About this position

The postdoctoral position is based in the Division of History at Lund University, within a large and active department that also includes Human Rights Studies and the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies. The Division brings together professors, senior lecturers, researchers, doctoral candidates, and administrative staff, and offers a research-rich environment with teaching across undergraduate to doctoral levels.

The postdoc will be affiliated with one or more of the Division’s six research nodes: History of Knowledge (LUCK), Global History (LAUGH), Labour History (AH), Digital History (DEPTH), Holocaust History and Memory Culture (NORAH), and Heritage, Ownership and Wealth (HEIRS). These nodes connect researchers in the Division with national and international networks and organise seminars, workshops, and other collaborative activities.

The role is designed as a career-development post with a strong emphasis on independent research, supported by colleagues working in closely aligned fields. The successful applicant will be expected to develop and drive their own research project, contribute to the activities of a research node, and take part in the wider scholarly life of the department. The Division also highlights regular career-development seminars and a research environment strengthened by external funding success.

The Department of History is located in the modern LUX building in central Lund, with convenient access to libraries and archives. The postdoc is expected to be present regularly in the workplace and may also take on teaching and administrative duties related to the research environment.

The appointment is a fixed-term, full-time postdoctoral position.
