current (HVDC) electricity systems are needed for this. These systems must be interoperable and mutually compatible. The €69 million project “InterOPERA” will define the future interoperability standards of the multi-terminal high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids in offshore electricity. The project unites more than 20 European partners to cover both the technical and economic challenges as well as the legal and regulatory challenges. The University of Groningen’s main contribution in the project lies with the legal and regulatory framework.

Within the project, a major task is the development of a multi-vendor cooperation framework. This cooperation framework should have a legal basis, which is to be developed in the project, supported by us. The cooperation framework has links to energy law, competition law (cooperation between competitors) as well as intellectual property law (to protect the technology and software developed by the different actors).

The Position
Your role in the project is to contribute to the development of the cooperation framework with your specific legal expertise and independent analysis. You are expected to take an active and independent role in the work of the project and contribute to the relevant project meetings. Moreover, you are expected to contribute to the dissemination and valorisation of this research, by (co)authoring publications on the outcomes, active contribution in conferences and stakeholder dissemination events, as well as by activities that increase the societal impact of the research done in this project.

This is a 0,8 FTE position with a duration of 3,5 years.

Professor of Contemporary Performing Arts (Theatre/Music/Dance)

 Since its foundation in 1614, the University of Groningen has established an international reputation as a dynamic and innovative university offering high quality teaching and research. Its 37,000 students are encouraged to develop their individual talents through challenging study and career paths. The University of Groningen is an international centre of knowledge: it belongs to the best research universities in Europe, and is allied with prestigious partner universities and networks worldwide. For additional information, see this link: https://www.rug.nl/(...)k-with-us/new-staff/. The University of Groningen has a strong commitment to the principles and practices of diversity and inclusion throughout the University community and welcomes candidates who enhance that diversity.

Faculty of Arts
The Faculty of Arts is building on a longstanding tradition of four centuries. Its mission is to be an ambitious top-ranking faculty in terms of both education and high-quality research, with a strong international orientation, firmly rooted in the North of the Netherlands. The faculty creates and shares knowledge through outstanding education and high-quality research, benefitting society.

Arts, Culture and Media
The ACM program is unique in the Netherlands with its doubly interdisciplinary structure: it combines a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives with a broad range of art disciplines where students choose two art forms in their BA studies from music, theatre, film, literature or the visual arts. This rich interdisciplinary and inter-art setting calls for a scholar with openness to interdisciplinarity. Some of the overarching questions studied by the ACM staff are: How do we define the arts and what are their functions? Which roles do the arts play in the lives of individuals, for specific social groups and within society as a whole? How do related media impact the experiences and evaluation of the arts, and how do contemporary and newly emerging art forms relate to each other and the evolution and history of the arts? How have developments such as intermedial art, participatory art, digital art, performance art, sound art, or new media art transformed the arts in recent years? How do these new and emerging forms of arts deal with questions of climate disaster, post-colonialism, gender inequality? Related to this broad range of questions the new chair should also show commitment to thinking about historical changes in discussions about the arts and share a strong commitment to studying how the arts contribute to societal values and individual worldviews.

The Faculty of Arts in the University of Groningen invites applications for the position of Full Professor of Contemporary Performing Arts (Theatre/Music/Dance). This is a full-time and permanent post.

The successful candidate has an excellent, proven track record in the field of Contemporary Performing Arts, both in research and teaching, and has excellent leadership and mentorship qualities. The new professor comes with a rich and varied experience of working in multidisciplinary teams and is able to work in different fields. The chair holder is expected to lead a dynamic team of researchers with varied research interests and disciplinary backgrounds, and to promote and serve the long-term interests of the team and its members within the Faculty of Arts and beyond.

Research
The research task of the professor covers 40% of the appointment. Research in the field of Arts, Culture and Media (ACM) is housed in the Groningen Research Institute for the Study of Culture (ICOG) and, within this, in the Research Center for Arts in Society with theme groups such as ‘Music, Sound and Culture,’ ‘Film and Contemporary Audiovisual Media,’ and ‘Arts, Culture and Cognition.’ Furthermore, members of the Department of Arts, Culture and Media participate in various national research schools, such as the Research School for Media Studies (RMeS) or the Netherlands Institute of Cultural Analysis (NICA). The new chair will actively contribute to at least one of them. The new professor is expected to secure funding for research projects through research proposals in cooperation with academic or non-academic institutions within and outside the Netherlands. The candidate should therefore have experience in setting up national and international research programmes and obtaining funding. An extensive national and international network is essential.
The new chair will also actively seek PhDs students and explore new ways for joint or double degrees.

