Δημοσίευση: 08-03-2023 20:28 | Προβολές: 497

A Doctoral Research Fellowship (SKO 1017) in History is available at the Department of Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History (IAKH), University of Oslo.

The position is associated with the Research Group "History of Capitalism" , which offers exceptional opportunities to study the early modern and modern history of Europe in the world.

Prospective applicants should submit a project proposal relevant for the research group and with a clear set of questions related to interrelation between capitalism, technology, and narratives of progress. One might consider, for instance, forms of resistance against the emergence of new technologies (such as the printing press, clocks, cars, etc.), the history of firms and corporate governance, or issues related to intellectual property law, formal and practical education (such as access to education systems and links between education and technological change), or infrastructural projects. Other topics are welcome, depending on the applicant's capabilities and interests. The geographic scope is open; however, applicants are asked to clearly state in their project proposal (3 to 5 pages) why they have chosen a particular approach and case study as well as the location of the sources they intend to use.

The History of Capitalism group currently hosts a NFR project about educational opportunities in Scandinavia, as well as two ERC projects on the history of intellectual property, one on the history of the creative industries and one on the history of copyright. Applicants will be given the opportunity to join these projects. There is a possibility for joint supervision as well. 

Qualification requirements

  • A Master's degree or equivalent in history, law, economics, or any other relevant discipline. The Master's degree must have been obtained and the final evaluation must be available by the application deadline.
  • Fluent oral and written communication skills in English, see Language requirements
  • Excellent reading knowledge of the source languages relevant for the project.
  • Personal suitability and motivation for the position.

To be eligible for admission to the doctoral programmes at the University of Oslo, applicants must, as a minimum, have completed a five-year graduation course (Master’s degree or equivalent), including a Master’s thesis of at least 30 ECTS. In special cases, the Faculty may grant admission on the basis of a one-year Master course following an assessment of the study programme’s scope and quality.

In assessing the applications, special emphasis will be placed on:

  • The project's scientific merit, research-related relevance and innovation
  • The applicant's estimated academic and personal ability to complete the project within the time frame
  • The applicant's ability to complete research training
  • Good collaboration skills and an ability to join interdisciplinary academic communities
  • Applicants who have recently graduated with excellent results may be given preference.
