Description:

The Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing) seeks to recruit a PhD candidate with excellent research qualifications who will work with members of the research project Family Language Policy in Multilingual Transcultural Families (MultiFam), a project at MultiLing that draws on perspectives from all three of MultiLing's research themes: multilingual competence, multilingual practices, and the management of multilingualism. 

MultiLing seeks candidates with documented expertise relevant for MultiFam. In the application, the candidate is expected to explain how the proposed project will contribute to MultiFam. Although the proposed project may be firmly anchored within one of MultiLing's three themes, interdisciplinary projects that successfully draw on perspectives from more than one theme will be given priority.

In the case of equally qualified applicants, an applicant proposing a project that addresses issues relevant for the multilingual situation in Norway will be given preference. Candidates with a minority language background relevant for the multilingual situation in Norway are encouraged to apply. Competence in Norwegian is not a requirement.

Requirements:
- a Master's degree in Linguistics or in a discipline related to MultiLing's work;
- a project proposal for a doctoral dissertation in a relevant area of MultiLing's research that is relevant for the MultiFam project (maximum 5 pages);
- good English language skills, both spoken and written.

In the evaluation of the applications, emphasis will be placed on:
- the project's scientific merit, research-related relevance and innovation;
- the project's relevance for MultiFam;
- the applicant's academic and personal qualifications in order to carry out the project within the allotted time frame;
- the applicant's ability to complete the organized research training;
- good cooperative skills, and the ability to successfully join in academic collaboration within and across disciplines.

How to Apply:
Please visit the application website provided.

Application Deadline: 02-Apr-2015
