The Chair for Landscape Management at
the University of Freiburg (Germany) invites applications for a
research position in the EU-funded project “Sustainable futures for
Europe’s heritage in cultural landscapes: Tools for understanding,
managing, and protecting landscape functions and values (HERCULES)”.
The project offers unique opportunities for interdisciplinary
cooperation around the cultural landscapes approach within a group of
researchers from 11 European countries.
Responsibilities
With space for pursuing individual
interests, the candidate will
• contribute to a Pan-European
systematic review on actors in landscapes and their management practices,
• analyze landscape services and
values as perceived by local actors (case studies, sites to be defined; participatory mapping and
other approaches),
• identify local-level landscape
stewards and patterns of their activities (social-ecological inventories in several case study
areas),
• identify reasons and requirements
for landscape stewards to become active and successful (e.g., Q-method and/or other
approaches).

or Master) in a relevant discipline (e.g., environmental sciences, human geography, landscape
studies, natural resource management),
