Research Opportunity at the University of Copenhagen

The Faculty of Law at the University of Copenhagen is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the CirCus project, a collaborative research project focused on the legal aspects of sustainability and circular economy. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of professor Ole Hansen, professor Vibe Ulfbeck, and associate professor Marta Andhov.

The project aims to analyze the extent to which the concept of circularity affects the legal distribution of risks in supply chains and whether circular supply chains call for new liability standards and collaborative contract models. The project focuses on the building, construction, and housing commodity sectors with regard to both private and public purchasing as case studies.

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to ambitious and carefully planned research, outreach, impact, and dissemination activities benefiting from the expertise of leading senior academics involved in the project. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in a stimulating, diverse, international, and inclusive work environment with approx. 30 researchers with various legal expertise and background.

The position includes research and teaching (375 hours per year) and some administrative responsibilities. The successful candidate will be required to uptake a full-time job in Copenhagen and contribute to the research environment at CEPRI.

The Faculty actively supports the effort to learn Danish. The successful candidate will demonstrate a clear potential to deliver high-quality peer-reviewed research publications.

Applications should include a proposal for a research project to be completed during the postdoctoral period. Proposals should be no more than four pages long and demonstrate the capacity to develop a postdoctoral project, identifying the relevant methodological tools to achieve the outlined project.

The application must include the following nine elements: letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, research project, diplomas, PhD or JSD diploma, publication list, teaching portfolio, academic references, and a maximum of five scientific publications.

The application deadline is 12 May 2023 23:59 CEST. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.
