1 PhD position within the project The high seas and the deep oceans: Representations, resources and regulatory governance (3ROceans)

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU, Trondheim), Department of Historical Studies, offers a full-time 3-year PhD position within the project "The high seas and the deep oceans: Representations, resources and regulatory governance (3ROceans)", funded by the Norwegian Research Council's (NFR) program "Cultural conditions underlying social change" (SAMKUL). The position is open for promising scholars from several historical disciplines, such as history, history of ideas, art history and comparative literature. Depending on the student's qualifications and research project the PhD candidate will be supervised and work with one or more of the following: professors Håkon With Andersen and Knut Ove Eliassen, and associate professor Thomas Brandt (all NTNU). The project staff also include one full research position, one PhD student as well as an array of international and national partners from several disciplines and universities. The PhD candidate will thus be a part of a larger research team.

Project description"The high seas and the deep oceans: Representations, resources and regulatory governance (3ROceans)", will explore the deep and abiding relevance of the oceans to the emergence of modern society. By highlighting the persistence of ideas and cultural assumptions about the ocean, the project aims at mapping and analyzing how cultural conditions - representations, institutions and technologies - have provided shifting epistemological frameworks that over the course of time have influenced and formed both the exploitation and the regulation of the oceans. By this we aim to provide relevant insights related to the challenges facing the governance of the oceans today. A full description of the project is available upon request.
