Social Science Researcher Position in Food Studies
2 weeks ago
We are seeking a highly qualified social science researcher to join our team at the University of Copenhagen. The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting research in the field of food studies, with a focus on sociology and anthropology.
The position is part of a larger project exploring the provisioning of meals across generations and how different degrees of plasticity in food habits can inform a theoretical reconfiguration of habits. The project combines concepts of habits, ethics, and habitat to account for the plasticity in present configurations of food.
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will work closely with other project members, theoretically and methodologically. You will be expected to carry out fieldwork in Denmark among empty nesters to investigate resistance to changing food habits in a generation that has grown up in a period of vast economic growth.
Key Responsibilities- Conduct qualitative fieldwork and social scientific analysis
- Develop critical analyses and produce high-quality academic texts
- Disseminate research findings for a broad audience through experimentation with photo elicitation in ethnographic research
- Collaborate with other project members to achieve project goals
- PhD degree in sociology or anthropology (or related field)
- Proficiency in qualitative data collection and ethnographic fieldwork
- Excellent Danish and English language skills, both written and spoken
- Experience conducting research in food studies in the North Atlantic region
The salary range for this position starts at DKK 38,575 per month, plus a 17.1% contribution to the pension scheme. The position also offers a dynamic and inclusive working environment, with opportunities for professional development and collaboration with a talented team.
About UsThe Department of Sociology at the University of Copenhagen is an international department with an ambitious and friendly atmosphere. We pursue problem-oriented research and investigate topics such as social mobility, facilitative cultures, and processes of integration. Our faculty includes 30 members, 15 Postdocs, 15 Ph.D. Students, and an administrative unit.
