Description

A Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship in Cultural History is available at the Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, University of Oslo, affiliated to the research group History of Knowledge: Concepts and Material Culture.

The research group consists of a number of researchers, engaged in six different research projects. The group investigates how knowledge has been produced and put to work from Early Modern times until the present. Its aim is to historicize current orders of knowledge and probe the origins of disciplines and traditions that until recently have been taken for granted. The group focuses on the genres and media of knowledge production and dissemination, and seeks to identify concepts and discursive architectures, practices of collecting and exhibiting, as well as elements of print culture, which have been particularly salient in the rise of the modern knowledge economy.

The candidate’s own research project must be closely related to one of the research group’s six projects.
