Kolding
We are inviting applicants interested in critical scholarly inquiry into the design of medical products and systems, for a 3-year PhD position starting 1 September 2022. The candidate will work at the Department of Design and Communication at the University of Southern Denmark, within a research group investigating design’s ongoing engagement with users’ bodily well-being.
Qualifications

Candidates are also required to have:
Preferred qualifications include prior experience with academic publishing; practical or scholarly experience with or within the medical sector; and/or working knowledge of Danish or one of the Scandinavian languages.
The project
PhD position is related to the 3-year research project “Design as Somatic Expertise: The User’s Body and Well-Being in Design Today,” funded by Carlsberg Foundation. The project is led by Harun Kaygan at the Department of Design and Communication in Kolding, under the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Southern Denmark. The research project “Design as Somatic Expertise” investigates designers’ interest in and engagements with users’ bodily well-being across design disciplines such as product design and interaction design, and in the design of diverse products as medical devices and playground equipment. We are interested in how designed products track users’ movements, habits and bodily processes, as well as how designers develop and use methods to capture users’ gestures, skills and affective states. More information on the research project can be found at the following link:

The PhD project will investigate medical device design from a critical humanistic perspective, using STS-based theoretical frameworks together with qualitative methods. It will look into design dimensions such as user-product interactions, interface design, aesthetics and atmosphere, around issues such as self-tracking and self-monitoring, prosthetic embodiment, and building and maintenance of care networks. It is expected for the PhD candidate to design and conduct their own research under supervision. The PhD project will be supervised by Harun Kaygan and an external co-supervisor related to the medical sector.
