We are looking for a MSc student to research the possibility of short food supply chains in Ukraine in the current crisis and post-crisis contexts. The project will be supervised by Dr Jessica Duncan.

- Starting immediately

- 4-6 months

- 24-39 ECTS (to be determined with student and study advisor)

- Flexible in terms of location

- Only available to students who have permission from their study advisor. The research practical replaces the internship.

The intern will support the project by desiging and conducting research related to the following 4 steps:

Step 1: Analyse the needs and opportunities for supporting the food supply chains

Step 2: Identify and analyse the participating Municipalities

Step 3: Map the stakeholders

Step 4: Prepare evidence-based guidelines for supporting short food supply chains

It is expected that the results will be published in a book on urban agriculture and occupied territories. Because the practical is research based, the student will need to write a research proposal, carry out a research project and finish with a research practice report.
