Description:

A two year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (SKO 1352), financed by the
Research Council of Norway, is available at the Center for Multilingualism in
Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing) at the Department of Linguistics and
Scandinavian Studies, University of Oslo, starting January 2020.

MultiLing is a Center of Excellence funded by the Research Council of Norway
and opened in June 2013. The Center successfully completed the Midterm
Evaluation to secure funding for the second period of five years, until May
2023. MultiLing aims to generate scientific knowledge on multilingualism
across the lifespan, related to three themes: Theme 1 Multilingual competence,
Theme 2 Multilingual practices, and Theme 3 Multilingualism, ideologies and
language policies (for more information, see http://www.hf.uio.no/multiling/).
The Research Strategy Plan for MultiLing’s Second Five Year Period (2018 –
2023) can be found here.

MultiLing seeks to recruit a postdoctoral candidate with excellent research
qualifications who will work with MultiLing researchers on research Theme 2
“Multilingual language practices”, specifically related to linguistic
practices among youth in multilingual urban spaces in Norway regarding the
role of language in processes of social differentiation (see MultiLing’s
Research Strategy Plan, Theme 2: Part 2.2).

Applicants are expected to present an independent research project proposal
and articulate how the proposed project fits in MultiLing’s Research Strategy
Plan. MultiLing engages innovative methodologies and scrutinizes critical
concepts and theoretical approaches in studying multilingualism, as emphasized
in the Research Strategy Plan, and the successful candidate is expected to
further develop Citizen Sociolinguistics, that is, engaging citizens in doing
sociolinguistic research. MultiLing recently opened its Socio-Cognitive
Laboratory, and the successful candidate is encouraged to use the affordances
of this lab for his or her research.

The successful candidate is expected to become part of MultiLing’s research
environment and contribute to its development. The successful candidate is
expected to strengthen the relevant research areas addressed above, to
contribute to and participate in the various workshops, conferences and
activities organized by MultiLing, and to be an active member of the MultiLing
team in Oslo.

The position is available for a period of two years, starting January 1, 2020.
The main purpose of postdoctoral research fellowships is to qualify
researchers for work in higher academic positions within their disciplines.

for the position
Curriculum Vitae (complete list of education, positions, teaching experience,
administrative experience and other qualifying activities, including a
complete list of publications)
