Mapping and predicting human and environmental impacts on cultural heritage in Greenland under current and future climatic conditions
The Postdoc position is offered in connection with the joint Danish National Museum and Greenland National Museum & Archive’s research initiative “Activating Arctic Heritage” (AAH) supported by the Carlsberg Foundation. The position is part of the work package “The loss of cultural heritage” that focuses on understanding, mapping and predicting natural and human induced impacts on archaeological sites within Greenland’s UNESCO properties Kujataa (South Greenland) and Aasivissuit-Nipisat (West Greenland).
Job description
Preservation of archaeological sites and artefacts in Greenland are under pressure from a rapidly shifting climate, which also make them highly vulnerable to further influence from contemporary human activity. Rising air temperatures, permafrost thaw and fluctuations in precipitation are just some of the changes causing physical and chemical damage to archaeological sites and materials. These impacts in combination with increased visitor flows, sheep farming, plowing and drainage from farming activities constitute a great challenge for the long-term preservation of these cultural resources.
In the work package a range of different methods will be applied to elucidate the coupling between climate change, human activity and land use, on the one hand, and site stability and artefact degradation on the other. The work package has a strong focus on site investigations, remote sensing and computer modelling. The overall aim is to provide the fundamental knowledge and methods required to detect, monitor and quantify destructive threats to archaeological sites and artefacts within Greenland’s UNESCO properties.
The Postdoc candidate will be responsible for remote sensing and the development of suitable methods for identifying threats to archaeological sites (e.g. erosion, soil moisture, visitor foot paths, vegetation change). The candidate is expected to produce GIS based risk assessments for the UNESCO properties under current and future climatic conditions. The Postdoc position includes fieldwork in Greenland, and the candidate must contribute to practical work and logistics involved in this fieldwork.
Qualifications
The candidate should have a background in physical geography, landscape and/or environmental archaeology or similar and must hold a PhD related to these subject areas. The candidate must have significant and documented experience with Remote sensing techniques, GIS modelling and environmental sciences. The candidate should have a structured and analytical working approach and have experience with ArcGIS pro, Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, MODIS LST products and climate reanalysis data such as MAR3.7. Furthermore, experience with Arctic field work is a prerequisite and the candidate is expected to have a track record of working in collaborative projects. The candidate must have good communication skills in English and be willing to share knowledge and expertise with other members of the research group and contribute to the writing of academic papers.
Terms of salary and employment
The working hours are 37 hours a week. Salary, pension, and terms of employment will be in accordance with the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and The Academics Central Organization in Denmark and Circular concerning the job structure for academic staff with research responsibilities in archives, libraries, museums etc. under the Danish Ministry of Culture.
The appointment is for 2 years, starting on the 1st of May 2020 or shortly thereafter.
The place of work is at the Danish National Museum’s Section for Environmental Archaeology and Materials Science in Brede, Kgs. Lyngby, north of Copenhagen.
The job will involve travel activity (approx. 4-6 weeks each year) in connection with fieldwork in Greenland.
Application procedure
The National Museum is actively working to promote equality among employees and encourages all qualified, regardless of personal background, to apply for the position.
The application is to be submitted in English and must include the following:
If a publication has more than one author, or is the result of a collective effort, it must be clearly specified which part of the publication the applicant is responsible for.
Applications must be sent via the electronic recruitment system on our website www.natmus.dk/job and must be uploaded by March 23 2020.
Any publications to be included in the assessment must be received by the National Museum on March 23 2020. Publications can either be uploaded to the recruitment system or sent to Nationalmuseet, Frederiksholms Kanal 12, 1220 København K, Denmark, marking the envelope ‘Personale’. Publications sent to the Museum must be submitted in 3 copies. Only books or similar will be returned.
The National Museum will set up an (internal) expert Assessment Committee to evaluate the applications. Qualified applicants will be invited for interviews in a panel set up by the National Museum.
For further information regarding the position, please contact senior researcher Jørgen Hollesen phone +45 41206482, [email protected] or research professor Bjarne Grønnow, phone: +45 41206220, [email protected].
