Providing a growing world population with sufficient protein in the face of climate change and limited resources urgently requires a profound change (protein transition). The overarching goal of the project funded by the Berlin University Alliance (BUA) is to support Responsible Innovations for the Protein Transition (RI-ProT). The RI-ProT project works with scientific and non-scientific actors to better understand the key ecological, ethical and equity aspects of the ongoing change in protein production and to develop strategies to promote responsible innovations. At the ZTG, the focus is on analyzing the consumer perspective (focus groups) and methodological support and reflection of transdisciplinary collaboration (e.g. use of the impact method, see Schäfer et al. 2024). The results will be presented in courses of the project partners.

• Successfully completed university degree (Diplom, Master or equivalent) and PhD with social science components is required
• Advanced knowledge and experience in the field of qualitative methods of social research, including conducting focus groups
