About the Position

We are seeking a highly qualified postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen. The successful candidate will be part of the Carlsberg-funded project "Tell Me the Truth: Fact Checkers in an Age of Epistemic Instability" (The TMT project).

About the Project

The TMT project investigates questions of facts and truths in public debate and focuses on the practice and role of journalistic fact checkers. The project understands the establishment of facts as a fundamentally rhetorical practice where people argue for and try to gain support for their way of understanding and conveying the truth.

About the Ideal Candidate

We are looking for an excellent scholar of rhetoric, media studies, or journalism studies with experience in theories relevant to the project. The ideal candidate will have a strong research background, excellent analytical and writing skills, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a research team.

Responsibilities

The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for conducting independent research, participating in research collaborations, and contributing to the development of the TMT project. The successful candidate will also be expected to participate in meetings and workshops, and to present research findings at conferences and seminars.

Requirements

To be eligible for this position, applicants must have a PhD in a relevant field and a strong research background. The successful candidate will be employed in The Section of Rhetoric with the opportunity to be part of the rhetoric research group or other relevant research groups in the department.

What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as the opportunity to work with a talented and diverse research team. The University of Copenhagen is committed to creating an inclusive and supportive work environment, and we welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds.
