Job description

About the Doctoral Network

With six beneficiaries and nine associated partners, ArCHe unites academic research centres and non-academic organizations (cultural heritage sector, specialist organisations, museums and media). Within this joint platform for research and training, customized PhD projects will allow for cross-fertilization of knowledge among researchers and partners through scientific courses, workshops, conferences, applied secondments and transferable skills tuition. Training in archaeology, anthropology, critical heritage studies, heritage management, bioarchaeology, geology, oceanography, coastal engineering/preservation and communication relevant to coastal heritage and environment will equip the ArCHe PhDs with advanced interdisciplinary and cross-regional knowledge and skills applicable to various academic and non-academic fields across Europe. Through best practices, the PhD projects will contribute to the visibility, preservation and sustainable integration of the vulnerable cultural heritage in coastal areas facing global environmental and development challenges.

More about the project DC9: “The management of Stone age coastal sites in different environments across Europe: Status, challenges, prospects”

DC9 will deal with the status, challenges and prospects of the heritage management of Stone Age (STA) coastal sites in today’s coastal areas across different geographical regions and national borders of Europe, in the light of infrastructure development and environmental and climatic challenges, which threaten these sites. Cases from SE-Norway, W-France, N-Spain and W-Latvia will be compared. The scope and modes of threats through current development, ways of preservation as well as the extent and methods of archaeological documentation (through e.g. rescue excavation, research excavation, citizen science etc.) will be analysed and compared in the light of the different national heritage management systems. DC9 will thus critically reflect the impact but also limits of cultural heritage management in different STA coastal landscapes in different countries and will thus both gain from and contribute in an innovative way to critical heritage studies.

In terms of method, DC9 will 1) compare different cultural landscapes and environments (case-studies) in which these sites are embedded today, including aspects of their modern development (synergy with DC1), 2) compile a catalogue of STA coastal sites in these areas, documented in national and regional databases, reports and literature (synergy with DC3), and 3) compare how the heritage management systems in the different countries deal with these sites, with regard to preservation, integration into modern landscapes, or archaeological excavation (synergy with DC8). This will be undertaken through study of literature and study-visits in the respective areas. This innovative comparative approach will be a pilot-study and will allow to address the international current state of affairs of managing the STA coastal sites in a cross-regional perspective, identify challenges and to formulate best practices. Expected results: 1) To give an overview over different systems of management and administration of STA coastal sites in different European countries and environments. 2) To assess their strength and weaknesses, and how they could learn from each other and cross-fertilize. 3) To provide important prospects of how to optimize administration and management of coastal sites in a sustainable way to make them known and visible in their cultural environments, which will lead to a better protection of these sites.

The project provides training for a career within international archaeological, cultural and environmental heritage management (preservation/administration) and policy-making, Green European heritage management and landscape protection.

Academic secondments: University of Latvia (1 month), University of Cantabria (1 month), FIHAC (1 month) and CNRS (UMR 6566)/University of Rennes (2 months), to study management practices in different regions.

Non-academic secondments: ADRAMAR (1 month) to get insights into association work and underwater-archaeology survey.

Main supervisor: Professor Almut Schülke (Museum of Cultural History, University of Oslo).

Co-supervisors: Professor Thora Petursdottir (University of Oslo, IAKH), Professor Pablo Arias (University of Cantabria, International Institute of Prehistoric Research of Cantabria).

Appropriate academic knowledge and skills to apply for this position: Archaeology, Cultural heritage studies, Cultural heritage management, Critical heritage studies, Stone Age archaeology.

PhD Research Fellow in Geosciences (Earth History)

10. February 2024Social Sciences/EconomicsUiOW

PhD Research Fellow in Geosciences (Earth History)

About the position

Position as PhD Research Fellow in Geoscience available at Centre for Planetary Habitability at the Department of Geosciences.

No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo. Starting date no later than October 1, 2024.

The fellowship period is 3 years.

A fourth year may be considered with a workload of 25 % that may consist of teaching, supervision duties, and/or research assistance. This is dependent upon the qualification of the applicant and the current needs of the department.

Knowledge development in a changing world – Science and technology towards 2030.

