TransRein examines the profound transformation that occurred in northern Eurasia, from the Atlantic coast to the Bering Strait, during the early modern period, as an economy based on hunting, fishing, and small reindeer herds transitioned to large-scale reindeer husbandry. This was a change that fundamentally affected people and societies.\nThe work involves extracting information from manuscripts dating from 1650 to 1750, primarily court records. Good collaboration with other TransRein members is essential.\nYour Background\nYou must have documented long-term experience extracting information from handwritten material from the period 1650 to 1750. Very good communication skills in Swedish are required. A higher degree in agricultural history or a related historical discipline is a merit.\nAbout Us\nThe Department of Urban and Rural Development conducts undergraduate and graduate education as well as research and collaboration. Approximately 160 people are employed across five divisions: Agricultural History, Landscape Architecture, Rural Development, Environmental Communication, and the Division of Political Science and Natural Resource Management, which includes Sida's helpdesk for environmental assessment. The department also hosts the Centre for Nature Guidance (CNV). Questions regarding sustainable use of natural resources and landscapes are central to our research, teaching, and collaboration. The department is the largest at SLU within social sciences, humanities, and design.\nAgricultural history concerns agrarian production and technical development, social and economic conditions, people in agrarian societies, and their relationship to nature, landscape, and society at large.\nLearn more about our benefits and what it is like to work at SLU at https:\/\/www.slu.se\/om-slu\/jobba-pa-slu\/\nLocation:\nUppsala\nEmployment Type:\nFixed-term employment, 5 months.\nScope:\n100%\nStart Date:\nAs soon as possible by agreement.\nApplication:\nWelcome to submit your application via the application button below by September 23, 2026.\nLabor Union Representatives:\nhttps:\/\/internt.slu.se\/min-anstallning\/facket\/kontaktpersoner\/\n\nSwedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) plays a key role in developing sustainable living, grounded in science and education.
