Applications are invited for a 2-year PostDoc position at the Department of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The position is available for two years from September 1, 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Job description
A postdoctoral position is a fixed-term academic position. The position is heavily weighted in favour of research. Other duties (e.g., research administration) may have to be performed to a limited extent. The university determines the exact ratio between the various responsibilities. The ratio may vary over time.
The PostDoc will collaborate with Associate Professor Mathias Wullum Nielsen on a project focusing on knowledge hierarchies and career trajectories in science, financed by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. This project will combine computational text analysis and data from Danish administrative registers to examine how socio-demographic characteristics (including gender, nationality, ethnicity, parenthood and social background) and research specialization (in terms of thematic and methodological focus) intersect to influence young researchers’ career opportunities. The postdoc will help lead efforts in developing and maintaining relational databases of administrative register data and science-related (bibliometric) data, and carrying out various forms of quantitative data analysis. The selected candidate will be part of a small research group consisting of the P.I. and three postdocs, and will be expected to contribute substantially to publications in the research group, both as first and secondary author.
Qualifications
To be considered for the position, applicants must have research qualifications at least corresponding to what can be achieved as part of a successfully completed PhD. The ideal candidate will have a PhD in sociology, economics, management, information science, education or related fields. We seek applicants with strong statistical skills and experience with managing large datasets and relational databases. Familiarity with computational text analysis (e.g. topic modeling) is a plus. We also seek candidates with good communication skills in spoken and written English, and an ability to produce state-of-the art social-science research.
For further information about the position, please contact Mathias Wullum Nielsen ([email protected]).

Salary and conditions of employment
Salary and terms of appointment will be in accordance with an agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). The annual salary for postdoctoral researchers is within the range DKK 412.000 – 434.000 (EUR 55,000 – 57,900 app.). The University will also pay a monthly contribution to your pension fund corresponding to 17.1 % of your salary. Negotiation for additional supplements will be possible.
An agreement between The Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC) makes it possible for international researchers employed by the University to achieve a pension exemption, whereby the pension contribution will be paid out as salary. For more information about the different pension schemes, please see http://ism.ku.dk/onarrival/pension/. A special tax scheme is offered to researchers recruited abroad, http://ism.ku.dk/onarrival
