Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship at the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics. The chosen candidate will be employed and enrol at the Faculty of Humanities under the PhD School at the Faculty of Humanities. The scholarship is for 3 years starting on 1 May 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Dark Ages project The collective research project The Indo-European Dark Ages Illuminated, funded by VELUX FONDEN, aims to reconstruct the cultural vocabulary – words referring to technologies (e.g. the wheel) and socioeconomic phenomena (e.g. dowry) – of the IE “Dark Ages”, the poorly lit period between the dissolution of Proto-Indo-European (PIE) and the emergence of the individual daughter branches. The semantic fields treated in the project are (1) clothing and textiles, (2) metals and metal production, (3) animal husbandry, (4) agriculture, (5) foods and utensils, (6) social structure and jurisdiction, (7) religious practices, (8) warfare, (9) transport, (10) economy and commerce, (11) construction and buildings. After compiling a comprehensive database of vocabulary items across the IE branches, the project members carry out a computer-assisted phylogenetic analysis to determine the minimal age of each vocabulary item. Since the vocabulary is indicative of the culture of the speakers of a language, the project will lead to new insights, based on historical linguistic evidence, into the cultural and technological stages and transitions in western Eurasia at the dawn of history. It thus corroborates the thriving cross-pollination between historical linguistics, archaeology and historical population genetics. The PhD project The main responsibility of the candidate is to carry out their own PhD project within the wider frame of the overall research project. Moreover, as part of the work tasks included in the PhD programme the candidate is responsible for collecting and curating data from one or more branches in which the candidate has special knowledge. The candidate must draft a preliminary description of a PhD project addressing one or more semantic fields of Indo-European as outlined above. The PhD project should provide a detailed historical account of the relevant lexical items in one or more branch proto-languages of Indo-European (Proto-Italic, Proto-Germanic etc.), including their cultural context. The PhD project should take into account both items inherited from PIE and more recent items present in the branch proto-language, including loan words from known and unknown sources. The PhD project will be carried out under the supervision of project PI Thomas Olander. The candidate is expected to collaborate closely with the other members of the Dark Ages project, to participate in group meetings at the Roots of Europe research centre and to integrate with the research group Language History. The candidate will be invited to co-author papers to the extent that they can be incorporated into the thesis. Applicants are invited to familiarise themselves with the the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics. The PhD Programme PhD studies consist of research programmes at the highest international level that qualify students for independent research, knowledge dissemination and teaching. The main emphasis is on PhD students organising and conducting their own research project (under supervision). The programme culminates in the submission of a PhD thesis, which the student must defend in public. The programme is prescribed to 180 ECTS credits, corresponding to three years of full-time study. A PhD degree opens a range of career opportunities in academia and elsewhere. As well as writing a thesis, PhD students work in active research environments in Denmark and abroad. They contribute to the academic environment, take research training courses, and convey the results of their research in teaching, at academic conferences and to the public. Qualification requirements The candidate must have a high degree of knowledge of historical linguistics and, especially, of Indo-European studies. Candidates with interests and experience in linguistic phylogenetics, database design and/or archaeolinguistics will be prioritised. Applicants must have qualifications corresponding to master’s level related to the subject area of the project e.g. Indo-European Studies. 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. Reading proficiency in German is an advantage.

The Department of Political Science at Aarhus University invites applications for a 2-year full-time postdoctoral position. The postdoc will work on a research project financed by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The project is entitled "Local Policy Customization in a Double Democracy" (DOUBLEDEM) and focuses on how subnational politics customizes national policies. The project is headed by Professor Peter Bjerre Mortensen. Starting date is 1 February 2025. **Project Overview** DOUBLEDEM is aimed at offering three key contributions to the literature on intergovernmental relationships: 1) a new theory on local policy customization of national policy building on the concept of customization from the EU literature; 2) a new measure of national policy to systematically map – over time and across policy areas – the demands that national regulation imposes on local governments; and 3) a new measure of local policy to empirically examine local policy customization across subnational units of governments and policy areas. The postdoc is expected to contribute to all three parts of the project, and to be main responsible for a new measure of local policy customization. The postdoc is expected to work closely with Professor Peter Bjerre Mortensen but will also to some extent have opportunities to finish or pursue own research projects. In addition to the outlined research tasks, the position entails teaching the equivalent of one course per year. **Your Qualifications** Applicants are expected to hold (or be close to completing) a PhD in political science, preferably with a focus on central-government relationships in Denmark since the empirical case of the project is Denmark. In addition, applicants are expected to possess the following qualifications: - Demonstrated intimate knowledge of intergovernmental research - Demonstrated competence in and practical experience with case study research on local policy customization - Fluency in the Danish language since much of the research will be based on process studies of Danish municipalities **Who We Are** With around 130 academic staff members and 40 PhD students, the Department of Political Science is among Europe's largest political science departments. The research at the department covers most political science disciplines, including public administration, and represents a variety of methodological approaches. We are among Europe's highest-ranked departments, and our broad research profile enables us to focus on societal problems as they appear in the national and international political arena. This allows us to contribute actively to the development of the discipline. We offer a lively and ambitious research and teaching environment characterized by pluralism and openness. We expect active participation in the activities of the department, which includes being present at the department at least three days per week. The Department of Political Science is part of Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University – a top 100 university. Aarhus BSS has achieved the triple-crown AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS accreditations. **Place of Work** Department of Political Science, Bartholins Allé 7, DK-8000 Aarhus C **International Applicants** Aarhus University offers a broad variety of services for international researchers and accompanying families, including relocation service and career counselling to expat partners.
