About the Position:
We are seeking a highly motivated and qualified researcher to join our team as a postdoctoral fellow in sociology of food systems.

Job Content:
The postdoc will work closely with other project members, theoretically and methodologically, to carry out fieldwork among empty nesters in Denmark. The core questions include: 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?

Qualifications:
Appointment as a postdoc presumes research qualifications on at least PhD level. It is an advantage that a maximum of 4 years have passed from the date of acquisition of the PhD degree to the posting application deadline.
