TWO 2-3 year POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS at Aarhus University: Heart Openings

Dear all,

With this email I am sending you the announcement of two 2-3 year postdoctoral positions in the HEART OPENINGS project focusing on the cultivation and experience of love in religious and contemplative traditions.

The project is funded by the European Research Council (ERC-STG) and is planned to be conducted over five years in collaboration with Buddhists, Christians and Muslims in Denmark, Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Egypt (and possibly also including additional contemplative communities in other parts of the world).

Using audiovisual and microphenomenological methods, HEART OPENINGS will examine in detail the sensory and emotional structures of concrete experiences of love. Through participant observation and life history interviews, the project will examine and compare how the cultivation and experiences of love impact and emerge from peoples everyday lives across different contemplative and religious traditions.

Deadline for applications is SEPTEMBER 15, 2021. Earliest starting date is FEBRUARY 1, 2022, but could also be later.
