About this position

Aarhus BSS Graduate School at Aarhus University is advertising a PhD scholarship linked to the project “Entangled Relations: gendered violence, intoxication and institutional responses to intimate partner violence in Denmark” at the Department of Psychology and Behavioural Sciences / Center for Alcohol and Drug Research.

The PhD project focuses on intimate partner violence (IPV), gendered violence, intoxication, and institutional responses, with a specific work package on the subjective experiences of IPV and contact with authorities and organisations. The successful candidate will use qualitative methods and concentrate on the reporting and non-reporting of IPV to the police.

The position is based in Aarhus, Denmark, and includes one semester of international research stay. The project is headed by Associate Professor Margit Anne Petersen and is funded by the ROCKWOOL Foundation. The research environment is interdisciplinary and connected to the Center for Alcohol and Drug Research, with collaboration involving Lev Uden Vold and an international advisory board.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a relevant Master’s degree in sociology, criminology, anthropology or a related social science field; fluent Danish is required because data collection takes place in Denmark; experience with qualitative methods is required, and related research experience is an advantage. Applicants must also submit a project description explaining how they would conduct the research within the overall project framework.

Assessment emphasizes the quality, originality and relevance of the research proposal, academic performance at bachelor’s and master’s level, and evidence of substantial written work such as a master’s thesis. The PhD is a 3-year programme with employment terms governed by the Danish state collective agreement and salary at base pay level 4–8 depending on qualifications.

Deadline: 7 September 2026 at 23:59 CEST. Apply through the Aarhus University recruitment portal.
