Four Doctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1017) are available at the Department
of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies (ILN) at the University of Oslo. We

Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan, which is ILN’s Center of
Excellence, and Center for Ibsen Studies.

The persons appointed will be affiliated with the Faculty's organized research
training. The academic work is to result in a doctoral thesis that will be
defended at the Faculty with a view to obtaining the degree of PhD. The
successful candidate is expected to join the existing research milieu or
network and contribute to its development. Read more about the doctoral

The appointment for a doctoral research fellowship is for 3 years.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial 
advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
