Applicants should also have a strong publication record, excellent programming skills, experience with agent-based simulation and data science, and a proven ability to work in interdisciplinary teams.

The position is offered with a view to attracting talented applicants with an excellent and well-documented track record in innovative and internationally recognised research in computational archaeology, computational social science, cultural evolution, complexity science or similar and a specialisation in agent-based simulation.

The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to core activities at the School of Culture and Society and Aarhus University in general, and to strengthen the Social Resilience Lab's research activities and output in particular.
