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

The Department of Communication, Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher position in History of Philosophy. This is a full-time fixed-term position for 36 months.

This position will contribute to the ERC-funded project "Women in the Nordic Enlightenment" (WHENCE). The core of this project is to uncover women's intellectual contribution to the Nordic Enlightenment by examining a text corpus consisting of unpublished material and published texts written by more than a hundred women in Scandinavia.

The expert on the scholarly sphere and intellectual equality will investigate writings reflecting on women's intellectual capacities and defending women's intellectual equality. This is a unique opportunity to explore the historical context of feminist philosophy and its impact on Scandinavian gender equality.

As a researcher in this position, you will be part of a dynamic team working on a high-profile research project. You will engage actively in the WHENCE project, including project meetings, working with project partners, participating in international conferences, and publishing in high-impact peer-reviewed journals.

We are looking for a candidate with expertise in history of philosophy and literature or history or history of ideas. High proficiency in English is required. Familiarity with feminist history of philosophy or Scandinavian intellectual history is an advantage.

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?'
