(06) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Fellowship on Protein Phase Separation in Complex Environments
Biomolecular self-assembly is a key process in physics and chemistry and rules the correct functioning of living systems. In addition, many of the most prevalent human neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer´s and Parkinson´s, are characterised by the presence of so-called amyloid aggregates in the brain, which are the result of protein self-assembly. Several of the proteins identified in amyloid aggregates have been shown to undergo a process called liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). The project aims to study intra and inter-protein interactions that initiate LLPS in intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) systems using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) combined with microscopy and spectroscopic techniques. The project is funded by the Villum Foundation to Professor Vito Foderà (Department of Pharmacy), and in collaboration with the University of Cambridge (UK).

The project, “Aesthetic atmosphere. An investigation in Phenomenological Psychology,” is located at Center for Phenomenological Psychology and Aesthetics at the Department of Psychology, University of Copenhagen. The overarching aim of the project is to show how atmospheres, while often vague and fluctuating, influence our affective life. In the postdoctoral subproject, experiences with architecture will form the empirical basis for the study. The research questions are: 1) How are atmospheres experienced in relation to architecture? 2) What are the essential characteristics of the experience of architectural atmospheres? 3) What are the momentary versus lasting influences of experiencing architectural atmospheres? The empirical part of the subproject will be based on qualitative interviews in Denmark. The analyses of the empirical material should be grounded in the descriptive method of phenomenological psychology developed by Amadeo Giorgi to obtain an overview of atmospheric experiences as well as capturing their fine-grained details. This approach must be supplemented with the micro-phenomenological method developed by Claire Petitmengin. The overarching theoretical framework is phenomenological psychology, combined with phenomenological theory on aesthetics, architecture, and subjectivity.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position in Innovation and Sustainability Transitions
Across the Nordic countries the need for an accelerated green transition is increasingly conflicting with other environmental and social challenges, including the unequal distribution of burdens, nature degradation, and the violation of the rights and interests of local people. Such tensions lead to social backlash, decreasing legitimacy, and, ultimately, delay or cancellation of projects. While civic participation traditionally the primary strategy for ensuring legitimacy, it is evident that current participatory practices are insufficient in and challenged by an acceleration context characterised by growing scale (more and bigger projects), scope (involving more and more sectors e.g., via PtX, grid development, and CCUS) and speed (urgency and ambitious policy goals) of the green transition. LEGIT brings together insights from, on the one hand, legitimacy and participation research with, on the other hand, recent theorizing on acceleration within Sustainability Transitions research to interrogate topics as ‘responsible acceleration’ and ‘sociotechnical tipping points’ in the search for answers to acceleration challenges.
The Postdoc will focus the Danish context for these issues with attention to the changing strategies of actors (e.g., local and national policymakers, businesses, energy-users, and civil society actors) for coping with new legitimacy challenges, and how institutional and policy contexts shape participatory practices related to the diffusion of green innovations. The postdoc will work in a Nordic team of interdisciplinary researchers across the partners including Syke (Finland), University of Copenhagen (Denmark), NIFU (Norway) and Linköping University (Sweden).
In addition to the specific project, the Postdoc’s duties will include some teaching as well as participation in other related projects. The position may also include performance of other duties (e.g. supervision of BSc and MSc students).

(35) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position as part of the research project ‘AI and the University – Towards a sociolinguistics of literacy and voice in the age of generative AI’ (AI-UNI)
The successful postdoc candidate will undertake an independent research project, designed to fit the overall research agenda of AI-UNI. The postdoc will be expected to design and conduct a linguistic ethnographic case study focussing on the use of text- generative AI as part of research practices in the natural sciences or health sciences. The case study will revolve around one or two research groups (or similar university research unit). Following an initial period of observation, specific practices that involve the use of generative AI should be selected for detailed study in the remaining time of the field work.
Applicants are expected to outline a proposed research design for their case study as part of the application (see details below). The proposed postdoc project should allow the candidate to explore how text-generative AI is used as part of academic practices and critically assess the associated implications for research. The project should fall within the general framework of linguistic ethnography. This means that we welcome projects that include e.g. participant observation, recordings of textual practices and social interaction in offline and online environments, as well as ethnographic interviews and feedback sessions with participants. Theoretically, the postdoc project should contribute to the host project’s understanding of the use of text-generative AI at the university as a site of sociolinguistic change with potential implications for how we conceptualize the notions of literacy and voice in sociolinguistics.
The specific focus and details of the postdoc project will be decided in collaboration with the host project PI, based on the ideas presented in the project description and the overall research interests of the AI-UNI project. The postdoc will be supervised by Professor Janus Mortensen.

(36) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral position in platform studies at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen (UCPH)
The position is part of the Level up your money game project which runs from 2025 to 2027 and is funded by the Velux foundation. The candidate’s research activities will contribute to the project’s empirical studies of children and young people’s economic socialisation at the intersection between gaming and finance.
Level up your money game addresses children and young peoples ‘money games’ in online environments. With money games we refer to the ongoing convergence between gaming and finance as virtual game economies intersect with wider speculative trading on the internet, new types of ‘finfluencers’ emerge on social media platforms, gaming discourses spread across the financial sector, and gamification techniques are put to use on retail investment platforms. The project addresses children and young people’s money games in this digital environment at the level of social practices, creator strategies and platform models. To do this, the project will combine qualitative fieldwork, digital methods and political economic analysis.
For more information about the project, please contact the project PI Anne Mette Thorhauge ([email protected]).
As a postdoc in the project you are expected to contribute to an empirical mapping and exploration of creator strategies at the intersection between gaming and finance in collaboration with the other project participants. We are especially interested in applicants with theoretical and empirical qualifications from within the broad field of digital media and communications research. Experience with creative industry studies with an emphasis on gaming and familiarity with programming and API-based data collection is an advantage.

About The University of Copenhagen, Denmark – Official Website
The University of Copenhagen is a public research university in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded in 1479, the University of Copenhagen is the second-oldest university in Scandinavia, and ranks as one of the top universities in the Nordic countries and Europe.
Its establishment sanctioned by Pope Sixtus IV, the University of Copenhagen was founded by Christian I of Denmark as a Catholic teaching institution with a predominantly theological focus. In 1537, it was re-established by King Christian III as part of the Lutheran Reformation. Up until the 18th century, the university was primarily concerned with educating clergymen. Through various reforms in the 18th and 19th century, the University of Copenhagen was transformed into a modern, secular university, with science and the humanities replacing theology as the main subjects studied and taught.
The University of Copenhagen consists of six different faculties, with teaching taking place in its four distinct campuses, all situated in Copenhagen. The university operates 36 different departments and 122 separate research centres in Copenhagen, as well as a number of museums and botanical gardens in and outside the Danish capital. The University of Copenhagen also owns and operates multiple research stations around Denmark, with two additional ones located in Greenland. Additionally, The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences and the public hospitals of the Capital and Zealand Region of Denmark constitute the conglomerate Copenhagen University Hospital.
A number of prominent scientific theories and schools of thought are namesakes of the University of Copenhagen. The famous Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics was conceived at the Niels Bohr Institute, which is part of the university. The Department of Political Science birthed the Copenhagen School of Security Studies, which is also named after the university. Others include the Copenhagen School of Theology and the Copenhagen School of Linguistics.
