About this position
Roskilde University in Denmark has multiple open academic positions across several departments, including PhD scholarships, postdoctoral positions, and faculty roles. The opportunities span applied ethics, computer science, law and socio-legal studies, food systems and food studies, and experimental physics.
Highlighted openings
• Associate Professorship in Applied Ethics (time-limited): based in the Department of Communication and Arts, with a strong focus on applied ethics and criminal justice ethics, especially ethics of AI. The role emphasizes research, teaching, external funding, and development of supplementary courses in AI and ethics.
• Assistant Professor of Computer Science: based in the Department of People and Technology and linked to the Programming, Logic, and Intelligent Systems (PLIS) research group. Research areas include programming languages, algorithms, data structures, machine learning, explainable AI, symbolic reasoning, software engineering, cloud computing, distributed systems, and IT security.
• Postdoc in law, socio-legal studies, or public policy on maternal rights during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period: part of the ERC-funded MaMas project led by Céline Brassart Olsen. The project examines women’s health, welfare, and labor rights in Denmark, England, and/or France, using comparative legal analysis and qualitative methods.
• Postdoctoral Scholar in Food Systems and Food Studies: a 2-year position in the TRANSITIONS research group, working on the RegioFoods and FoSSNet European projects. The role involves stakeholder mapping, science-policy dialogues, food systems observatories, and transdisciplinary collaboration.
• Postdoc of experimental physics – aging of glasses: a Carlsberg Foundation-funded project in the Glass and Time research center. The work focuses on physical aging of glasses, experimental design, Flash DSC, dielectric spectroscopy, and data analysis.
Funding and eligibility
Most positions are described as fully funded with competitive salaries and benefits. The postdoc in law is funded through an ERC Starting Grant, and the physics postdoc is funded by the Carlsberg Foundation. The post explicitly states that there is no application fee. International candidates from all nationalities are welcome.
Application notes
Deadlines vary by position, with the earliest deadline on 19 May 2026 and others extending into June 2026. Applications are submitted through the Roskilde University job portal, and all applications must be in English. Required materials commonly include a cover letter, CV, documentation of education, publication list, and selected scientific works; some positions also require a teaching portfolio and research plan.

What's required
PhD or equivalent is required for the postdoc positions; the assistant professor position requires a PhD in computer science or a closely related field. Applied Ethics applicants should have an international research profile, documented publications, teaching experience, pedagogical qualifications, research communication skills, and English proficiency; Danish is an asset and may need to be acquired within two years. Computer Science applicants should have research and teaching experience in more than one of programming languages, algorithms, data structures, machine learning/explainable AI, symbolic reasoning, software engineering, cloud computing, distributed systems, and must be able to teach and supervise in English; Danish/Swedish/Norwegian sufficient for teaching and administration is expected or must be learned. The law/socio-legal postdoc should have skills in complex legal, regulatory, and policy analysis, knowledge of labor/welfare/health/gender law or policy in at least one relevant country, workshop facilitation and stakeholder engagement skills, strong academic writing in English, and ability to work independently and collaboratively. The food systems postdoc should have qualifications in food systems science, food studies, science-policy-society interfaces, participatory processes, or sustainable transition studies, with experience in interdisciplinary collaboration, qualitative methods, and collaborative process design. The physics postdoc requires a PhD in experimental physics or related area, advanced experimental work, strong mathematics, and programming/data analysis skills; knowledge of glass transition, aging, Flash DSC, or dielectric spectroscopy is advantageous.
