Research Position in Food Systems Sociology
14 hours ago
The Department of Anthropology and Department of Sociology at the University of Copenhagen invite applications for a research position in sociology of food. This role is part of a larger project exploring the provisioning of meals across generations and how different degrees of plasticity in food habits can inform theoretical reconfigurations of habits.
About the Project
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 from the Department of Anthropology and Co-PI Bente Halkier from the Department of Sociology. The project aims to explore how people figure the relation between territories and food in their everyday practices, particularly among empty nesters.
Job Content
As a researcher on this project, you will work collaboratively with other team members, conducting fieldwork in Denmark to investigate resistance to changing food habits among empty nesters. Your core tasks will include qualitative data collection, ethnographic fieldwork, and social scientific analysis. You will also be involved in experimenting with photo elicitation in ethnographic research and disseminating research findings for broad audiences.
Required Skills and Qualifications
- Specialization: PhD degree in sociology or anthropology (or related field).
- Methods: Proficiency in qualitative data collection required; experience in ethnographic fieldwork considered an asset.
- Analysis and Writing: Ability to develop critical analyses and produce high-quality academic texts.
- Dissemination: Experience in disseminating research for audiences in public and private sectors.
- Research Experience: Experience conducting research in food studies in the North Atlantic region considered an asset.
- Language: Excellent English language skills, both written and spoken.
