Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the project seeks to explore the concepts of "system" and "territorial system," as well as identify and analyse the complex interactions among territorial system components. The objective is also to familiarize with the concept of balance to propose and study the relevance of a "dynamic territorial balance" concept, emphasizing the well-being of territory occupants. The approach also aims to develop a robust theoretical model, which, at a later stage, will be implemented in the development of the envisioned tool, in the form of a modular and scalable web application. Main Responsibilities: The selected individual will significantly contribute to various aspects of the research project, including: • Conducting in-depth literature reviews focusing on well-being, balance, and systems concepts, with specific emphasis on territorial systems, their modelling, and evaluation. This process is essential to strengthen the project's theoretical foundations, laying a solid groundwork for subsequent stages. • Actively participating in written and oral communications, bringing innovative perspectives. • Proposing innovative theoretical approaches to modelling, significantly contributing to advancing the research project. • Likely to manage surveys or conduct interviews. • Likely to present the research project and completed work in English or French, in person or via video conference, to specialized audiences, in France or Europe (seminars, conferences, etc.). Additional Responsibilities: Depending on the methodology adopted by the selected individual, additional tasks may be necessary. Application Procedure: Candidates are requested to first contact Mr. Hachette as soon as possible and then send their CV and cover letter by June 30, 2024. Although not mandatory, a candidate's application accompanied by a brief example of written work and letters of recommendation will be highly appreciated. ---------------------------------------- L'annonce est située https://georezo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=366953#p366953 Pour vous désabonner connectez-vous sur le forum puis Profil / Abonnement -- Association GeoRezo - le portail géomatique https://georezo.net (Message généré automatiquement.
