About this position
PhD fellowship at the University of Copenhagen in infrastructures of care for the green transition, hosted by the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management in the Section of Landscape Architecture, Planning, & Society.
The project is embedded in INFRA-CARE (Horizon Europe, New European Bauhaus) and linked to CARE+ (Novo Nordisk Foundation). It focuses on how care operates as a public infrastructure across social, cultural, ecological, institutional, and digital settings in European neighbourhoods and school-run mobility contexts.
Research areas and keywords include care ethics, urban sustainability, green transition, urban planning, landscape architecture, environmental justice, feminist mobilities, more-than-human relations, and participatory/qualitative research. The PhD candidate will develop an independent project grounded in one or more living labs or case sites, such as Copenhagen, Athens, Vienna, Łódź, or Berlin, and may contribute to tools like the Caring Neighbourhood Index and Digital Neighbourhood Atlas.
Eligibility: a master’s degree equivalent to a Danish master’s degree in a relevant field such as human geography, anthropology, urban planning, landscape architecture, sociology, environmental humanities, or a related discipline. Strong English is required; Danish or another Scandinavian language is preferable. Experience with qualitative or participatory methods is expected, while GIS, citizen science, or quantitative methods are an asset.
Funding: full-time PhD fellow position for up to 3 years, with salary and terms according to Danish academic agreements. No stipend amount is stated.
Deadline: 1 October 2026 at 23:59 GMT+2. Start date is expected to be 1 February 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.
How to apply: submit the application online via the University of Copenhagen vacancy portal. Include a motivation letter, CV, diplomas and transcripts, publication list if available, and reference letters if available.
