Description:

Three Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1352) are available at the

active research environments in linguistics (including multilingualism),
medieval studies (including Norse philology and Celtic), Nordic literature
(including dissemination of literature and Ibsen-studies), Nordic language
(including Norwegian as a second language), and rhetoric and communication
studies. We refer to the ILN web page for a description of the research
activities in the various parts of the Department, inclusive MultiLing – the
Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan, which is ILN’s
Center of Excellence, and Center for Ibsen Studies.

The appointment for a post-doctoral research fellowship is for 3 years. The
position includes 10% teaching and administration.

The persons appointed are expected to join the existing research milieu or
network and contribute to its development. The main aim for the position is to
qualify for work in top research positions.

Requirements

- A Doctoral Degree within one of the fields of the department.
- A project close to research carried out at ILN, with a potential for
contributing to the realization of UiO's strategic goal of becoming a top
university.
- Personal aptitude and high motivation for the position

The Doctoral dissertation must have been submitted for evaluation before the
application deadline.

In the evaluation of the applicants, emphasis will be placed on

- The quality of the project description
- The applicant's academic and personal qualifications in order to carry out
the project
- Good cooperative skills, and the ability to successfully join in academic
collaboration within and across disciplines

We offer

- Salary level 57 - 65 (NOK 483 700 - 560 700, depending on level of
expertise)
- A challenging and stimulating working environment
- Attractive welfare arrangements

Submissions

Applicants must submit the following attachments with the electronic
application, preferably in pdf format:

- Application letter describing the applicant’s qualifications and motivation
for the position
- CV (complete list of education, positions, teaching experience,
administrative experience and other qualifying activities, including a
complete list of publications)
- Project description (3-5 pages) for the research to be undertaken, including
a progress plan. The project must be completed within the allotted time frame

All documents must be in either English or in a Scandinavian language, either
in the original or a translation. Diplomas, MA theses and the like are not to
be submitted with the application, but applicants may be asked to submit such
information or works at a later date.

The applications will be reviewed by researchers in the relevant field of
research. The short-listed candidates will be called in for an interview at
the University of Oslo. Also see rules for employment in post-doctoral
positions.

The University of Oslo has an agreement for all employees, aiming to secure
rights to research results a.o.
