Description:

The Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing)
seeks to recruit a postdoctoral candidate with excellent research
qualifications who will work with members of the research project Family
Language Policy in Multilingual Transcultural Families (MultiFam), a project
that draws on perspectives from all three of MultiLing's research themes.
MultiLing seeks candidates with documented expertise relevant for MultiFam.
Projects relating to ethnographic community profiling, focus group interviews,
and in-home interactions are particularly welcome (see the MultiFam project
proposal, section 2.2, available on the website indicated in the job
announcement); however, other projects relating to family language policy in
multilingual transcultural families will be considered. 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 research themes (see MultiLing's website),
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.
