Job portal All vacancies PhD Scholarship (Medical Humanities) The Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies, University of Copenhagen (UCPH), and the Centre for Culture and the Mind invite applications for one PhD scholarship, starting no later than 1 April 2026. The position is funded jointly by the DNRF Centre of Excellence, Centre for Culture and the Mind (CULTMIND) and The Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies (ENGEROM). The successful candidate will work closely with the Centre leader Ana Antic and Co-PI Jessica Carlsson Lohmann, Head of Research at the Competence Centre for Transcultural Psychiatry, Ballerup. The candidate will join a dynamic international and interdisciplinary research team, based at the Centre. The Centre for Culture and the Mind explores the puzzling relationship between cultural differences and the human psyche from a variety of disciplinary perspectives: historical, anthropological, psychiatric, literary and psychological. It zooms in on the core questions about the universality or otherwise of the human mind, which remain as difficult to answer today as they were a century ago. The Centre proposes that the issue of culture-mind relationship lays at the core of many social, political and medical debates: within cross-cultural psychiatry/psychotherapy, in trauma studies, and in migration and refugee studies. It explores how the human mind and common humanity have been imagined in different cultural, sociopolitical and disciplinary contexts, examining the assumptions and forces which shaped such definitions. By analysing how different cross-cultural models of the psyche were formulated and critiqued, the Centre’s interdisciplinary team aims to develop a new framework for understanding cross-cultural interventions and their politics, and to arrive at a more nuanced model of interaction between socio-cultural contexts and ideas of the psyche. The Centre consists of four interrelated thematic strands: cross-cultural research in human sciences; cross-cultural notions of trauma and resilience; cross-cultural therapeutics and creative mind; and cross-cultural encounters and population movements (migration). Introduction PhD studies consist of research programmes that qualify students for independent and wide-ranging research, development and teaching at international level. The main emphasis is on PhD students organising and conducting their own research project (under supervision). The programme culminates in the submission of a PhD thesis, which the student must defend in public. The PhD programme must be undertaken as a three-year full-time study within the framework of the 5+3 study programme. A PhD opens a range of career opportunities in academia and elsewhere. As well as writing a thesis, PhD students work in active research environments in Denmark and abroad. They contribute to the academic environment, take research training courses and convey the results of their research in teaching, at academic conferences and to the public. Qualification Requirements The PhD student will be a core member of the Centre’s thematic strand on cross-cultural exchanges and population movements. This strand, informed by multiple disciplines such as anthropology, history, literature and clinical practice, explores how different ‘psy’ and social science disciplines have conceptualised the mind and its socio-cultural attributes to address questions and problems related to cross-cultural movement, communication and understanding. It focuses on the fields of migration and refugee psychiatry, exploring their complex histories and their vital role in shaping present-day discussions about migration and refugeedom. Among other themes, it explores the role of translation and interpretation in the context of refugee and transcultural psychiatry, and asks how displacement, cultural adaptation and integration became constructed as fields of psychiatric intervention. The PhD student will work on a project that focuses on clinical encounters between patients and psychiatrists with different linguistic (and cultural) backgrounds and explores the role of interpreters in contextualising and translating psychological and emotional concepts, social practices and expectations, and culturally specific beliefs about mental illness. The perspective will be sociolinguistic and/or anthropological. How are cross-cultural meetings in psychiatric contexts organised and facilitated? What is the role of interpreters in cross-cultural psychiatric clinics, and how does their work interact with clinical concerns, cultural assumptions and broader societal and political expectations? What specific challenges and problems might emerge in the clinical encounter as a result of cross-cultural translation/interpretation? These are some of the questions guiding the project, but the successful candidate will be able to adjust and develop them in accordance with their interests. It is expected that the project will focus on interviews with interpreters, psychiatrists, nurses and social workers, focus groups with patients, and textual analysis of transcripts and recordings of psychiatric sessions. The primary setting will be CULTMIND’s core partner, Competence Centre for Transcultural Psychiatry (CTP). Knowledge of one of the core languages of the clinic (Arabic, Farsi, Ukrainian) is an asset. The successful candidate is expected to work both independently and in collaboration with the Centre’s research team. Qualification Requirements Applicants must have qualifications corresponding to master’s level related to the subject area of the project, e.g. literature, modern languages, linguistics, anthropology or medical humanities . They should be interested in expanding their knowledge in the field of translation, migration studies, cross-cultural communication and transcultural psychiatry. If you have completed your education in Denmark, you must have a master’s degree covered by the collective agreement for academics in the state sector. If you have completed your education outside of Denmark, you must either have a master’s degree equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (two years) or as minimum a bachelor’s degree equivalent to a Danish bachelor’s degree (three years) and be assessed as having professional qualifications at master's level. If you have completed your education outside of Denmark, we will obtain an assessment of your education from the Danish Research Agency. The candidate will be expected to conduct original research, and to produce a doctoral dissertation focused on analysing the relationship between language, culture and mental illness in a clinical setting . Within the Centre’s research team, the candidate will take part in broader intellectual and methodological discussions around the project’s goals and general directions. Experience with collaborative and interdisciplinary work will be an asset. The candidate should be able to teach in global history, anthropology and global medical humanities under the auspices of CULTMIND. The position is co-financed by the Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies. The department provides a framework for research and education in English, German, Italian, French and Spanish and their associated literatures, cultures and societies.
