The Department of Political Science at Aarhus University invites applications for one full-time, three-year postdoctoral position in the ERC Starting Grant project EQUILIBRIUM — Changing for the Better: Escaping Negative Equilibria in State-Citizen Relations — led by Associate Professor Jan P. Vogler. The starting date is 1 August 2026 or 1 September 2026 (with further flexibility based on mutual agreement). The Research Project EQUILIBRIUM investigates how regions can escape vicious cycles in state-citizen relations. In some contexts, poor state performance in the delivery of public goods and services reinforces negative population attitudes, which leads to the election of parties that limit the state’s resources and fewer applicants for public sector jobs, among others. This perpetuates the state’s poor performance, creating a self-reinforcing dynamic. The project examines which factors enable regions to break out of these negative patterns and shift toward more positive equilibria characterized by more favorable citizen attitudes. The project develops new theoretical concepts and empirical measures, using a novel sequential research design that integrates observational data, large-scale public opinion surveys, and inquiries to public administrations. Empirically, the project will collect comprehensive data across five European countries (Denmark, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Romania) and the United States. Additional information about the project’s content and goals can be found here. The Postdoctoral Position As a postdoctoral researcher you will contribute to the early phases of the project, which involve designing and implementing major data collection efforts. Key responsibilities include: Survey Research: Design and implement two waves of public opinion surveys across all six countries Develop survey items measuring citizens’ experiences with public institutions Design and implement conjoint experiments Manage survey implementation through professional survey firms Inquiries to Public Administrations: Design inquiries to bureaucracies across the selected countries Implement these inquiries and analyze response patterns Data Collection and Analysis: Collect and organize observational data on public service quality Integrate multiple data sources to create comprehensive datasets Conduct quantitative analyses using advanced statistical methods Collaboration and Dissemination: Work closely with the PI and other (future) team members Contribute to research publications in leading international journals Present findings at international conferences Job Description You will: Make major contributions to research design, pre-registration, the process of seeking ethical approval for the research, writing, data collection, analysis, publication, and public outreach Lead and co-author studies on the subject Engage meaningfully with the department’s broader research community; a minimum presence of three days on campus each week is expected Teach the equivalent of one seminar per year, which is approximately 55 hours of classroom teaching and examination per year. Have opportunities to influence the process of data collection for additional research ideas. Have access to funding for travel and workshop/conference participation. Your Qualifications Required: PhD in political science or related fields (e.g., computational social science, sociology, economics, public administration) Proficiency in quantitative analysis, particularly in (quasi-)experimental methods Proficiency in working with R Experience with survey research, especially survey and conjoint experiments Experience with both solo work and teamwork, exhibiting creativity, effective communication, cooperation, and a collegial spirit High-level professional English Desirable: Substantive interest(s) in at least one of the following areas: (a) citizens’ views of and experiences with public institutions, (b) state-citizen relations/interactions, (c) administrative burdens, (d) public service quality, and/or (e) (the performance of) public bureaucracies Experience with the retrieval and analysis of observational data Experience in working with geographic data (desirable, but not strictly necessary) Candidates who only partially meet this profile are nonetheless encouraged to apply.

The Danish School of Education (DPU) at the Faculty of Arts, Aarhus University, invites applications for a fixed-term one-year postdoctoral position associated with the project Hybrid text practices in the Danish L1 classroom. Polyphony, coherence and involvement when writing with generative AI, financed by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The project runs for 44 months, beginning in March 2026. The position is full-time (37 hours/week) and begins on 1 March 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. Our new colleague will be employed at the Department of Educational Theory and Curriculum Studies, Educational Philosophy, and General Education. The position is based at DPU at either Aarhus campus or Emdrup campus (see the description of DPU below). Since the department is situated in both Aarhus and Copenhagen, the selected applicant should expect some travel activity. The Danish School of Education (DPU) is committed to diversity and encourages all qualified applicants to apply regardless of their personal background. Research context In the project Hybrid text practices in the Danish L1 classroom. Polyphony, coherence and involvement when writing with generative AI, we explore a potentially new broad form of hybrid human–AI writing that also involves navigating artificially generated text. Through a qualitative text and classroom design, we examine writing with generative AI tools in Danish L1 classrooms in Year 7 and 8 from dialogical, sociocultural and social semiotic perspectives. We focus on students’ observable writing processes in terms of strategies and interactions, their texts, and their explicit reflections on these processes and their writing choices. We are particularly interested in how generative AI contributes to or challenges students' involvement in writing, and how it affects the way they orchestrate multiple voices and create coherence in texts – all of which are pivotal for literacy learning. Besides much-needed empirical insights, we expect to enrich the theoretical concepts of polyphony, coherence, and involvement with new dimensions. Postdoctoral position The selected applicant will work in close collaboration with PI Kristine Kabel and the rest of the research team throughout the employment period, including planning and conducting fieldwork, analysing data, disseminating, and arranging advisory board meetings. The two main tasks will be to conduct and write a literature review to identify existing knowledge about lower secondary students' writing processes, texts, and reflections on writerly choices in non-GAI practices, and to carry out a specific work package in the project in collaboration with the entire research team. In this work package, we seek to explore what characterises Year 7 and 8 students’ observable writing strategies and interactions when participating in hybrid text practices with generative AI tools. As part of this work package, the postdoctoral researcher will be expected to conduct fieldwork in three classrooms in collaboration with the researchers in the team, in spring 2026, and autumn/winter 2026-27, and participate in analytical activities and the writing of one article, also as part of a collaborative effort. Teaching and supervision As a postdoctoral researcher, your position is primarily research-based but will also involve a limited amount of teaching and supervision.

