Postdoctoral position in 'Identification and Educability at School' at the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, Univ

2 weeks ago

København S, Copenhagen, Denmark KU - HUM - Fakultetet Full time
The Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, NorS, Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen (UCPH) invites applications for a postdoc in 'Identification and Educability at School' from 1 November 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter

The position is a fixed term position for 22 months.

The position is connected to the collective research project

EDUCABLE:

Educational Socialisation in Contemporary Digitalised Societies, funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark and directed by Professor Lian Malai Madsen.

Job content

The postdoc will be expected to conduct fieldwork in collaboration with other project members for 12 weeks + two periods of two weeks in two 9th grade classes in a Danish school and be responsible for a study based on this fieldwork focused on which identifications are enacted and ascribed among students and teachers through social category labels and their associated practices (linguistic, behavioural, interactional) in everyday school life.

The study will illuminate which attitudes and alignments to different categories they construct through their practices and their reflexive comments and how the identifications relate to educational orientations and ideas of educability.


The postdoc is required to be able to work independently as well as engage actively in and contribute to the research team and the collective project, which investigates young people's engagement in digital communities alongside their everyday practice at school and their reflections on educational influences and experiences.


The project seeks to answer the overall questions:
How is educability constructed and enacted in everyday school life and digital encounters? How do students reflect on their educational path and future aspirations? And which cultural models of educability can we identify across these domains to illuminate the challenges and refine our theorisation of contemporary mass education systems?


The postdoc position involves contributing to the publication of at least two international articles, participating in a number of seminars and conferences at the University of Copenhagen and abroad as well as a 2 week's research stay at a European university with one of the project's international collaborators.

Qualification requirements and assessment criteria
Employment as a postdoc requires academic qualifications at the PhD level.

The successful applicant must hold a PhD degree in a field related to ethnographic and interactional sociolinguistics.

The preferred candidate should document an excellent track record of relevant research.

Experience with ethnographic fieldwork, interactional and linguistic analysis will be decisive criteria of selection for the post as well as experience with research on identity practices.

Fluency in Danish language is required for conducting fieldwork and analysis of data.
