Strong theoretical knowledge of childhood and education, as well as familiarity with issues surrounding school attendance and exclusion, will be important. The candidate should demonstrate skills in interdisciplinary collaboration, project management, and ethical research practices involving children and vulnerable populations. Excellent communication skills in Danish and/or English are likely necessary to engage with participants, stakeholders, and academic audiences. Although specific experience and education levels are not provided, the postdoctoral nature of the role implies a completed PhD and prior research experience in ethnographic or childhood research. Overall, the position demands a researcher with a solid foundation in qualitative methodologies, a deep understanding of childhood and education contexts, and the capacity to contribute to knowledge on long-term school absenteeism through ethnographic inquiry.
