Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Aarhus University Full time
Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher in Education History

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Danish School of Education, Aarhus University. The successful candidate will work on a fixed-term postdoctoral position associated with the project Edutopias. Reforms of everyday school practices. Denmark 1945 – 1975, funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (Humanities).

Research Context

The project aims to investigate how utopias, ideas, and visions of the child-centred school for all were negotiated, disputed, and materialized on the level of everyday practices in the period in question. The project will examine the utopias, expectations, and passions that, through everyday work and experimentation, gave the actors of the period the courage and belief that it was possible to change the school.

The Position

The selected applicant will work on the changing edutopian imaginaries and actualizations within the myriad school experiments carried out in the Danish elementary schools between 1945 and 1975. The applicant will explore the experiments' resonance with the school reforms of 1958 and 1975, focusing on experiments relating to the introduction of the democratic and comprehensive school and the changing relationship between teachers, students, and parents.

Responsibilities
  • Actively participate in the project's research team and relevant national and international research networks
  • Publish research findings independently and collaboratively in international peer-reviewed journals/anthologies
  • Initiate, join, and help organize activities with the research team, such as conferences, webinars, and other project-related endeavors
Qualifications

The project lies within the field of the history of education, and the applicants must hold a PhD or the equivalent in history, ethnology, educational science, or similar. Applicants must be able to document:

  • Experience with and courage to experiment with historical research methods using written sources, visuals, materialities, and interviews
  • Knowledge of the Danish school system and its history
  • Advanced language proficiency level in Danish, as written sources and interviews will mainly be in Danish
  • Mastery of spoken and written English at an advanced academic level. Experience publishing in English will be an asset
Work Environment

The position is hosted by the Department of Educational Sociology and the Department of Educational Studies. The selected applicant will be based at the Emdrup campus.

We respect the balance between work and private life and strive to create a work environment in which that balance can be maintained.

For more information, please contact Professor Ning de Coninck-Smith at or +4530539404.

The application must include the formal statement on your PhD project if you have completed your PhD degree.
