丹麦奥胡斯大学招聘北极附近文化适应演进方向博士后
The Department of Culture and Society in conjunction with the Arctic Research Centre (arctic.au.dk) invites applications for a postdoctoral research position. The appointment is a two-year full-time fellowship and begins on 1 April 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The position
The project will be embedded in an emerging, dynamic interdisciplinary team interested in the relationship between humans and the Arctic environment. The successful applicant will be responsible for the compilation of ethnographic data from the circumpolar north, characterising the similarities and differences between indigenous Arctic peoples. The database will be used to develop phylogenetic models for the historical relationships amongst indigenous Arctic peoples. Ultimately, these models will be used to evaluate the roles played by cultural (intrinsic) and environmental (extrinsic) factors in Arctic cultural evolution.
