The Department of Sociology at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the field of food systems.

About the Project

The project aims to understand the provisioning of meals across generations and how different degrees of plasticity in food habits can inform a theoretical reconfiguration of habits.

Job Description

  • The postdoc will work closely with other project members theoretically and methodologically.
  • Fieldwork in Denmark among empty nesters will investigate resistance to changing food habits in a generation that has grown up in a period of vast economic growth where levels of meat consumption per capita have more than doubled since 1960.
