Postdoctoral Researcher in Food Sociology
6 days ago
The KU-CENTER FOR SUNDHED OG SAMFUND invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the sociology of food. The project, titled "The Crisis of Habits and New Figurations of Food," is funded by the Danish Independent Research Fund and led by Principal Investigator Cecilie Rubow and Co-PI Bente Halkier.
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. With a starting point in practice theories, this project combines concepts of habits, ethics, and habitat to account for the plasticity in present configurations of food.
Job ContentThe postdoctoral researcher will work closely with the project team to conduct 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. The core questions are:
- How do empty nesters figure the relation between territories and food (i.e., where the food is produced and its climate footprint) in their everyday practices?
- What are the implications of this research for our understanding of food habits and their relationship to sustainability?
The research will primarily rely on qualitative fieldwork and social scientific analysis. Additionally, the project will involve experimentation with using photo elicitation in ethnographic research and disseminating research findings for a broad audience.
QualificationsTo be eligible for this position, applicants must have a PhD in sociology or anthropology (or a related field) and demonstrate expertise in qualitative data collection and analysis. Experience in ethnographic fieldwork and research on food studies in the North Atlantic region is highly desirable.
Applicants must also have excellent Danish and English language skills, both written and spoken, and be able to work independently and collaboratively as part of a team.
How to ApplyApplicants should submit a complete application, including a cover letter, research plan, curriculum vitae, documentation of qualifications, and a list of publications. The application should be written in English and submitted through the University of Copenhagen's online portal.
