About this position

ARoS Aarhus Art Museum is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for Olafur Eliasson × ARoS – Shared Futures, a long-term collaboration that centres on a major solo exhibition with Olafur Eliasson. The post is embedded in the museum’s curatorial and research environment and is closely tied to the upcoming exhibition project, including its public programme and related interpretive work.

The research focus is Olafur Eliasson’s practice and immersive installation art more broadly. The role invites a project in art-historical research, curatorial studies, public engagement, or museology, with particular attention to topics such as perception, sensory experience, light and colour, embodiment, phenomenology, aesthetics, participation, the public sphere, and the social and ecological dimensions of contemporary art.

The position is not limited to desk-based research. The successful researcher will contribute to exhibition-related activities, including a research article, a research-based public programme, talks or other public-facing activities, participation in an international conference, and research perspectives for exhibition development and interpretation. The museum also frames the role within its wider collaboration around a reading library, archival resources, and a public programme linked to the project.

ARoS presents itself as one of Scandinavia’s leading art museums, with a strong profile in installation art and ambitious audience experiences. The postdoctoral researcher will work with the museum’s curatorial, research, collection, and Public Engagement teams, while maintaining academic independence. The position also connects to broader dialogue with researchers at Aarhus University.

The opening is for an 18-month fixed-term postdoctoral appointment at ARoS Aarhus Art Museum in Aarhus, Denmark.

Funding details

Fixed-term, full-time postdoctoral position for 18 months with an approximate salary of 52,000 DKK per month; salary governed by the collective agreement with the Danish Association of Masters and PhDs or agreed contract terms at a corresponding level.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in art history or a closely related humanities discipline, or have qualifications equivalent to a PhD. A strong research profile in contemporary art, installation art, museology, or a related field is required. It is considered an advantage to have an internationally oriented research profile, excellent written and spoken English, an interest in interdisciplinary and museum-based research, the ability to work independently, experience translating research into accessible communication for museum visitors, previous experience publishing catalogues and/or working at a cultural institution preferably a museum, and strong collaborative skills across academic, curatorial, and public-engagement contexts.

How to apply

Submit a CV, proof of PhD degree or equivalent, a complete publication list, and a research proposal with a ~500-word vision statement on the project and its relevance to the position. Further documentation, including selected publications, may be requested.
