Netherlands Centre for Coastal Research
Are you passionate about interaction design and (serious) games? Are you interested in designing and using serious games to bring diverse stakeholders together and to bridge science to society? Join the University of Twente as a PhD researcher!
This research focuses on the design and use of serious/simulation games to support diverse stakeholder in exploring ways to improve climate resilience. We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to develop a serious/simulation game on sand nourishment strategies in support of maintaining and shaping resilient, multifunctional coastal landscapes, particularly in the context of sea level rise. This PhD position will be embedded in the Human Centred Design (HCD) chair, within the Faculty of Engineering Technology (ET).
This research position is part of the NWO-funded **SOURCE** program: Sand nOURisment strategies for sustainable Coastal Ecosystems. The SOURCE philosophy is that carefully planned sand nourishments in the present will create the required and desired resilient and dynamic multifunctional coastal landscapes of the future.