Teaching
Teaching covers 60% of the appointment (minus compensated management tasks), and the candidate is expected to teach and lead development of courses at all levels in the department. The ACM department provides education at the Bachelor level in the form of the international BA Arts, Culture and Media, the four minors and pre-master programmes, four MA tracks and two Research Master tracks. The new chair will be teaching in the BA program and in one or more of the four MA tracks in ‘Arts & Culture’: ‘Music, Theatre and Performance Studies’, ‘Arts, Cognition and Criticism’, ‘Arts, Policy and Cultural Entrepreneurship’, and ‘Film and Contemporary Audiovisual Media’, as well as the Research MA ‘Arts & Culture’ with its two tracks ‘Arts, Media and Literary Studies’ and ‘Cultural Leadership.’ Which courses the candidate will be teaching will depend on the profile of the candidate and needs of the program.

Management
The new professor leads the chair group Contemporary Performing Arts (Theatre/Music/Dance) and performs service and administrative tasks within and outside the Faculty of Arts. The new chair holder will play an active role in promoting the regional, national and international prestige of the chair group by initiating and contributing to existing societal and networking activities and will represent the chair group through their contacts with academic institutions and societal partners in the Netherlands and abroad.

The position
We seek a candidate with an international reputation as a research leader and a clearly demonstrated record of accomplished teaching and administration.

The professor will:

● coordinate and teach courses in the BA and MA programmes
● instigate, coordinate, and conduct research in the field of Contemporary Performing Arts
● supervise and co-supervise PhD students

Doctoral student in psychology

 Örebro University and School of Behavioural, Social and Legal Sciences are looking for a doctoral student for the doctoral programme in psychology, concluding with a doctoral degree. The start date of the programme is the beginning of September 2023.

Project description

We are looking for a PhD student with an interest in one of the following three research topics:

1. Psychological treatments to improve sleep in teenagers and adults. A PhD student accepted with this project orientation will be supervised by Associate Professor Annika Norell-Clarke.
2. The development of internalizing problems in adolescence, with a focus on the contexts of peers and parent-child relationships. A PhD student accepted with this project orientation will be supervised by Professor Lauree Tilton-Weaver.
3. Parents' use of social media linked to their parenting, with focus on comparisons with other parents and how parents feel validated in their parental role on social media. A PhD student accepted with this project orientation will be supervised by Associate Professor Terese Glatz.

The programme and the doctoral studentship

The doctoral programme consists of courses and an independent research project that you will present in a doctoral thesis. The programme concludes with a doctoral degree and comprises 240 credits, which corresponds to four years of full-time study.

Our ambition is for your doctoral studies to be stimulating and purposeful throughout the programme until you have obtained your doctoral degree. A thorough introduction will therefore get you off to a good start and provide a solid foundation on which you can build your studies. As a doctoral student at Örebro University, you will be offered a specially tailored seminar series, covering matters ranging from doctoral programme rules and careers to support during the study period and networking.

The place on the programme is linked to a full-time doctoral studentship for the duration of the study programme, which corresponds to four years of full-time study. More information on doctoral studentships, part-time studies and part-time doctoral studentships can be found in the Regulations Handbook. The initial salary for a doctoral studentship is 29 100 SEK a month.

Entry requirements and selection

For admission to doctoral studies, applicants are required to meet both general entry requirements and specific entry requirements. In addition, applicants must be considered in other respects to have the ability required to benefit from the programme. For a full account of the entry requirements, refer to the admissions regulations as well as to annex 2 to the general syllabus for psychology.

Applicants meet the general entry requirements for research studies if they:

1. have been awarded a qualification at the Master’s level, or
2. have satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits (four years) of which at least 60 credits (one year) were awarded at the Master’s level, or

Applicants meet the specific entry requirements for doctoral studies in psychology if they, in their higher education, have approved grades on courses of at least 90 higher education credits, including independent work at C-level/bachelor thesis, in psychology (if the candidate has a master’s thesis in psychology, a bachelor thesis in psychology is not needed). Special qualifications also apply to those who have acquired substantially equivalent knowledge within or outside the country.

The selection of eligible applicants is based on their ability to absorb postgraduate education and is carried out in accordance with the university's selection criteria (see annex 2 to the general syllabus for psychology). The position is appointed to the applicant with the highest ranking.

Own research experience in one of psychology's subfields is advantageous, especially if the research was conducted in areas relevant to one of the three research topics (see Project description). In addition, the applicant should be well-versed in research methods. Ability to express oneself both orally and in writing is required, as is a strong command of the English language.
