Postdoctoral Position in Sociology of Food

The Department of Anthropology and Department of Sociology at the University of Copenhagen invite applications for a postdoctoral position in Sociology of Food. The position is part of the project "The crisis of habits and new figurations of food" funded by the Danish Independent Research Fund.

About the Project

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 the project members to investigate resistance to changing food habits in a generation that has grown up in a period of vast economic growth.

Job Content

The postdoc will carry out fieldwork in Denmark among empty nesters to investigate how they figure the relation between territories and food in their everyday practices. The research will rely on qualitative fieldwork and social scientific analysis.

Qualifications

Appointment as a postdoc requires research qualifications on at least PhD level. It is an advantage that a maximum of 4 years have passed from the date of acquisition of the PhD degree to the posting application deadline.

The candidates will be assessed according to the following qualifications:

  • Specialization: PhD degree in sociology or anthropology (or related field).
  • Methods: Proficiency in qualitative data collection is required. Experience in ethnographic fieldwork will be considered an asset.
  • Analysis and writing: The ability to develop critical analyses and produce high-quality academic texts.
  • Dissemination: Experience in disseminating research for audiences in public and private sectors.
  • Research experience: Experience conducting research in food studies in the North Atlantic region will be considered an asset.
  • Language: Excellent Danish and English language skills, both written and spoken.