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences

Job description

Much of the research in historical geosciences is concerned the plausible relationships between different (reconstructed) variables, such the atmospheric concentrations of different gases (e.g. oxygen, carbon dioxide), features of the surface of the earth (e.g. continental area, tectonic activities, snow and ice cover, biodiversity), and characteristics of the earth’s interior. These variables are variously estimated via proxies (e.g. isotopes) or using models with different types of input parameters, giv-en a set of assumptions, usually based on modern measurements. While there is a lot of focus on both the generation of proxy data and the construction of earth history models, there is less focus on time-series analyses and especially causal inference, even though many of the questions posed in the recent literature concern unraveling causal relationships among time series. There is hence a need to use better time se-ries tools and further develop time series tools for temporally patchy, highly uncer-tain data common in historical geology.

The Ph.D candidate, will carry out some or all of these research in collaboration with PHAB scientists:

Use a time series inference framework to quantify relationships between different abiotic (temperature, tectonics, atmospheric carbon dioxide) and/or (possibly) biotic time series (e.g. extinction rates, functional groups) across the Phanerozoic and beyond.
Use a time series inference framework to ask if the underlying dynamic processes in different time intervals of earth history are different (e.g. comparing Snowball Earth periods)
Quantify the relationship(s) between measured temporal proxies and model generated curves meant to reflect those measurements (e.g. a delta 018 curve and a modelled global temperature curve)
Contribute to an updated version of layeranalyzer (Reitan and Liow 2019) where the time series inference will be performed, including a R CRAN version, together with extended tutorials and vignettes.
Depending on the skills and inclinations of the candidate, the candidate can be involved in model extensions to layeranalzyer.

The Ph.D candidate will work closely with Trond Reitan, Lee Hsiang Liow, Trond Torsvik and other PHAB scientists. The candidate can choose to be co-affiliated with the Natural History Museum Oslo.

Qualification requirements

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition to be among Europe’s leading communities for research, education and innovation. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.

Master’s degree or equivalent in Geosciences or other related quantitative disciplines (e.g. statistics or evolutionary paleobiology)
Foreign completed degree (M.Sc.-level) corresponding to a minimum of four years in the Norwegian educational system
Fluent oral and written communication skills in English

Desired qualifications:

We seek a candidate who has a background in geosciences or a related field (e.g. evolutionary biology, paleobiology), who can document some experience in statistical inference and programming. The candidate should be eager to become highly proficient in programming (in R and/or C++) and in time series analyses. The candidate should be highly motivated to understand earth and/or biogeodynamics on time scales of millions to billions of years.

Grade requirements:
The norm is as follows:

The average grade point for courses included in the Bachelor’s degree must be C or better in the Norwegian educational system
The average grade point for courses included in the Master’s degree must be B or better in the Norwegian educational system
The Master’s thesis must have the grade B or better in the Norwegian educational system

PhD position in the HORIZON Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Doctoral Network ArCHe “Archaeological Coastal Heritage: Past, present and future of a hidden prehistoric legacy”

10. February 2024Social Sciences/EconomicsUniversity of GothenburgW

Ref PAR 2024/156

General information on the DN ArCHe:

The Doctoral Network ArCHe (https://www.arche.uio.no/) will train 10 PhD fellows for increasing the scientific and public value of Europe’s archaeological coastal heritage, focusing on the legacy of Stone Age hunter-fisher-gatherers (c. 12,000–2000 calBC). Including some of the earliest remains of human activity, this fragile and very heterogeneous legacy is crucial for understanding human engagement with the coast. Today, it is embedded in a variety of geographic settings across Europe, differing in environmental development, which face massive environmental and human threats, and is approached in various ways in cultural heritage management. ArCHe addresses the challenges of this fractured field with an innovative past–present–future approach focused on connecting the legacy from the past, its present status as archaeological heritage and prospects for its future protection and integration into lived landscapes. With six beneficiaries and nine associated partners, ArCHe unites academic research centres and non-academic organizations (cultural heritage sector, specialist organisations, museums and media). Within this joint platform for research and training, customized PhD projects will allow for cross-fertilization of knowledge among researchers and partners through scientific courses, workshops, conferences, applied secondments and transferable skills tuition. Training in archaeology, anthropology, critical heritage studies, heritage management, bioarchaeology, geology, oceanography, coastal engineering/preservation and communication relevant to coastal heritage and environment will equip the ArCHe PhDs with advanced interdisciplinary and cross-regional knowledge and skills applicable to various academic and non-academic fields across Europe. Through best practices, the PhD projects will contribute to the visibility, preservation and sustainable integration of the vulnerable cultural heritage in coastal areas facing global environmental and development challenges.

