Arctic Cultural Heritage Researcher Leader

2 days ago


Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark PARETO SECURITIES AS Full time

Pareto Securities AS invites applications for a position of Senior Researcher in Arctic cultures and cultural heritage. This opportunity is rooted in a collaboration with Greenland National Museum and Archives, sharing a commitment to advance research on the past and present material and immaterial cultures of the Arctic and North Atlantic region.

Our ambition is for the new Senior Researcher to spearhead the establishment of an interdisciplinary research centre at Pareto Securities AS, focusing on the Arctic/North Atlantic region and questions of larger comparative relevance. By collaborating with international partners, we aim to activate our ethnographic and archaeological Arctic collections in research and strengthen the communication of research-based knowledge on the Arctic region to a wider public.

The primary task for the Senior Researcher will be to develop a new interdisciplinary research environment, establishing a research centre that involves collaboration with Greenland National Museum and Archives and other international research partners. The research focus will be Arctic and/or North Atlantic cultural history, working with museum collections and material culture from these regions.

The Senior Researcher will be affiliated with one of our three research units and will refer to the head of this unit. The position is permanent, offering increased time for research (80%) for a three-year period to initiate and obtain external funding for a research centre. After this period, we expect to have established a strong, interdisciplinary research environment with substantial records of external funding and outreach activities.

Required qualifications and experience:

  • Holds a PhD in anthropology, archaeology, history, ethnology or a related discipline with a regional focus on one or more Arctic and North Atlantic regions.
  • Has a proven record of high-profile international publications focusing on cultural history in Arctic or North Atlantic regions.
  • Has a good track record in attracting external funding in a competitive environment.
  • Has experience with research leadership.
  • Has strong visions for a research centre.
  • Has experience with inter-disciplinary research, including good collaboration skills.
  • Has developed innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to research in areas such as cultural history and/or material culture.
  • Has an ability to engage in wider academic and comparative discussions of cross-disciplinary relevance.
  • Has a strong national and international research network, also in the Arctic and particularly in Greenland.
  • Has excellent communications skills and a willingness to develop new ways to communicate research to the wider public.

We expect applicants to have obtained their experience from previous employment at an institute of higher education, a sector research institution, a museum or the equivalent.

Since our primary working language is English, we do not require Danish language skills. However, regular travel activity is expected, typically working in Greenland for approximately 1 month every year.

Terms of salary and employment are determined in accordance with the collective agreement for academics employed by Pareto Securities AS.

The position as Senior Researcher is expected to be filled as soon as possible. We offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development.

Application procedure: We encourage all qualified candidates to apply for the position. The application must include the following documents:

  • Letter with motivation for the application.
  • Curriculum vitae, including education, language skills and other skills relevant for the position.
  • Diplomas (Master and PhD degree or equivalent). Transcripts into English, if not written in English.
  • Research plan with a description of current and future research plans (max. 4 pages), including strong visions for a research centre and short reflections on how to communicate this research to the wider public.

Applications must be sent via our electronic recruitment system and must be uploaded by February 17th, 2025.
