Senior Research Fellow in Food Systems and Societal Change
1 month ago
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Research Fellow to join our team at Københavns Universitet (KU) in Copenhagen, Denmark. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in the field of food systems and societal change.
About the Project:The project titled The crisis of habits and new figurations of food is funded by the Danish Independent Research Fund and led by Principal Investigator Cecilie Rubow from the Department of Anthropology and Co-PI Bente Halkier from the Department of Sociology. The project aims to explore the provisioning of meals across generations and how different degrees of plasticity in food habits can inform theoretical reconfigurations of habits. With a practice theory starting point, this project combines concepts of habits, ethics, and habitat to account for the plasticity in present configurations of food.
The project design is collaborative, and the Senior Research Fellow will work closely with other project members, both theoretically and methodologically. The successful candidate will be expected to carry out fieldwork in Denmark among empty nesters to investigate resistance to changing food habits in a generation that has grown up during a period of vast economic growth. The core questions include: How do empty nesters figure the relation between territories and food (i.e., where the food is produced and its climate footprint) in their everyday practices? The research will primarily rely on qualitative fieldwork and social scientific analysis.
About the Role:The Senior Research Fellow will be employed at the Department of Sociology, University of Copenhagen. The Department is an international department with an ambitious and friendly atmosphere, comprising 30 faculty members, 15 Postdocs, 15 Ph.D. students, and an administrative unit. We pursue problem-oriented research and investigate topics such as social mobility, facilitative cultures, and structures tackling climate change, migration, and processes of integration.
The successful candidate will have excellent Danish and English language skills, both written and spoken. A Ph.D. degree in sociology or anthropology (or related field) is required, along with proficiency in qualitative data collection and experience in ethnographic fieldwork. Experience in disseminating research findings for broad audiences is also an asset. Additionally, experience conducting research in food studies in the North Atlantic region is considered beneficial.
Requirements:- A Ph.D. degree in sociology or anthropology (or related field).
- Proficiency in qualitative data collection.
- Experience in ethnographic fieldwork.
- Excellent Danish and English language skills, both written and spoken.
- Experience in disseminating research findings for broad audiences.
The salary range starts at DKK 38,575.00 per month + a 17.1% contribution to the pension scheme. It is possible to negotiate salary supplements on an annual basis. Furthermore, Københavns Universitet offers a range of benefits, including access to a comprehensive pension scheme, flexible working hours, and opportunities for professional development.
