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

We are seeking a highly qualified philosopher to join our team as a postdoctoral researcher at Københavns Universitet. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will work closely with the principal investigator and other team members on the ERC-funded project WHENCE.

The project aims 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assess women's intellectual contribution to the Nordic Enlightenment by examining a text corpus consisting of unpublished material and published texts written by more than a hundred women in Scandinavia. Your role will involve investigating writings reflecting on women's intellectual capacities and defending women's intellectual equality.

This is a full-time fixed-term position for 36 months. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package. You will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic research environment and collaborate with international experts in the field.

We require expertise in history of philosophy and literature or history or history of ideas. High proficiency in English is necessary. Familiarity with feminist history of philosophy or Scandinavian intellectual history is an asset.

The successful applicant will be expected to develop a research plan addressing the research question: 'What arguments did Danish-Norwegian and Swedish women intellectuals from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries present in favour of women's intellectual equality, and which philosophical traditions influenced their perspectives?'
