Postdoctoral position in Archaeological Urban Data Analysis at the Social Resilience Lab, Depar[...]

1 week ago

Aarhus, Denmark Aarhus Universitet (AU) Full time

The Social Resilience Lab, School of Culture and Society, and ERC project The Model City invite applications for a three-year fixed-term postdoctoral position in Archaeological Urban Data Analysis. The three pillars of this position consist of 1. scholarly work on large-scale comparative data collection and analysis, 2. continuous integration into the academic community and 3. personal and professional development.

The appointment begins on the 1st of January 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.
We acknowledge that imposter syndrome is a widespread phenomenon in academia, but it should not deter potential applicants from putting themselves forward for this role. Should you have any doubts or require further information, Dr. I. Romanowska ( ) is available for informal discussions regarding the potential fit for the position.

In its pursuit of academic excellence, The Faculty of Arts is committed to creating an inclusive working environment and therefore encourages all qualified candidates to apply, regardless of personal background, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, ethnicity etc.

Research context
We are looking for an innovative scholar with a background in archaeology, history or digital humanities preferably with a specialization in the analysis of large-scale datasets.

The position is associated with an ERC Starting Grant Project ‘The Model City. Drivers and mechanisms of long-term urban evolution’, which will investigate urban resilience by studying historical trajectories of past cities. Through mass aggregation and analysis of a wide sample of archaeological and historical data, it seeks to answer why some cities thrive while others fail, identifying factors that predict city persistence and evaluating social, environmental, and economic mechanisms that influence urban resilience. The scope of this position encompasses aggregating and synthesizing large amounts of Past Urban Data and applying advanced analytical methods to investigate the fundamental forces governing urban systems' long-term dynamics. The project team will be comparing data from the Roman Empire, Classic Mesoamerica, and Medieval Northern Europe, with a view to identifying common causes of urban collapse and mechanisms that enabled past cities to survive over centuries.

The successful applicant is expected to participate in project activities related to data collection, data management, and analysis and will support other team members in tasks related to data handling. They will be mainly supported by the PI and a research engineer but also working along other members of the lab.

The position

  • The successful applicant will be expected to develop the urban data research line within the framework provided by The Model City project, this will include such tasks as
    • identify and collect relevant data and datasets following codesigned protocols,
    • apply standard computational data analysis techniques and develop new ones tailored to the research questions at hand
    • handle large amounts of data in a robust and sustainable manner, using computational solutions
    • understand and apply data management standards and open science principles
  • The successful applicant will be expected to engage in standard scholarly activities, such as,
    • present their research at international meetings
    • publish results in peer-reviewed, international scientific journals
    • contribute to the organisation of research workshops and international conferences
  • The successful applicant will be expected to actively participate in the life of The Social Resilience Lab, engage with a wider academic community and to continue their development as an internationally competitive researcher, by
  • working independently on core research tasks and handling a gradually increasing degree of autonomy
  • contributing to other projects and collaborating with other members of The Social Complexity Lab including across disciplines
  • participating in continuous professional development opportunities.

Support, both peer-support and mentoring, in terms of the technical and scholarly tasks as well as personal and professional development will be provided to ensure optimal conditions for a thriving professional period.

Teaching
The position will involve a limited amount of teaching as agreed upon with the Head of the Department and the project PIs.

Knowledge exchange
The successful applicant will be expected to exchange knowledge with various sectors of society and to contribute actively to public debate in areas related to the position.

Qualifications and the selection process
Applicants for this position must hold a PhD degree or equivalent qualifications in archaeology, history, urban studies, geography, classics, digital humanities or a related field.
Applicants are asked to submit the following documents:

  • an example of their work in which they present a data analysis pipeline developed by them. This can take a form of a Jupyter Notebook, R Markdown or equivalent. It should include a short introduction specifying the research questions and methods used.
  • a cover letter stating the relevant experience and projects and motivation for applying for the position (maximum two pages),
  • a cv and a list of publications,
  • a maximum of two relevant publications.

The selection process will consist of the following steps

  • Initial assessment review : Shortlisted applications will be evaluated to assess the candidates' academic qualifications, research experience, and relevant skills.
  • Interview with Appointment Committee : Selected candidates will then meet with the appointment committee for an evaluation of their expertise and potential contributions to the School.
  • Possible second interview : Selected candidates will be invited for a second interview to discuss their vision, research interests, and fit within the team.
  • Final candidates will be asked to provide details of up to three referees for a reference check .

Applicants must document (essential):

  • doctoral-level experience in handling humanities, archaeological, or historical data to a high scientific standard,
  • good level of knowledge of at least one general-purpose programming language, such as Python, R or similar,
  • familiarity with at least one of the Project’s research areas (the Roman Empire, Classic Mesoamerica, and Medieval Northern Europe),
  • fluency in written and spoken English,
  • description in cover letter or CV of team-playing skills, the ability to constructively collaborate, experience in interdisciplinary work and collegiality

Applicants should highlight (beneficial):

  • an interest in urban phenomena, resilience and

  • activity in an academic network relevant to the project goals
  • familiarity with databases, openlicences, APIs
  • a working-level knowledge of Spanish and/or German (given the case studies)

*The research activities will be evaluated in relation to the actual research time.

*Please upload a maximum of two publications alongside your application.
*Only submitted publications will be assessed; a list of publications is not sufficient. As a result, applications without submitted publications will not be assessed.

*Professional references or recommendations should not be included. Applicants who are selected for an interview may be asked to provide professional references.
*The application must be submitted in English
