Job Title: PhD Research Fellow in Art History or Literature
Job Rank: Researcher

Specialty Areas: Linguistic Theories

Description:

We are happy to announce a PhD position in art history or literature
at the Department of Language and Culture. The PhD position is
attached to the cross-disciplinary research group Arctic Humanities.
The group consists of scholars who have a long experience in Arctic
humanities research and a broad international network. The core group
meets regularly on campus to read and discuss relevant literature and
theory and co-ordinate contributions for projects and guide students.

In the period 2020-2024, our main focus is the Arctic Voices Project
(Arctic Voices in Art and Literature in the Long Nineteenth Century).
This is an international and interdisciplinary research project which
is fully funded by the Research Council of Norway.

Our research seeks to update, nuance and, where necessary, reconstruct
established knowledge on the Arctic. We are particularly concerned to
uncover Indigenous histories in and relations to the region, and to
expose histories of Euro-American exploitation, violence, and
domination. Knowledge about how the historical, colonial, and
capitalist structures continue in the present may help change the
present and future. Aligning with the UN’s sustainability goals, our
project is concerned to develop potentially better and more democratic
ways of understanding human relations to the environment. The PhD
fellow’s work will be an important contribution to the development of
this knowledge.

The objective of the position is to complete research training to the
level of a doctoral degree. Admission to the PhD programme is a
prerequisite for employment, and the programme period starts on
commencement of the position. The PhD fellow position is for a period
of three years and full time studies with the possibility of an
extension of the appointment period. If the doctoral dissertation is
submitted for appraisal within 3 years or within 3.5 years, the PhD
candidate is qualified for a completion grant for either 12 or 6
months. The completion grant should be used to further qualification
measures such as courses in teaching in higher education, lecturing
and other relevant work at the faculty. More information about the
completion grant scheme can be found at https://uit.no/Content/800367/
cache=1673538088000/Mal-prosjektskisse%20-ENG%20HSL.docx .

The workplace is at UiT in Tromsø. You must be able to start in the
position within a reasonable time after receiving the offer.

The thematic for the PhD dissertation is not predetermined. However,
the choice of empirical material (texts, images, archival material,
and published sources), theory and analysis, geographical and temporal
parameters, should fit within the overall thematic of the Arctic
Voices project.

Arctic Voices is a postcolonial project that gathers and writes
forward stories about those who were on the receiving end of European,
American, and Russian imperialism in the long nineteenth century
(about 1750-1914). We examine untold and unpublished histories of
colonial encounters between Arctic Indigenous peoples or Arctic
animals and colonial agents through analyses of texts, images and
objects that originate in such Arctic contact zones (M.L. Pratt,
Imperial Eyes, 1992, 2008). We analyse these stories through a
theoretical framework consisting of postcolonial, ecocritical and
ecofeminist theory and Indigenous methodologies. Our hypothesis is
that this approach to textual and visual analysis will contribute a
more democratic, equal, and sustainable way of understanding human
relations to the environment.
