The position and the project
The postdoc position is connected to the project ‘Transforming illness experience through a co-creative dance practice for young cancer survivors: A pilot study’ (2024-2025).The project investigates the impact and potential of creative dance practices in the rehabilitation of young cancer survivors in Denmark. The project is based on qualitative research methods, primarily ethnographic data-gathering techniques, and uses embodied, narrative, and performative approaches and video-graphic documentation in ongoing analysis and discussions.
The successful candidate will be expected to work in close collaboration with Dr. Sarah Pini, principal investigator of the project, to develop and implement a co-creative dance-based rehabilitative intervention for young cancer survivors in Odense and Aarhus, in collaboration with professor Mette Terp Høybye at Aarhus University (co-PI) and dance artist Marie Hallager Andersen.
The candidate will be expected to take responsibility for conducting ethnographic fieldwork during the intervention and to contribute to the data collection, analysis, dissemination and publication of the results in collaboration with the research team. The candidate will also be expected to participate and contribute to the life of the Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics and to initiatives and activities of the Research Unit of Movement, Culture and Society (MoCS) with attendance in meetings, seminars and other departmental events.
The project takes place in Denmark. We are therefore looking for a candidate able to handle fieldwork, including participant observation, ethnographic interviews, video diaries and recordings in Danish.
