Two PhD and one postdoc positions in the research project “Follow the money ! REconstructing Belief systems behind Urban Intensification and Land-rent Distribution” (REBUILD), Institute of Geography, University of Bern and Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning, Utrecht University

Two PhD and one postdoc positions in the research project “Follow the money ! REconstructing Belief systems behind Urban Intensification and Land-rent Distribution” (REBUILD) at the Institute of Geography of the University of Bern and at the Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning at Utrecht University.

Focusing on case studies in Switzerland and in the Netherlands, this SNF project aims to better understand urban densification as a contested process of land-rent creation and redistribution, exposing tensions between actors, values, and discourses. We hypothesize that entrenched discourses around land rent reproduce growth-oriented logics in densification projects, systematically obstructing the achievement of densification’s proclaimed sustainability goals.

Application deadline in Berne : For full consideration, please submit your materials by May 15, 2026. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis after that deadline until the position is filled.

Application deadlin in Utrecht : For full consideration, submit your materials by May 8, 2026. Interviews are expected to take place at the end of May.
