Postdoc in Science and Technology Studies on the logistics of cancer therapy Technical University of Denmark in Denmark

DTU Management is advertising a 2-year Postdoc position in Science and Technology Studies (STS) focused on the logistics of cancer therapy and healthcare infrastructure. The position is linked to the EASYGEN Consortium and sits within a growing research environment that studies how logistical expertise, technology, and infrastructure shape the conditions of caring well.

The post is connected to Benjamin Lipp’s research agenda at the Technical University of Denmark, where the group combines STS, Organization Studies, and Valuation Studies to examine the relevance and impact of “logistical values” in healthcare settings. The research interest includes how different actor groups—such as patients, care workers, and logisticians—define what counts as “good logistics,” and how alternative ways of doing logistics can be explored together with operations/logistics researchers and affected groups.

The broader context also mentions collaboration with the recently awarded DFF Starting Grant LOGICARE, which investigates logistical automation in Danish hospitals. The project studies hospital logistics, clinical work, infrastructure, robotics, AI, and the everyday negotiation of priorities in care delivery. This makes the opportunity especially relevant for candidates interested in healthcare logistics, hospital operations, technology studies, and the social dimensions of medical infrastructure.

Eligibility highlights: the post is aimed at applicants with interest in STS and related social-science approaches to healthcare and logistics. The post does not list detailed formal requirements in the text provided, but it clearly positions the role as a postdoctoral research appointment in an interdisciplinary environment.

Funding: this is a paid postdoctoral position; no stipend amount or additional financial package is specified in the post.

Deadline: apply by 31 July 2026.

How to apply: use the DTU Career Site job posting linked in the announcement. Read the project details carefully, prepare your application materials, and submit before the deadline. For questions, contact Benjamin Lipp at [email protected].
