A position as a research fellow is vacant in the Department of Special Needs education within the subject area of “Speech and Language Therapy”. Among equal applications, one within the subject area of voice disorders will be preferred.

The Department of Special Needs Education at the University of Oslo is one of the three departments at the Faculty of Educational Sciences. The department focuses on basic and applied research and education of bachelor-, master- and doctoral level candidates within the field of special needs education in Norway.

The Department of Special Needs Education offers a popular full time and a part time master degree level study within the field of speech-language pathology (SLP), for either students with a bachelor degree in special needs education, or completed preschool/teacher education. The area of speech-language pathology covers a wide spectre of subjects including challenges of assessment, intervention, and outcome within the areas of developmental and acquired speech-, language- and communication disorders, speech fluency disorders, voice disorders, and dysphagia.

The Department encourages internationally based research within the field of speech-language pathology, and consists at the moment of researchers within the areas of aphasia, speech fluency, and developmental speech and language disorders. In addition, the Department has employed a Professor II within the field of voice disorders. There is an ongoing process in re-establishing a clinical research lab at the Department which will serve and inspire clinical work and research within multiple areas connected to language and communication disorders (e.g., language development studies with subgroups, children with hearing disorders, acquired language disorders, etc.).

Most researchers are connected to the established research groups Child Language and Learning ( http://www.uv.uio.no/english/research/groups/cll/index.html ) and Inclusion and diversity - from a special education perspective (http://www.uv.uio.no/english/research/groups/inclusion-and-diversity-from-a-special-education/index.html). The main focus of the research group Child Language and Learning covers speech and language development, various speech and language disorders, and stimulation of child language. The focus of the research group Inclusion and diversity includes ongoing projects within adoption, migration and communication, as well as habilitation and rehabilitation. It is expected that the person offered the PhD-position participates in or connects to one of the Faculties research groups (http://www.uv.uio.no/forskning/grupper/).

The position is first and foremost connected to the areas of speech-language pathology, where teaching obligations may include both basic courses concerning language and communication at the bachelor level for all special needs education students, as well as more specific in-depth lectures at the master level. Other teaching obligations include supervision and evaluation of students at several levels (e.g., individual papers, group projects, problem based learning groups, master thesis).

The Department aims to establish and further develop a strong and internationally based professional and research environment within all fields of speech-language pathology. Traditionally, many project proposals concern research questions within developmental language disorders. We therefore encourage applicants to submit project descriptions covering subjects from the whole specter of areas within S
