(10) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc  summary/title:–Postdoctoral positions in Political Science at Aarhus University – Advertising Democracy

An acute challenge in today’s Western democracies is how to design strategies to improve citizens’ democratic commitments. Yet, most previous efforts to bolster citizens’ democratic values by providing them with elaborate facts, figures, and arguments have generally failed. The Advertising Democracy project (AdDem) argues that a successful intervention strategy should account for the fact that we live in an age when people face intensifying demands on their time and attention. Most do not want to spend precious time reading long, complex, democratic information from researchers and experts.

AdDem fills this gap and pioneers a new research agenda that redefines how we think about pro-democratic interventions in the 21st-century information environment. It examines whether democratic advertisements – ads that communicate the importance of democratic principles in an easily accessible manner – can improve citizens’ democratic commitment. The project will explore whether such democratic advertisements can strengthen citizens’ democratic values and, if so, determine the most effective design for these advertisements.

(13) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc  summary/title:–Postdoctoral Position in Interaction Design Research

Most social robot designs are dominated by cute aesthetics, featuring baby-like characteristics such as large eyes, small chins, and rounded facial features and limbs. Such cute robot designs have been proven to evoke both physical and emotional responses in humans. However, despite the widespread use of the design approach, cute toy-like designs have also been found to be perceived as condescending and a source of rejection due to their child-like associations, which might not match personal perceptions or desired home aesthetics.

The ACUTE project aims to explore minimally visible social cues as an alternative way to indicate robot sociality. The project will focus on artefact-inspired robots (AIR), as an alternative trajectory to the dominant robot appearance categories: anthropomorphic (human-like), zoomorphic (animal-like), and technical (machine-like). Seeking to explore how the motion profile and visual appearance of AIR influence the formation of social expectations and ascription of social capacities. Aiming for robot designs that convey some level of social cues and ability for social coordination, but in a way where the user attributes non-human social capacities (socio-morphing), rather than human social and emotional capacities (anthropomorphising).

(17) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc  summary/title:–Postdoc position in policy-led transformation of agriculture

The Department of Environmental Science at Aarhus University, Denmark, invites applications for a 2-year postdoctoral position in policy-led sustainable transformation of agriculture. The position is part of the research center Land-CRAFT, which is a Pioneer centre located at Aarhus University.

Food security, climate change and loss of biodiversity represent three of today’s major societal challenges. The Land-CRAFT centre was formed in June 2022 to undertake fundamental and applied research from field to landscape scales that will address these societal challenges, including the policies necessary to foster these changes.   

There is a need to better understand pathways to a policy-led, sustainable transformation of agriculture. Such a transformation faces political constraints across the entire process from the initial policy debates and implementation through the agricultural industry’s business and political responses to subsequent rounds of policy reforms. These processes need to be studied both at Danish and European levels to better understand the constraints and to provide policy relevant knowledge on how to overcome them. There might be several approaches to address these problems, and for this position combinations of theoretical and empirical contributions would be appreciated.
