Stillingsbeskrivelse:
The University of Oslo is Norway’s largest institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees. Its broad range of academic disciplines and internationally esteemed research communities make UiO an important contributor to society.Doctoral research fellowship linked to the Euronor research project (two positions)

Two Doctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1017) linked to the interdisciplinary research project EURONOR are available at the Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages (ILOS) at the University of Oslo.

In addition to four members of the academic staff at ILOS, the EURONOR project includes researchers from the Centre for European Studies (ARENA), from the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History (IAKH), and from the Faculties of Social Sciences and Law at the University of Oslo.

At EURONOR, our primary aim is the study how the Nordic Region, Norden, is influenced by Europe today, and how Europe is influenced by Norden. We seek to examine the changes Norden and the Nordic Model have gone through in recent decades, and how these changes are perceived elsewhere in Europe. Nordic solutions have come to assume a prominent position in political and cultural debates in many European countries, and a central concern of ours is to analyse the impact this focus on Norden has had on the political and cultural climate in these countries.

The two doctoral fellows who will be employed by the EURONOR project are due to study how Norden and the Nordic Model have been presented and used in political and/or cultural debates in either the United Kingdom/Great Britain or in France. One of the two posts will go to an applicant with a project on Britain, the other to an applicant with a project on France. All applicants must present an outline for their individual project, where they define their research question, identify relevant primary sources, and describe a method which is relevant to the central questions raised by the EURONOR project.

The EURONOR project will be able to offer the two doctoral fellows very good research and work conditions at the University of Oslo campus, as well as access to established international research networks.

The two fellows appointed will be affiliated with the Faculty's organised research training. The academic work is to result in a doctoral thesis that will be defended at the Faculty with a view to obtaining the degree of PhD. The successful candidate is expected to join the existing research community or network and contribute to its development. Read more about the doctoral degree.

The appointment is for a duration of three years. All PhD Candidates who submit their doctoral dissertation for assessment with a written recommendation from their supervisor within 3 years or 3 ½ years after the start of their PhD position, will be offered, respectively, a 12 or 6 month Completion Grant.
