2 weeks ago


Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet (KU) Full time

The Department of Communication at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for a postdoctoral position associated with the Carlsberg-funded project "Tell Me the Truth: Fact Checkers in an Age of Epistemic Instability".

The project focuses on the practice and role of journalistic fact checkers, understanding the establishment of facts as a fundamentally rhetorical practice where people argue for and try to gain support for their way of understanding and conveying the truth.

The ideal candidate is an excellent scholar of rhetoric, media studies, or journalism studies with experience in theories relevant to the project, such as theories of public controversies, knowledge claims, and knowledge production.

Responsibilities include participating in meetings, conducting independent research, and collaborating with the project leader and other members of the TMT project group.

Employment as a postdoc requires academic qualifications at PhD level. The salary range starts at approximately €5,100 per month + a 17.1% contribution to the pension scheme.

The University of Copenhagen offers various services for international researchers and accompanying families, including career counseling and relocation support.
