Archaeological Network Researcher Position at Aarhus University

1 day ago


Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Aarhus Universitet (AU) Full time

The Social Resilience Lab and the School of Culture and Society invite applications for a 22-month fixed-term postdoctoral position in Archaeological Network Research. This appointment begins on a date to be determined, but we are eager to welcome the successful candidate as soon as possible.

This role is associated with the Villum Foundation Synergy project ROMNET, which aims to develop methodological tools to support the archaeological practice of creating material culture similarity networks. The project brings together archaeologists from Aarhus University (AU) and network scientists from the IT University of Copenhagen to create an integrated computational workflow for reconstructing past social networks from material culture data.

The successful applicant will participate in project activities related to archaeological theory, data collection, and analysis. They will collaborate closely with other team members in developing new methods and work under the guidance of AU PI Tom Brughmans. The applicant will also contribute to the life of The Social Resilience Lab by engaging with a wider academic community and continuing their development as an internationally competitive researcher.

The employment concerns several key tasks: conducting a literature review of approaches to network representation of material culture networks, describing archaeological transformation steps from ceramic data to network data, collecting Roman and prehispanic USSW ceramic data from large open databases, applying diverse network representation approaches to ceramic data, and collaborating with other project members.

We seek an innovative scholar with a background in archaeology, history, or digital humanities, preferably with a specialization in network research or the digital analysis of synthesised material culture datasets. The ideal candidate should have doctoral-level experience in handling humanities, archaeological, or historical data to a high scientific standard and familiarity with at least one of the Project's research areas.

The selected candidate will enjoy a dynamic research environment, ample professional development opportunities, and a working environment that upholds values such as work-life balance, kindness, and putting people over product. We offer a range of benefits, including independence and authority over one's tasks, timelines, and processes, and the opportunity to pursue vision-driven world-class research as a team.

Aarhus University is an academically diverse and research-intensive institution committed to high-quality research and education and the development of society nationally and globally. As part of this commitment, we strive to foster a culture in which each individual has opportunities to thrive, achieve, and develop.
