Is there someone I can speak to in English about getting unemployment insurance?  I'm an American academic in DK and would like to purchase it.

Hi,
if you already have finished you study, you should apply for membership as an employee.
(I assume you have work)
Because you are an academic I will advice you to choose an A-kasse (Unemployment fund) targeted academics.
As a guideline you can use our guide for students because its the same A-kasser that focus on academics.
Find them here: http://a-kasser.dk/students/
At the page we mention 5 A-kasser and the degree courses/academics they are associated with.
You can also try the drop-down on same page, but only if you know what your education is called in danish.

If you dont care about haeing an a-kasse targeted academics you could also just apply for the cheapest A-kasse.
Its called FTF A-kasse. You find link on our page.  You have exactly the same rights about unemployment benefits, no matter what a-kasse you choose.

If you have not finished study you can apply for FREE membership.

Best regards
Anders
