Doing a PhD in a transdisciplinary research (TDR) project allows early-career scientists (ECSs) to study innovative topics in socioecological systems and to apply methods involving the co-design and co-production of knowledge with practitioners. However, a series of interviews and a group discussion with ECSs involved in TDR projects revealed not only the benefits for career development but also a number of challenges and even risks related to working on such projects. We discuss the vital role of ECSs in sustainability science and the professionalization of TDR processes. To ensure fair conditions for these researchers, experienced supervisors who assume responsibility for ECSs in TDR projects are required, as is the acknowledgement of the twofold efforts of ECSs in TDR projects and support from scientific networks (e.g., Future Earth) to transform the academic system and build the careers of ECSs in sustainability science. Finally, it has been shown that the scientific discourse on TDR and sustainability science must pay more attention to the specific roles of ECSs and work conditions.

机会,平衡行为和挑战-在跨学科研究项目中攻读博士学位

在跨学科研究(TDR)项目中进行博士学位研究可使早期职业科学家(ECS)研究社会生态系统中的创新主题,并采用与从业者共同设计和共同生产知识的方法。但是,与参与TDR项目的ECS进行的一系列访谈和小组讨论不仅揭示了职业发展的好处,而且还揭示了与从事此类项目有关的挑战甚至风险。我们讨论了ECS在可持续发展科学和TDR流程专业化中的重要作用。为了确保这些研究人员有公平的条件,需要对TDR项目中的ECS负责的经验丰富的主管,以及对ECS在TDR项目中的双重努力以及科学网络的支持(例如,未来地球),以改变学术体系并建立ECS在可持续发展科学领域的事业。最后,研究表明,有关TDR和可持续性科学的科学论述必须更加关注ECS的具体作用和工作条件。
