PhD New Plant Breeding Technologies

Vor 3 Tagen

Basel, Schweiz Karlstad University Vollzeit

University of Basel ranks among the world’s one hundred best universities and boasts a top-ten place among German-speaking universities.

Project: The Institute for Biomedical Ethics (IBMB) at the University of Basel (http://ibmb.unibas.ch/), is dedicated to research and teaching of biomedical ethics at the Medical and Science Faculties. We are currently looking for a dynamic and independent graduate student (Master's degree) or physician who is interested in carrying out their PhD work in empirical bioethics. The PhD position is part of an exciting research project on the ethical and social implications of new plant breeding technologies funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation as part of the National Research Program NRP84. The project draws from a planetary health ethics approach to investigate ethical and social aspects related to the social and political (non-)acceptance of genetically modified food. It has empirical parts (systematic review of reasons, content analysis of public debates in Switzerland and the US, stakeholder interview study, survey) and an ethical analysis part mapping trade-offs and arguments based on the available literature and the empirical findings. The project is practice-oriented and includes rich implementation activities with various stakeholders, including politicians, farmers, food industry, NGOs, and scientists from plant biology and public health. The PhD candidate will closely collaborate with a Postdoc working on the project.
