About this position

PhD fellowship in Research Integrity at the University of Copenhagen, Department of Food and Resource Economics (IFRO), Faculty of Science.

The project focuses on non-financial conflicts of interest in research and asks when and how such interests should be disclosed. The topic sits at the intersection of research integrity, ethics, philosophy of science, and social science methods, with possible approaches including interviews, focus groups, surveys, and related qualitative or quantitative methods.

The successful candidate will join the Section for Consumption, Bioethics and Governance and work closely with the principal supervisor, Associate Professor Mads P. Goddiksen (mpg@ifro.ku.dk). The project is described as part of a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and international research environment in Copenhagen, with physical presence at IFRO expected as a normal part of the role.

Eligibility: applicants should hold a master’s degree equivalent to a Danish master’s degree in a relevant field such as sociology, anthropology, or philosophy. Documented training and experience in social science methods are required, and knowledge of research integrity and philosophy of science is preferred.

Funding and terms: the position is a full-time PhD fellowship for up to 3 years. The post follows Danish academic employment terms; no specific stipend amount is stated in the advertisement.

Application: submit an English application electronically via the university portal. Required materials include a motivation letter, a project proposal of up to 3 pages, CV, diplomas and transcripts, and optionally a publication list and reference letters. Deadline: 16 August 2026, 23:59 GMT+2. Interviews are expected in weeks 42/43.