– mobility allowance	6000 SEK per month All eligible researchers recruited within a DN are entitled to receive this allowance. It contributes to the private mobility related expenses of the researcher.
– family allowance	4950 SEK per month (only if eligible to these conditions: “Family” means persons linked to the researcher by marriage (or a relationship with equivalent status to a marriage recognised by the legislation of the country where this relationship was formalized) or dependent children who are actually maintained by the researcher)
Project description including «Objectives» and «Expected Results»	DC8 will contribute knowledge on how existing and future archaeological activities in shared landscapes can be made locally relevant, sustainable, and attuned to contemporary dynamics at multiple scales. The PhD student will examine three case study areas across Europe (Norway, W-France, Latvia) that host coastal Stone Age hunter-fisher-gatherer heritage (excavated/not excavated), mapping different actors (such as local community heritage enthusiasts, municipal administrations, builders, planners, cultural heritage management actors, scientists, and environmental protection and conservation groups), interests, challenges and opportunities that may affect future management and use of these sites. Using anthropological methods such as participant observation and interviews, and interdisciplinary approaches such as focus groups, photo elicitation, participatory mapping, sensory walks, and short surveys, the study will provide an in-depth understanding of the socio-material dynamics that shape these shared landscapes, ranging from structural and economic conditions to social and cultural factors and environmental concerns. The comparative knowledge will be used to identify how prehistoric hunter-fisher-gatherer traces can best be integrated into future planning and use of these landscapes in a sensitive and inclusive manner, e.g. as places of learning in sustainable infrastructure development or tourism. DC8 will aim to foster consciousness and reflexivity among site stakeholders (including researchers and other actors), both within and beyond the network, to strengthen public dialogue and inclusiveness. This project provides training for a career in sustainable natural and cultural resource management. Expected results consist of academic and popular science outputs, the former a dissertation and two co-authored journal articles. Data will be stored at UGOT.
Academic secondments	DC8 has a cross-regional comparative perspective through secondments to SE-Norway, W-France and Latvia. Academic secondments occur at the University of Oslo (2 months), CNRS/University of Rennes, France (2 months), and University of Latvia, Latvia (1 month), with the purpose of developing a comparative understanding of stone age heritage in different case-study sites.
Non-academic secondments	Viken County Council (Norway), to learn regional management of archaeological sites and administration of cultural landscapes with diverse stakeholders (1 month).
Main supervisor (including organisation)	Professor Maris Gillette, School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg
Co-supervisor (including organisation/s)	Associate Professor A Mjærum, University of Oslo; Dr. Valdis Bērziņš, University of Latvia

General information about being a doctoral student at the University of Gothenburg can be found on the university’s doctoral student pages. https://medarbetarportalen.gu.se/doktorand/?languageId=100001&skipSSOCheck=true

Subjects

The Department of Education and Special Education is recruiting five doctoral candidates in the research subjects of Education or Educational work. See more information about the subjects: https://www.gu.se/larande-ledarskap-halsa/var-forskarutbildning

Education is one subject in doctoral studies of educational research, focusing on educational issues in general, e.g., teaching, nurturing, socialization, formation, and learning. It has a special interest in the relationship between the individual and society and the conditions under which institutional conditions operate and have operated over time. Within the subject of Education, influence processes and their significance for the relationship between structure and agency, within and outside the formal education system, are also examined. Educational work is another subject in doctoral studies of educational research, dealing with various perspectives and aspects of work within educational institutions in society. Research in Educational work addresses issues pertinent to educational practices, professions, and activities. This includes conditions for teachers’ and students’ work with teaching and learning, both in practice and in relation to policy and educational reforms.

Several strong research environments at the Department of Education and Special and Special contribute to increased dynamics between research, education, and collaboration with society. These environments have their unique focus but all share a common commitment to educational issues (for more information, please see https://www.gu.se/pedagogik-specialpedagogik/forskningsmiljoer).

