Job Description

The Department of Design, Media and Educational Science (Philosophy) at Syddansk Universitet invites applications for a 2-year postdoctoral research position as part of the collaborative research project Wellbeing and Virtual Worlds, funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

The project aims to examine the fundamental premises behind assessments of quality of life in virtual worlds, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of life in virtual spaces. It combines philosophical value theory with empirical studies of user experiences and the interplay between online and offline activities.

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to the subproject A Theory of Wellbeing for Virtual and Blended Spaces. Their central task will be to identify and normatively analyze factors relevant to wellbeing in online interactions, designing concepts particularly apt for studying and communicating about digital wellbeing.

Qualifications in practical philosophy, especially wellbeing and value theory, and/or conceptual engineering are particularly relevant. The postdoctoral researcher should be willing to develop their ideas in collaboration with other project members and contribute to joint work within the project, including joint publications and work related to the empirical parts of the project.

Required Skills and Qualifications
  • PhD degree in a relevant field, such as philosophy, computer science, or design
  • Strong background in practical philosophy, especially wellbeing and value theory, and/or conceptual engineering
  • Excellent written and spoken English skills
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a team
Benefits

The postdoctoral researcher will have the opportunity to pursue their own special interests within the framework of the project, while also contributing to joint work and publications. The SDU DME Philosophy Section is internationally well-connected and has a strong profile in basic research and applied philosophy.

Application Process

Applications should include a cover letter, project description and research plan, curriculum vitae, documentation of qualifications, and a complete list of publications indicating the publications attached. The application must be in Danish, English, or one of the Scandinavian languages. Please always include a copy of the original diploma/certificates. We only accept files in pdf-format no more than 10 MB per file.
