Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark KU - HUM - Fakultetet Full time

**Company Overview:** The Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen, invites applications for a postdoctoral position in Indo-European Studies.

The research project The Indo-European Dark Ages Illuminated, funded by VELUX FONDEN, aims to reconstruct the cultural vocabulary – words referring to technologies (e.g. the wheel) and socioeconomic phenomena (e.g. dowry) – of the IE "Dark Ages". After compiling a comprehensive database of vocabulary items across the IE branches, the project members carry out a computer-assisted phylogenetic analysis to determine the minimal age of each vocabulary item.

**Job Description:** The successful candidate will build the database framework in collaboration with the PI of the project. They will collect and assure the quality of data from those of the ten Core IE branches (all branches except Anatolian and Tocharian). The postdoc will coauthor an article and write two articles, e.g. one with an "areal" focus (e.g. the vocabulary of domestication and animal husbandry in Italic, Celtic and Germanic), and another one with a main focus on an underexplored semantic field (e.g. on the vocabulary on wheeled vehicles, textile terminology or marriage alliances) in a phylogenetic perspective.

**Required Skills and Qualifications:** The applicant should have a PhD degree in Indo-European Studies or a related field and must possess skills in written and spoken academic English at a high level. Reading proficiency in German is a requirement.