The Förutsättningar, Utbildning och Resultat (FUR) research environment focuses on classic educational questions within three main areas: individual prerequisites for education, the organization and resources of education, and the results of education at both individual and system levels. The research environment Lärande, undervisning och bedömning i språk (LUBS), with its focus on learning and assessment in language, works to integrate these aspects into both internal and external activities. This includes teacher education and collaboration with society outside academia. The Platform for Research in Inclusive education and School development (PRIS) aims to bring together special education issues with aspects of school development and leadership. The research environment Skolutveckling och Ledarskap (SKUL) concentrates on school development and leadership, with a special focus on what teachers and school leaders do to promote the development and learning of children and students. It also addresses how preschools and schools handle change and improvement processes. The research environment Kritiska teorier (KRIT) addresses research questions related to power, subjectivity, and resistance within educational institutions, and is grounded in a critical educational sociological tradition. This environment uses methods such as critical ethnography, policy studies, and narrative analysis to explore its themes. The research environment Pedagogy and Politics (POP) studies the political aspects of educational phenomena, linked to traditions within curriculum theory, comparative education, and analyses of educational processes and systems

Job assignments

The successful applicant will get a four-year employment as doctoral candidate and engage in doctoral studies at the Department of Education and Special Education. Guided by the supervisors, the doctoral candidate will formulate and accomplish a doctoral thesis (155 higher education credit points) and take courses at doctoral level (85 higher education credit points) in accordance with both a general and an individual study plan. During the doctoral period, the dissertation will be presented and discussed in seminars with invited discussants on at least three occasions. The doctoral student will be a member of a research environment at the Department. The department encourages and supports the dissemination of the dissertation at national and international conferences.

Doctoral education comprises four years of full-time study that leads to a doctoral degree. As part of the employment, you may do departmental duties for to up to 20 % of full-time employment, which can be distributed throughout your study period. Departmental duties usually consist of teaching at undergraduate and advanced levels. They may also be research assistant or administrative work. The doctoral employment can thus be extended depending on the amount of time a doctoral candidate involves in the departmental duties.

Eligibility

To be eligible for admittance to doctoral studies in the research field of special education, conditions for both basic eligibility and special eligibility must be met. In addition, the applicant should be able to show that he/she has the necessary ability to complete the education.

The general eligibility requirements for doctoral studies in Education sciences are:

having completed a degree at Master level, or the fulfilment of course requirements with a total of at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits must be at Master level, or the acquisition of equivalent knowledge in some other way, either in Sweden or abroad.

The specific entry requirements for the subject Education, according to the general syllabus, are:

At least 90 higher education credits in Education, of which at least 30 credits must be completed in the main field of study including an independent project of 15 credits. Anyone who in any other way within or outside the country has acquired equivalent knowledge is also eligible.

For special eligibility in the subject of Educational work, one of the following alternatives is required:

A) Teacher education at the advanced level, alternatively teacher education and an independent work (thesis) comprising at least 15 higher education credits at the advanced level.

B) At least 90 higher education credits, with a focus on educational professional activities or focus on child and youth activities, or equivalent, of which at least 30 higher education credits are at the advanced level, including an independent work (thesis) comprising at least 15 higher education credits.

Eligibility is also given to those who in some other way within or outside the country are deemed to have acquired equivalent knowledge

Assessment criteria

Applicants who meet the eligibility requirements will, according to the Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 7, be evaluated by experts and based on the evaluations of the subject’s relevance to the department and of the applicant’s ability to assimilate the doctoral program, a selection will be made by the admission committee.

The selection is based on the following assessment criteria:

quality in qualifying degree project (or equivalent document)
the quality of the submitted research plan

PhD scholarship at the Department of Psychology, University of Copenhagen (UCPH)

9. February 2024Social Sciences/EconomicsKUW

The Cognition, Intention, and Action (CoInAct) Research Group and Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Copenhagen (UCPH), Denmark, invites applications for a PhD position in experimental psychology to be filled by 1 August 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is for 3 years. Enrolment will be at the Faculty of Social Sciences under Copenhagen Graduate School of Social Sciences.

Information about CoInAct can be found at https://psychology.ku.dk/coinact/

Introduction
The PhD programme provides PhD students with strong research training which opens up a window of opportunity to a variety of careers within the private and public sectors. The programme includes the drafting of a PhD thesis, active participation in research networks, PhD courses, teaching, and other forms of knowledge dissemination. The PhD programme can be undertaken as a three-year full-time study within the framework of the 5+3 study programme, or as a four-year full-time study programme within the framework of the 4+4 study programme.

