7 days ago
The Department of Communication, Faculty of Humanities, Københavns Universitet (KU), invites applications for a full-time fixed-term postdoctoral position in History of Philosophy.
IntroductionThis position is part of the ERC-funded project "Women in the Nordic Enlightenment (WHENCE). Changing the narratives of early modern philosophy and uncovering women's contribution to Scandinavian gender equality" 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assess women's intellectual contribution to the Nordic Enlightenment by examining a text corpus consisting of unpublished material and published texts written by more than a hundred women in Scandinavia.
Research FocusThe expert on the "scholarly sphere and intellectual equality" will investigate writings reflecting on women's intellectual capacities (including reason, talent, and understanding) and defending women's intellectual equality. The expert will also 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.
About the ProjectThe successful applicant will be expected to engage actively in the WHENCE project, including project meetings, working with project partners, participating in international conferences, and publishing in high-impact peer-reviewed journals. The applicant will also participate in the collective research activities of the WHENCE project, including organizing conferences and workshops and the edition of a collective volume and a source book.
Qualification Requirements and Assessment CriteriaEmployment as a postdoc requires academic qualifications at PhD level in philosophy or in relevant related subjects, such as history, literature, or history of ideas. All applicants are expected to be able to use English as the working language (written and spoken).
Required Skills and QualificationsThe applicants must have expertise in history of philosophy and literature or history or history of ideas and high proficiency in English and in Danish or Norwegian or Swedish. Additionally, it will be considered an advantage if the candidate has familiarity with feminist history of philosophy or Scandinavian intellectual history and expertise with editorial work and manuscripts and familiarity with early modern Scandinavian texts.
Salary and BenefitsThe salary range starts at approximately EUR 5,170 + a 17.1% contribution to the pension scheme. It is possible to negotiate salary supplements on an annual basis.
