About this position

PhD scholarship at Aalborg University in the Department of Culture and Communication, within the research project Not Liking School: Lived Experience of School Emotions. The project is based at the Centre for Education Policy Research and investigates how students have experienced, resisted, and disengaged from school in Danish comprehensive schooling since the late 1950s.

The research combines educational history, history of emotions, historical ethnography, policy analysis, and qualitative methods. The PhD fellow will focus on former students in the Danish folkeskole, including school strikes and other forms of resistance, withdrawal, silence, restlessness, truancy, and classroom disruption, and will contribute to the project’s conceptual framework on school emotions.

This is a fully funded 3-year PhD scholarship beginning on 1 January 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is full-time and includes both research and teaching. The successful applicant will join an international research environment with collaborations and research stays abroad.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a Master’s degree; SSH PhD candidates need at least grade 10 in the Danish grading system (or equivalent) for the Master’s thesis/final exam; and applicants who are not exempt must document English proficiency (IELTS 7.0 or TOEFL 600/100, test no older than five years).

How to apply: submit an English application with a motivation letter, CV, bachelor’s and master’s diplomas with grades, a project description of about 5 pages, and other relevant documents through Aalborg University’s recruitment system. The post states that the application is made via the job advertisement on the university website.

Supervisor team: Associate Professor Mante Vertelyte (principal supervisor, PI) and Professor Mette Buchardt (co-supervisor).
