We are pleased to announce a new opportunity to join us at the Department of History, Lund University. A research position is now open within the GLOW project (GeneaLogies of Old Wealth), which examines long-term patterns of wealth, family and inheritance through historical genealogies and quantitative data. The position offers the opportunity to join an active research environment, contribute to the development of GLOW, and develop your own research profile within the broader themes of household economy, inheritance, wealth and inequality.

And while we have your attention – get to know HEIRS!

GLOW is closely connected to HEIRS (Household Economy and Inheritance Research Studies), a newly established research node focused on the historical study of household economy and inheritance. It brings together scholars who examine how property and resources were transferred across generations, how family strategies shaped these transfers, and how such practices influenced inequality and social structures. HEIRS serves as a platform for international exchange and collaboration, connecting research on households and inheritance with broader debates in inequality and economic history.
