Description:

A position as Postdoctoral Research Fellow or Researcher (SKO 1352 /

History of Art and Ideas, University of Oslo.
The position is associated with the project Artificial Intelligence in

The position is available for a period of 3 years.
There is a 10 % component of the position which is devoted to teaching

Such candidates are eligible for a position as Researcher. In that
case the percentage of teaching and administrative duties is not

The successful candidate is expected to become part of the research
environment/network of the department and contribute to its
development. The main purpose of postdoctoral research fellowships is
to qualify researchers for work in higher academic positions within
their disciplines.
Qualification requirements and selection criteria:

areas relevant for the project (philosophy, linguistic pragmatics,
experimental psychology, computational linguistics or digital
humanities)
The candidate's research project must be closely connected to the main
project
Fluent oral and written communication skills in English. Knowledge of
a Scandinavian language is an advantage.
Personal suitability and motivation for the position
Appointment is dependent on the public defense of the doctoral thesis
being approved.
The following attributes are also highly desirable:
Experience with experimental methods/statistical analyses in
linguistics/pragmatics/psychology
Experience working with people from atypically
developing/neuroatypical populations, particularly autism.
In the evaluation of the applications, emphasis will be placed on:
The research project’s scientific merit, research-related relevance
and innovation
The applicant’s estimated academic and personal ability to carry out
the project within the allotted time frame and contribute to the main
project
Good co-operative skills, and the ability to successfully join in
academic collaboration within and across disciplines
