POST DOC RESEARCHER – CONSUMER RESEARCH
Department of Marketing and Management
University of Southern Denmark, Odense
The Department of Marketing and Management at University of Southern Denmark in Odense invites applications for a position of Post doc researcher in consumer research for a period of two years. The successful candidate will be expected to take up appointment September 1st 2007 subject to mutual agreement.
This position is part of a larger, cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional research project in "health branding". The focus of the post doc position is the interaction between product/brand constellations, taste culture (referring to both the gastronomic and the life style dimension of the taste construct) and commercial representations of cultural myths related to health. Such mythologies may relate to issues of "nature" and "ecology/organic produce" but also in a complex and sometimes contradictory relationship to myths about "performance", "body (imagery)", bodily regimes, dieting and "light consumption" on the one hand and "hedonism", "anti-stress" and "relaxation" on the other. Since issues concerning health are to an extreme degree subject to social desirability effects, such a study necessitates a reliance on ethnographic and observational studies to complement interviews and other verbal accounts.
The position is limited to two years with and has no teaching obligations included. Since this is a sponsored research program, there will, however, be certain obligations in terms of communicating research results during the period.
In terms of research the position is with the Department of Marketing and Management, and priority will be given to applicants with documented research in the field of consumption. The doctoral degree of the candidate, preferably, should be awarded within marketing with focus on consumer research, sociology or anthropology.
