København Ø
Two 2-year postdoc positions are available at DIIS, starting on 1 December 2022 or shortly thereafter. The postdocs are to work on the research project “Wars, pandemics, and the human mind: Competing conceptions of trauma in the 21st century” (https://www.diis.dk/en/activity/psychological-sciences-shape-how-societies-respond-to-extreme-events).
About the position
The project explores how the psychological sciences have shaped western societies’ responses to the wars and crises of the 21st century—and how these events in turn have affected psychological science. The psychiatric model of trauma known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, currently defines how western societies perceive and treat the psychological effects of shock and violence. But since the attacks on September 11, 2001, the official model of trauma has been challenged by new and different understandings. Competing scientific vocabularies of “resilience” and “moral injury” now vie to provide an alternative to the psychiatric model of trauma.
The task of each postdoc is to select and conduct a case study that sheds light on the relation between the psychological sciences and the governance of trauma. The postdocs are free to propose their own case studies, which should include a focus on the scientific debates and the politics surrounding trauma, resilience, and moral injury, and how these concepts have been mobilized and instrumentalized in military and/or civilian contexts (e.g., among national policy makers within civilian or military health in Europe and the United States, in humanitarian organizations, or in international organizations like the UN).
The core team will consist of Senior Researcher Johannes Lang, the two postdocs, and a research assistant. The team will be based in Copenhagen, but each postdoc includes funding for a 2-month research stay in Europe or the United States.
DIIS as a workplace
You will become part of an inclusive and inspiring knowledge environment at an institution that aims to be at the forefront of multidisciplinary research, policy analysis, and dissemination on global affairs. It is essential that you are ready to engage in cross-disciplinary collaboration and that you value input from colleagues with different approaches, as mixing different disciplinary backgrounds and theoretical approaches is a large part of DIIS’ DNA. The project will be anchored in the research unit on Peace and Violence. You will have plenty of time to focus on your research on the project, as you do not have teaching obligations. We expect you to publish academically and communicate your research on relevant media platforms, at public seminars, or through lectures. We also expect you to participate proactively in the common efforts of the institute.
We prioritize a high degree of presence but want our employees to have a good work-life balance. Therefore, we offer flexible working hours and some possibility of working from home. We are located in Copenhagen’s new waterfront district, Nordhavn, approximately 3 km from the city center with excellent public transportation.
We expect you to:

A pension contribution of 17.1 % is added to the above-mentioned salary.
