Postdoc in Communicating Values in Interdisciplinary Science

Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen

The University of Copenhagen is seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoc fellow to commence on February 1, 2025, or after agreement in the Whiteley Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) and Medical Museion.

About Us
Medical Museion
The Postdoc position is based at Medical Museion, which houses CBMR's Program 4: Cardiometabolic Research in Society and Culture. Medical Museion is a university museum in the Department of Public Health, hosting an interdisciplinary research group that looks at health and medical sciences in their cultural, historical, and philosophical context.

Our Research
The Whiteley group focuses on science communication and research culture. Members of the group collaborate across Program 4 and with scientists from the CBMR to conduct interdisciplinary research that then feeds into museum-based public engagement. This project is part of a theme investigating the internal 'research culture' of contemporary biomedicine, and the postdoc will ask how communicating the values and goals that drive research can help scientists from different backgrounds work together.

Job Description
The project 'Becoming an interdisciplinary scientist: Communicating values and valuing difference' will ask:

  1. What role does communication of disciplinary values and goals play in interdisciplinary collaboration?
  2. What kinds of training can support early career researchers (ECRs) and interdisciplinary research groups in talking about disciplinary values and goals?

The project outlines five work packages, with the details developed in dialogue with your interests and expertise. You will lead a novel cross-disciplinary literature review and an interview study of mid-career scientists' perspectives on the project theme, informing the development of an ECR training course and workshops.

Profile
The Postdoc fellowship is aimed at early-career researchers with a background in science communication studies; STS or science studies; science education; or other relevant disciplines. We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience talking with scientists about their research.

Required qualifications:

  • PhD in a relevant humanities or social science discipline.
  • Excellent track record in relation to career stage.
  • Confidence designing own research methodologies.
  • Enthusiasm for collaborating across disciplines.
  • Some experience with running communication activities or teaching is an advantage.
  • Excellent English communication skills, both written and oral.

Eligibility
The Postdoc fellowships within the CBMR International PhD & Postdoc Program are open for applicants that hold a PhD degree awarded from a university outside of Denmark.

Terms of Employment
The employment as Postdoc is a full-time position for 3 years. Starting date is February 1, 2025, or after agreement.

Questions
For further information about the position, please contact Dr Louise Whiteley at
