At the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Department of Development and Planning a PhD stipend is available within the general study programme Planning and Development. The stipend is open for appointment from December 1, 2010.
Job description
The PhD position is available within the research field "Food Research":
Design of user-oriented food services for elderly people - language, values and experiences
The PhD project will map and analyze the interplay between language (usage), values and user within food service systems for the elderly. The project will combine ethnographic fieldwork with a communication-theoretical analysis, based especially on reception theory, at the meeting between elderly citizens, kitchen staff and the municipal administration. The communication must be elucidated in a broader context, for example in relation to different professional cultures, food culture and organizational issues. The project is based on existing food service systems, but will also develop scenarios and methods for future communication situations in a food service context.
