Academic Position in Food Studies

3 days ago


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

The University of Copenhagen invites applications for a postdoctoral position in sociology of food, focusing on the crisis of habits and new figurations of food. The project explores the provisioning of meals across generations, and how different degrees of plasticity in food habits can inform a theoretical reconfiguration of habits.

The postdoc will work closely with other project members to design a collaborative research project that combines concepts of habits, ethics, and habitat to account for the plasticity in present configurations of food. Fieldwork will be conducted among empty nesters in Denmark to investigate resistance to changing food habits in a generation that has grown up in a period of vast economic growth.

Required skills and qualifications include a PhD degree in sociology or anthropology, proficiency in qualitative data collection, experience in ethnographic fieldwork, and excellent language skills in Danish and English. The ability to develop critical analyses and produce high-quality academic texts is also essential.
