Centre for Internationalisation and Parallel Language Use (CIP) at the University of Copenhagen is inviting applications for one three-year PhD scholarship commencing 1 September 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. We are looking for a PhD candidate with a background in sociolinguistics or related fields and preferably with experience in linguistic ethnography who is motivated to undertake doctoral research as part of a five-year collaborative project on text-generative AI and the university (AI-UNI) funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.

QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

• Applicants must have a relevant 2-year Master’s degree (120 ECTS or equivalent), possibly with a specialization ( speciale ) within the areas of sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, applied linguistics or similar. The qualifications of applicants with non-Danish Master’s degrees will be assessed to ascertain whether they correspond to the Danish level. For further information, please refer to the website of the Danish Ministry of Education and Research: https://ufm.dk/en/education/recognition-and-transparency/find-assessments/general-assessments-for-specific-countries/?set_language=en .
• The successful applicant must have advanced analytical skills and be a strong communicator in English. We expect the PhD thesis to be written in English. If deemed necessary, CIP may request that applicants document their English skills.
• Due to the collaborative nature of the host project, it is essential that the candidate has excellent collaborative skills and a strong interest in being part of a close-knit research team.
• Since the case study may involve data in Danish as well as English, knowledge of Danish or another Scandinavian language is preferable, but not mandatory.
• Specialist knowledge of AI is not a requirement.
