We invite applications for a Researcher (TV-L 12, 100%) for our research cluster on Minority Issues in the Denmark-Germany Border Region.

This research cluster, established in 2022, reflects the ECMI’s commitment to the Denmark-Germany border region, which is widely perceived as a best practice example of conflict resolution as well as minority accommodation and inclusion. The cluster critically examines minority experiences in the region, encompassing all four of the acknowledged national minority groups (Germans in Denmark as well as Danes, North Frisians, and Sinti and Roma on the German side of the border).

As part of its research agenda for the coming years, the ECMI is looking for a researcher who will assist with the cluster’s existing projects regarding intergroup relations and minority language issues in the Denmark-Germany border region.

Key phenomena investigated in these projects include the following:

• minority and majority group members’ awareness regarding national minority issues such as group status, rights, and institutional support;
• minority and majority group members’ attitudes towards the different national minorities and minority issues;
• minority and majority group members’ perceptions of intergroup dynamics such as discrimination and/or active support;
• minority language use and transmission.

Additionally, the researcher will develop their own empirical research regarding national minority issues in the Denmark-Germany border region.