Duties and Responsibilities
Further information about the PhD study programme is available on the website of Copenhagen Graduate School of Social Sciences:

https://samf.ku.dk/phd-skolen/english/

Under "Legal basis" on the website you will find information about the rules and guidelines for the PhD programme and the Danish Ministerial Order on the PhD programme at the Universities.

Information about the PhD study programme is also available on the PhD website of the Department of Psychology: www.psy.ku.dk

Job content
The PhD student will be part of a project entitled Selection in Cognition funded by the Carlsberg Foundation and headed by Professor Søren Kyllingsbæk and Associate Professor Thor Grünbaum. Applicants are asked to situate and develop their research plan within the framework of the Selection in Cognition project.

The larger project develops and tests a new theory of basic cognitive selection mechanisms by combining methods and perspectives from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, mathematical modelling, and philosophy. The core idea is that selection in cognition may be understood as a biased competition between representations in a stochastic race (Grünbaum, Oren, & Kyllingsbæk, 2021). In a series of experiments, we have consistently shown that tasks-sets are competing biased by their importance and that this selection process is severely capacity limited. We will extend our new experimental procedures and mathematical models to the study of selection in planning and problem-solving. If our conjecture is true, higher-order cognitive processes like task selection, planning, and problem-solving depend on the same type of selection.

The applicant should be a student with a strong background and interest in experimental psychology. During the employment, the candidate is expected to engage in the development of new experimental procedures that will enable us to test our general theory of cognitive selection in the domains of task selection, planning, and problem-solving at both psychological and neurobiological levels. We aim to use our intention selection paradigm to study task-sets within and between complex hierarchies of task-sets. Focus will be on the development of experimental paradigms that will enable us to test our basic computational model of selection processes in planning and problem-solving.

The successful candidate will be working in close collaboration with cognitive psychologists and philosophers, and other cognitive scientists and should be interested in the development of new experimental paradigms, modelling, and theory development. The PhD student is expected to conduct new experimental research during the period of employment. It is expected that the successful candidate will be present, part of the team, and partake in the activities at CoInAct on a daily basis. The PhD student will be physically located at the Cognition and Neuropsychology research section https://psychology.ku.dk/research/sections/cognition-and-neuropsychology/, at the Department of Psychology, University of Copenhagen.

Qualification requirements
Emphasis will be placed on the following:

Experience in one or more of the following:
- Designing and conducting psychological experiments
- Statistical analyses of behavioural data
The applicant’s scientific record, e.g., publications in scientific journals within experimental and cognitive psychology
Previous experience with interdisciplinary collaboration and research
Good interpersonal skills
Excellent skills in English, written and spoken.

PhD students in Sociology (2)

9. February 2024Social Sciences/EconomicsSUW

The Department of Sociology is one of Stockholm University’s biggest social science departments and is continuously ranked among the top 50 sociology departments in the world. The Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI) is an internationally leading multi-disciplinary research institute with about 100 employees, its main research areas being social policy, welfare, inequality and the labour market. The PhD positions are located at the institute’s Social Policy unit.

Project description
The PhD positions are part of the research programme “Sustainable synergies”. The aim of the programme is to study how the welfare state can be developed to support a sustainable working life for everyone, based on both internationally comparative research and in-depth analyses of Sweden. In focus are the working-life transitions individuals make during their life-course. Specifically, the programme will examine how different combinations of social policies can support successful transitions for different groups in the labour market.

The PhD candidates’ research will be part of work packages dealing with either education or health. Both are important determinants of employment careers, and therefore of social inequality throughout the life course. Of special interest are the ways in which policies related to education and healthcare are related to other policies within the same or other policy areas. Together with senior colleagues, the PhD candidates will work on these issues using quantitative research methods and different types of data, from single or multiple countries and individual- and/or country-level data.

The qualification requirements must be met by the deadline for applications.

Selection
The selection among the eligible candidates will be based on their capacity to benefit from the training. The following criteria will be used to assess this capacity: i) the quality of the candidates’ education, ii) earlier publications and other scientific qualifications, and iii) the originality, feasibility and potential sociological contribution of the research plan for the PhD thesis. The assessment will be based on courses and grades, degree projects/theses, references, relevant experience, the research plan for the PhD thesis, and interviews.