**PhD Scholarship in Sociolinguistics: Contemporary Rural-Urban Tensions** The Center of Excellence TRANSITION – Center for Changing Urban and Rural Lives, based at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen, invites applications for a PhD scholarship in sociolinguistics focusing on contemporary rural-urban tensions. We welcome applications from candidates with backgrounds in Danish or Scandinavian studies, linguistics, or ethnology. The successful candidate will be enrolled at the PhD School at the Faculty of Humanities, affiliated with the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics (NorS). The scholarship is for 3 years, full-time, starting 1 May 2026. **About TRANSITION – Center for Changing Urban and Rural Lives** We are seeking a motivated PhD candidate to join TRANSITION – Center for Changing Urban and Rural Lives, a new Center of Excellence that opened on February 1, 2025. Funded for up to 10 years by the Danish National Research Foundation, it represents a collaboration between the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Copenhagen and the National Museum of Denmark. Worldwide, the transition from predominantly rural to urban-centric societies marks one of the most significant shifts in human history, with profound implications for culture, language, and identity. This transition has fostered a longstanding narrative of opposition between rural and urban life, influencing social cohesion, democracy, and sustainability. At TRANSITION, we work interdisciplinary by combining studies in language, literature, and history to explore these developments. The center's research aims to uncover and understand the cultural history and lived experiences of people from 1870 to the present, exploring life courses, experiences of living in new contexts, and the transformation of rural and urban places. **The Position** Applicants are responsible for drafting a preliminary project description, which will be further developed in dialogue with the supervisor and the TRANSITION core team upon employment. The PhD project must be empirically grounded, preferably employing discourse and/or narrative analysis. We seek projects focusing on how rural-urban tensions are enacted, represented, and negotiated in a contemporary Danish context. Data may be collected through quantitative and/or qualitative approaches such as ethnography, surveys, or interviews, or through media sources, social media, or other relevant sources. The candidate is expected to actively engage in and contribute to the center's interdisciplinary research environment, including participation in joint data sessions and collaborative activities. **Qualification Requirements** Applicants must have qualifications corresponding to master's level related to the subject area of the project. Furthermore, applicants must have good knowledge of modern cultural history, and experience and/or knowledge of working with empirical data. If you have completed your education in Denmark, you must have a master's degree covered by the collective agreement for academics in the state sector. If you have completed your education outside of Denmark, you must either have a master's degree equivalent to a Danish master's degree (two years) or as minimum a bachelor's degree equivalent to a Danish bachelor's degree (three years) and be assessed as having professional qualifications at master's level. If you have completed your education abroad, we will obtain an assessment of your education from the Danish Research Agency. Applicants must possess skills in written and spoken academic English at a high level. The empirical data is in Danish, therefore the successful candidate must hold skills in Danish or another Scandinavian language. To be awarded a PhD scholarship, the applicant must enroll as a PhD student at the Faculty of Humanities, according to the rules of the Danish Ministerial order No 1039 of 27 August 2013. **The PhD Program** The PhD program is a study program that aims at training PhD students, at an international level, to undertake research, development, and teaching assignments. These qualifications open opportunities to a variety of careers within the private and public sectors. The program includes drafting a PhD thesis, active participation in research networks, PhD courses and knowledge dissemination. The standard duration of the PhD program is three years of full-time studies, which equals 180 ECTS credits. **How to Apply** Applications must be submitted online and written in English or a Scandinavian language. Please include the following enclosures in PDF or Word format: - Cover Letter detailing your motivation and background for applying - CV - Project abstract (maximum 1,200 characters) - Project description (maximum 12,000 characters, not including bibliography), including suggestions for relevant research questions, theory, and methods - Time schedule for the PhD project - Diploma and transcripts of records (both bachelor's and master's
