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

Københavns Universitet (KU) is seeking a highly qualified researcher to fill a postdoctoral position in sociology of food. As part of a larger project entitled 'The crisis of habits and new figurations of food', this role will contribute to the exploration of meal provisioning across generations and the impact of changing food habits on societal structures.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in sociological theory, with experience in qualitative research methods and a proven track record of publishing high-impact research. The successful applicant will be expected to collaborate with other researchers on the project team, including developing a research plan, conducting fieldwork, and analyzing data.

A key aspect of this role is the ability to communicate complex sociological concepts to a broad audience, both within academia and beyond. Excellent writing and presentation skills are therefore essential. Additionally, fluency in both Danish and English is required, as well as the ability to travel to research sites in Denmark.