Admission Regulations for Doctoral Studies at Stockholm University are available at: www.su.se/rules and regulations.

Terms of employment
Only a person who will be or has already been admitted to a third-cycle programme may be appointed to a doctoral studentship.

Doctoral students should primarily devote themselves to their own education, but may engage in teaching, research, and administration corresponding to a maximum of 20 % of a full-time position.

Please note that admission decisions cannot be appealed.

Stockholm University strives to be a workplace free from discrimination and with equal opportunities for all.

Project description

We are looking for a doctoral student who will work on a project entitled: “Re-wiring the brain: examining the dynamics of rapid brain plasticity with high-resolution MRI”.

Motor skill learning is a widely used model of skill learning, able to induce morphological modifications in the human brain. These include changes in circuit connectivity, synaptic strength, and neuronal excitability. The nature and timescale of these changes are still elusive, partly because of an incomplete understanding of the underlying circuitry in the human brain. Mounting evidence suggests that structural brain plasticity may manifest much faster than previously believed, and changes in the volume of grey matter may occur on a timescale of minutes.

The announced PhD positionfocuses on using structural and functional MRI at 7 Tesla, to investigate the time-course, maintenance, and individual predictors of brain plasticity when learning a new motor task.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Middle Stone Age African Archaeology

4. February 2024Social Sciences/EconomicsUiBW

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Middle Stone Age African Archaeology

UiB – Knowledge that shapes society

Through robust and close interaction with the world around us – globally, nationally and locally – we shall be instrumental in building a society based on knowledge, skills and attitudes.

Do you want to take part in shaping the future?

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Middle Stone Age African Archaeology at the Department of Archaeology, History, Cultural and Religious Studies

The Department of Archaeology, History, Cultural Studies and Religion invites applications for a three-year postdoctoral position in Middle Stone Age African Archaeology, starting April 1st 2024 or as agreed upon. The position is for a fixed-term period of three years.

The position is part of the Centre for Early Sapiens Behaviour (SapienCE), a Centre of Excellence funded by the Norwegian Research Council.

SapienCE focuses on the behavioural origins of Homo sapiens in southern Africa between 120,000-50,000 years ago. The core research within the Centre is led by the Leader Group comprising Principal Investigators and the Director. Our interdisciplinary team of scientists at the University of Bergen and the facilities of our national and international partners integrate records of early human cultural, social, technological and subsistence behaviours with innovative geoarchaeological, climate and cognitive data and models. This holistic approach provides ground-breaking insight into the diverse aspects of what it means to be human.

About the postdoctoral position

The position as a postdoctoral research fellow is a fixed-term appointment for three years, with the primary objective of qualifying the appointee for work in top academic positions. The successful applicant shall prepare a plan for qualifying for top academic positions in cooperation with the Head of Department. It is a requirement that the postdoctoral project is completed during the period of employment.

Candidates cannot be employed as a postdoctoral fellow for more than one fixed term period at the same institution. The successful applicant will be expected to conform to the regulations that apply to the position and must accept that their primary residence will be in Bergen for the full term of the appointment.

The successful applicant’s research project will synthesise and integrate SapienCE archaeological data with those from our climate and cognition research groups to construct a publishable data-driven and theoretically grounded narrative on the development of modern human behaviour. One of the most important tasks of the postdoctoral researcher will be to compare and contextualise the SapienCE data within similar developments elsewhere in Africa and the world. To achieve this task, the successful candidate will collaborate with SapienCE scientists from all relevant fields and will have access to SapienCE archaeological data and materials, most of which are stored in South Africa (Cape Town). Although the ideal applicant will have a technical specialisation of their own, the ability to step outside subject-specific debates and generate a broader, more synthetic narrative of changes during the MSA is critical. Field research or other primary data collection will be possible where necessary, but this position is intended to focus on utilizing SapienCE’s existing data and collections in combination with published datasets.

