Two PhD Research Fellowships in History of Ideas, within the field of Norwegian/Nordic intellectual history/history of ideas, are vacant in the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Arts and Ideas at the University of Oslo (UiO). The candidates will be affiliated with interdisciplinary research groups at the Faculty of the Humanities connected to the Nordic initiative at UiO. Applicants must present an independent project that lies within the areas of these research networks.

Preference may be given to applicants whose research projects are related to the following:
- The project “History and Histories in Eighteenth Century Denmark-Norway”;
- The research network “The protestant common culture of the Nordic countries (1520 – 1814)”;
- The research networks “Raising the Nordic Model Citizen”/“Nordic Childhoods”.

The successful candidates must participate in the research training program organized by the Faculty of Humanities (cf. regulations and supplementary provisions for the faculty’s researcher education) and must engage in the designated research activities on a full-time basis. The persons who are appointed will be enrolled in the Faculty’s organized researcher training.

The academic study will terminate in a doctoral thesis which will be defended at the Faculty of Humanities, leading to a PhD-degree. The successful candidates are expected to join the existing research milieus or networks and contribute to their development. The posts are available for a period of three years starting late autumn 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter. Currently, PhD fellows who successfully submit their thesis within the three year period are granted an additional fellowship year.
