The objective of RESCOPAR is to study the social and ecological resilience of coastal populations and aquatic resources, with an emphasis on mangrove ecosystems, shrimp culture and associated diseases and coastal fisheries. Within the framework of the INREF- RESCOPAR program, there is a vacancy for a PhD student under the joint supervision of the WU Chairgroup “Rural Development Sociology” and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences.

You have a keen interest in integrative scientific research. We request from the candidate a collaborative and team-player attitude, with an open mind for other scientific approaches. You are self-reliant, independent and full of initiative. You have a strong ambition to upgrade your knowledge and academic skills.