Qualifications and personal qualities:

The applicant must hold a Norwegian PhD or an equivalent foreign degree in archaeology or relevant discipline (anthropology, geoarchaeology, or similar). The doctoral dissertation must have been submitted for evaluation before the closing date of the application. The PhD degree must be obtained prior to appointment.
The applicant must provide a project proposal within the described research field, including a progress plan for the project’s main activities, and a plan for publishing results in recognized international channels.
The applicant must be able to travel in Europe and Africa to collaborate with researchers at SapienCE affiliated institutions and elsewhere.
The applicant should be willing to engage with researchers from different disciplines and be enthusiastic about collaborating on the production of multi-disciplinary publications.
The applicant must be able to work independently in a well-structured way and have good cooperation skills.
Applicants must have a good command of English.

In the assessment, the main emphasis will be placed upon the quality of the proposed project, the applicant’s academic qualifications and the feasibility of the project.

In cases where applicants have approximately equivalent qualifications, motivation and the applicant’s personal eligibility will be taken into account. We will further consider the following criteria:

Experience with multiple MSA archaeological projects in Africa.
Publication record that demonstrates the ability to integrate data across disciplines in a manner consistent with archaeological theory.
Strength and breadth of the publication record.
Experience working within multidisciplinary international research teams.

We can offer:

A thriving and professionally stimulating work environment.
A gross annual salary of NOK 615 700 (code 1352), equal to pay grade 63 in the state salary scale, following ordinary meriting regulations. Further salary advancement will depend on seniority in the position.
Enrolment in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund.
A position in an inclusive workplace (IA) enterprise.
Good welfare benefits.

How to apply:

Applications must be sent electronically via the link on this site “APPLY FOR THIS JOB”. The applicant must use the electronic CV form. The application must include:

A brief account of the applicant’s research interests and motivation for applying for the position.
A summary of the proposed project (up to five pages/12.000 characters, excluding the bibliography).
A progress plan for the proposed project, and a plan for publishing results in recognized international channels.
Bibliography for the proposed project.
Full list of any scientific work (publication list).
Up to five academic works (may include theses, monographs and articles) that are to be given special consideration in the assessment of your academic qualifications.
A short summary of the PhD-thesis (up to three pages).
CV.
Transcripts and diplomas showing completion of the bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and diploma for the PhD or documentation showing that the thesis has been submitted for assessment.

Doctoral student in sociology, within the project "Just Transitions in Agri-Food Systems: Environmental and Political-Economic Transformations in Rural Areas"

2. February 2024Social Sciences/EconomicsUniversity of GothenburgW

Ref PAR 2023/1390

In sociology, the social interaction between people is at the center as well as societal patterns or structures. The Department of Sociology and Work Science has about 120 employed, teachers, researchers, PhD-students and administrative staff. The Department carries out research, education and collaboration in a number of areas. There is research in areas like labor market, working life, social deviation, digitalization, emotions, gender, migration, environmental issues, social movements, governance and organization, science and technology as well as welfare. Courses are offered in a range of fields such as sociology, work science, human resource management, criminology and social psychology. The Department also has extensive commitment to several of the University’s educational programs, particularly in teacher education. Collaboration and development projects are conducted both in research and education with partners in the private and public sector for example the Centre for Global Human Resource Management (CGHRM).

General information about being a doctoral student at the University of Gothenburg can be found on the university’s doctoral student pages.

https://medarbetarportalen.gu.se/doktorand/?languageId=100001&skipSSOCheck=true

The department of sociology and work science is now searching for a highly motivated doctoral student (PhD-student) to work within the research project “Just Transitions in Agri-Food Systems: Environmental and Political-Economic Transformations in Rural Areas” (PI – Stefano B. Longo).

Project description

The successful applicant will take part in a research project that will investigate the role(s) of agri-food systems in sustainable transformations for climate action. It will focus on rural regions in industrialized societies experiencing economic challenges and climate change-related events, but also environmental-transition policies and actions. Underlying the project is a hypothesis that just transitions can function as a fruitful analytical approach to identify meaningful obstacles to implementing sustainable transformations of agri-food systems, and political-economic mechanisms and conditions that can encourage them. The project will empirically explore these matters in two industrialized countries: Sweden and the US. The successful applicant will focus on the Sweden case. Concentrating on producers and production, the study will identify ecological and social contextual factors that condition the potential for sustainability transformations. The project will make use of historical materialist and critical realist perspectives in environmental sociology and/or critical human ecology to analyze these concerns.

