PhD scholarship opportunity at the University of Oslo. Deadline is 29 Feb 2024.
Four Doctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1017) are available at the Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages, University of Oslo.
The Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages consists of 120 employees, including about 40 doctoral and post-doctoral fellows. Its ongoing research covers a wide range of topics under the broad rubrics of religious studies, cultural history and culture, politics, and history of Asia and the Middle East.
Candidates will apply with an individual research project. This project needs to be thematically relevant to the department to such an extent that it may be supervised by the department’s faculty. Applicants must contact a faculty member and seek their approval before submitting the application. For information about ongoing research, please visit the department’s project website and those of individual faculty members. Projects that speak to the research interests of more than one academic staff member will be preferred. The Department is a uniquely interdisciplinary research environment, and projects that transcend disciplinary boundaries are particularly encouraged.
The person 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 degree.
The PhD candidates will start on 12 August 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The appointment is for a duration of three years. All PhD Candidates who submit their doctoral dissertation for assessment with a written recommendation from their supervisor within 3 years or 3 ½ years after the start of their PhD position, will be offered, respectively, a 12 or 6 month Completion Grant.
