Associate Professorship in Anthropology with a special responsibility for external partnerships

Deadline 5 May 23:59 CEST

Expected start 1 Jan

The Department of Anthropology, part of the School of Culture and Society, invites applications for the position of Associate Professor in Anthropology. The associate professorship is a permanent full-time (37h/w) position that begins 01.01.26 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Place of employment: Aarhus University, Department of Anthropology, Moesgård Alle 20, 8270 Højbjerg, Denmark.

The position

We are seeking a colleague who is passionate about research and/or their regional and thematic specialization, a scholar who will contribute to strengthening our cross-sector partnerships, benefiting in this way our educational programs, students, and our research impact. Your research could fall under the remit of organizational anthropology, anthropology of development, or business anthropology, or you may have worked or conducted research within corporate settings. The important thing for us is that you have a solid research profile and a real interest in, and ideally experience with, building bridges between students and the labor market. In this capacity, the applicant will be expected to work in close coordination with the department's existing external relations unit MANTRA and strengthen our strategic sector collaborations. The applicant will furthermore be expected to work with the Head of Department and the educational coordinators to develop our educational programs.

Qualifications
  • Applicants must have a PhD or equal qualifications in Anthropology or related areas of research as well as research and teaching qualifications equivalent to those acquired during the course of an assistant professorship.
  • Applicants must have a solid research profile which can be focused either nationally or internationally and be able to present their vision and plans for the future development of their research field.
  • A strong international publication profile, including documented experience in communicating research results to a non-academic audience is of great importance. We invite applicants to explicitly reflect on their chosen formats of communication of research results.
  • Applicants must be able to document participation in national and international networks as well as experience in attracting external research funding.
    • The ideal candidate should be able to document research and/or practical collaboration with non-academic organizations within the corporate sector, the public sector or beyond.
    • The ideal candidate should be able to demonstrate their experience in establishing collaborations between students and non-academic partners. We invite applicants to submit a one-page outline of where they see untapped potential for future collaborations, which may help our students transition to the labor market in Denmark and abroad.

Past research achievements will be assessed based on the active research time of the applicant in question. We therefore ask applicants to specify any career breaks they have had (for instance due to parental leave or sick leave) so that we may deduce such periods when assessing the research productivity. Only submitted publications will be assessed; a list of publications is not sufficient. Applications without submitted publications will not be assessed. References or recommendations should not be included with the application. Applicants who are selected for a job interview may be asked to provide professional references.

Language and further information

Linguistic ability in Danish and the ability to teach and supervision in both Danish and English at university level will be an advantage given the intended role in strengthening our students' ties to and understanding of the Danish labour market. Applicants who do not speak Danish will be expected to obtain Danish Education 2, within three years. The course will be supported by the School.

Application process

The application must outline the applicant's motivation for applying for the position, attaching a curriculum vitae, a teaching portfolio, a complete list of published works, copies of degree certificates and no more than five examples of academic production (mandatory) . Please upload this material electronically along with your application.

If nothing else is noted, applications must be submitted in English. Application deadline is at 11.59 pm Danish time (same as Central European Time) on the deadline day.

Aarhus University's ambition is to be an attractive and inspiring workplace for all and to foster a culture in which each individual has opportunities to thrive, achieve and develop. We view equality and diversity as assets, and we welcome all applicants.

Shortlists may be prepared with the candidates that have been selected for a detailed academic assessment. A committee set up by the head of school is responsible for selecting the most qualified candidates.