Duties

The aim of the doctoral studentship is for the doctoral student to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to be able to conduct research autonomously within sociology and to contribute to the development of knowledge within the discipline through the production of a scholarly thesis. Another aim for the doctoral student is to develop an ability to apply the acquired knowledge and skills within post-degree research or other professional work.

Education at third-cycle level comprises four years of full-time study, and leads to a doctoral degree. 

As part of your employment as a doctoral student, you may have departmental duties corresponding to up to 20 % of full-time employment, distributed throughout your study period. Departmental duties usually consist of teaching at first- and second-cycle levels, but may also include research and administration.

The appointed doctoral student shall be present at the Department and actively participate in research and educational activities.

Eligibility

Education at third-cycle level requires general eligibility and, where appropriate, specific eligibility as set out in the general syllabus for the subject.

The general eligibility requirements for education at third-cycle level are:

having completed a degree at second-cycle level, or
2. the fulfilment of course requirements totalling at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits must be at second-cycle level, or
the acquisition of equivalent knowledge in some other way, either in Sweden or abroad.

Specific entry requirements for this subject, according to the general syllabus, are: 1) a degree at the advanced level in sociology or 2) largely equivalent knowledge, aquired in Sweden or abroad, will also be considered to meet specific entry requirements.

Assessment criteria

The selection of applicants who meet the basic and specific eligibility requirements will be based on the ability to assimilate the education at third-cycle level.

To this end, applicants must submit the following documents:
-Papers, degree projects and other relevant works (maximum two works), which will be assessed on in terms of ability to formulate scientific problem and purpose, previous research and choice of theoretical perspectives, methodology and implementation, theory integration in the analysis, interpretation and conclusions as well as academic and linguistic presentation. In the case of co-authored texts, an account of the division of labor must be provided.

-A hypothetical project proposal (maximum 2000 words excluding references) demonstrating the applicant’s intended contributions toward the successful development of the broader research project. The proposal must demonstrate familiarity with previous and current research, sources, and methods of relevance for the study, and an ability to formulate scientific problems in line with the research project.

As postgraduate studies in sociology are very demanding, the applicant must be strongly motivated and have the ability to work independently within given time frames. Good co-operation and communication skills are also a requirement, as well as good knowledge of English in both speech and writing.

In order to be able to carry out planned empirical collection, the applicant must have a very good ability to communicate in Swedish in speech and writing.

Letters of recommendation are not taken into account, but references to, for example, previous employers can advantageously be stated in the application.

Employment

Once you have been admitted for education at third-cycle level, you will be employed as a doctoral student at the University of Gothenburg.

PhD scholarship at the Department of International Economics, Government and Business, CBS

27. January 2024Social Sciences/EconomicsCBSW

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for PhD scholarships at the Department of International Economics, Government and Business (EGB).

The expected starting date is September 1, 2024 (negotiable).

EGB is a multidisciplinary department that conducts high-quality research in the fields of international business and political science / analysis that has direct relevance to business, decision-makers and the broader public whilst also addressing contemporary societal challenges. EGB is currently seeking research proposals that address ONE of the following:

populism and nationalism and their impact upon international business
intergovernmental organizations such as the World Trade Organisation and their impact on international business
the impact of law, regulations and directives on Global Value Chains and MNEs

Applicants should submit a research proposal that identifies a topic and research question(s) within these broad subject areas, (please see below for guidance on the way in which the proposal should be structured.)

EGB faculty apply advanced quantitative and qualitative methods. To learn more about the research and teaching profile of the department, please visit the departmental homepage here. You should also consult the EGB PhD page here.

The department’s PhD fellows will gain much from our research seminars and other activities. At the same time, applicants should consider the overall contribution that they themselves can make to the department’s research environment. They should also demonstrate relevant experience in higher education, business, and dissemination activities.

The three-year PhD programme at CBS gives candidates the opportunity to conduct research under the supervision of CBS faculty, supported by research-related PhD courses. The programme is highly international, and you will be expected to participate in international research conferences and research visits abroad. Applicants should also be ready to undertake teaching activities. See the CBS homepage for more information about the PhD programme, http://uk.cbs.dk/phd

CBS PhD graduates are not only highly regarded in higher education and research institutions but also in government and business where their research qualifications are in increasing demand. Recent EGB graduates have secured positions in leading universities, consultancies and government agencies.
