Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet (KU) Full time
About the Opportunity

We are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at the Department of Communication, Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will contribute to the ERC-funded project 'Women in the Nordic Enlightenment (WHENCE)' led by PI Sabrina Ebbersmeyer.

The core of this project is to bring to light and critically assess women's intellectual contribution to the Nordic Enlightenment by examining a text corpus consisting of unpublished material and published texts written by more than a hundred women in Scandinavia. The guiding hypothesis is that the Nordic way of women's Enlightenment significantly differs from developments prevalent in other regions of Europe, and that women played a decisive role in creating a sustainable identification of the Nordic countries with gender equality.

Responsibilities
  • You will investigate writings reflecting on women's intellectual capacities and defending women's intellectual equality.
  • Explore the development of various arguments, the philosophical traditions on which these arguments rely, and the argumentative strategies women used to counter traditional views about women's intellectual deficiency.
Requirements
  • Academic qualifications at PhD level in philosophy or in relevant related subjects.
  • Ability to use English as the working language (written and spoken).
  • Expertise in history of philosophy and literature or history or history of ideas.
Benefits

This is a full-time research position with a salary range starts at DKK 38,575 + a 17.1% contribution to the pension scheme. It is possible to negotiate salary supplements on an annual basis.
