Doctoral Research Fellowships in Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo
Two Ph. D. fellowships in social anthropology are vacant at the Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo.
The positions form part of Prof. Thomas Hylland Eriksen's ERC funded research project "Overheating: The Three Crises of Globalisation". The successful applicants will form part of a research group comprising at least six researchers, working comparatively and ethnographically on local responses to economic, environmental and cultural crises in five different countries. The countries will be selected with a view to cover broad structural variation in the articulation between global forces and local responses. Each researcher will carry out fieldwork and analyse material from one country. A documented interest in the anthropology of globalisation is essential. Applicants must have native or near-native competence in a Scandinavian language or English.
The appointments are for a duration of four years including one year of project work, such as teaching, organising workshops and conferences, and facilitating publications in the "Overheating" group.
