We are looking for an innovative scholar with a background in archaeology and human osteology, preferably with a specialisation in isotopic analyses. The postdoc will be involved in two recently funded research projects, “Samfundsbrud” (2025-2027) and “Milestone” (2025-2028). “Samfundsbrud” is a collaborative project aiming at promoting research in Danish cultural heritage and involves several partner institutions: Vesthimmerlands Museum, Nordjyske Museer, Museum Østjylland and Moesgaard. It focuses on the process of Christianization and its impact on social relations, burial customs and use of the landscape in the late Viking Age, as well as discusses how and when the new faith transformed the life and afterlife of local communities in North and East Jutland. The project is supported by the Augustinus Foundation’s “Kulturarv” scheme. “Milestone” addresses significant change in archaeology and its impact on the lived life of past communities and individuals by tracking down milestones in the development of the burial site of Lindholm Høje throughout the first millennium CE. The project is centred around a strong research team of junior scholars based at AU and supported by collaborations with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), the Aarhus AMS Center, Nordjyske Museer and Copenhagen University. The project is supported by a Carlsberg Foundation’s Semper Ardens Accelerate grant.
