<br>PhD scholarship at the Department of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The Department of Anthropology at the University of Copenhagen invites
<br>applications for a PhD scholarship within the project: 'Stay CONNECTed:
<br>Digital technologies and rehabilitation in Danish dementia care' The PhD will
<br>be placed at the Department of Anthropology and work closely together with the
<br>project team. The successful candidate will be employed from February 1st,
<br>2020, or shortly thereafter.
<br>
<br>The PhD project
<br>The project is entitled 'Imellem selvbestemmelse og omsorg - et antropologisk
<br>PhD studie af de sociale og etiske implikationer af brugen af alarm- og
<br>sensorbaserede teknologier i den kommunale demensomsorg' and is co-finansed by
<br>the Velux Foundation, the Alzheimer Research Foundation and the Nordea
<br>Foundation.
<br>
<br>In recent years, new surveillance technologies such as GPS trackers, cameras
<br>and alarm mats, have been developed and installed in dementia care, in order
<br>to improve safety and security. At the same time, the regulative framework has
<br>been broadened, allowing better possibilities for health care workers to use
<br>these technologies. This project will explore the ethical and social
<br>implications of this techno-legal transformation, and how it has reconfigured
<br>dementia care. The project will be based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out
<br>in municipalities in Denmark, in close collaboration with the PI/supervisor,
<br>Associate Professor, Nete Schwennesen.
<br>
<br>Qualifications
<br>The successful candidate will have a MA degree in Anthropology or a related
<br>field, familiarity with medical anthropology and/or Science and Technology
<br>Studies (STS), and an interest in dementia care. Excellent communication
<br>skills in English (oral and written) will be a requirement, as well as an
<br>interest in participating in international research networks.
<br>
<br>The candidate will be part of the PhD program at the Department of
<br>Anthropology. The program provides PhD students with strong research training,
<br>which opens up a window of opportunity to a variety of careers within the
<br>private and public sectors. The program includes the drafting of a PhD thesis,
<br>active participation in research networks, PhD courses, and teaching and other
<br>forms of knowledge dissemination.
<br>
<br>The PhD process will be undertaken as a three-year full-time study within the
<br>framework of the 5+3 study program. It is expected that the candidate will
<br>apply for additional funding to cover expenses in relation to the project
<br>(fieldwork and research stay abroad)
<br>
<br>In order to be eligible for a scholarship in the 5+3 PhD study program the
<br>applicant must have completed a two year master's degree program or have
<br>earned 120 ECTS credits at an equivalent academic level before starting his or
<br>her employment. Applicants should check the study program
<br>http://anthropology.ku.dk/PhD/ for more detailed descriptions of the entry
<br>requirements. PhD students are paid a salary in accordance with the agreement
<br>between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional
<br>Associations (AC). The PhD student has a work obligation of up to 840 hours
<br>over the 3-year period of time without additional pay. The work obligation can
<br>for instance include teaching.
<br>
<br>The applicant is expected to know Danish well enough to be able to carry out
<br>fieldwork in Denmark.
<br>
<br>In order to be awarded a PhD scholarship the applicant has to enrol as a PhD
<br>student at the Faculty of Social Sciences, cf. the rules of the Danish
<br>Ministerial order No 1039 of 27 August 2013.
