The Faculty of Humanities at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology invites applications for up to six scientific PhD-positions. The employment will be for a period of three years without required duties, however required duties such as teaching may be considered added to some of the positions depending on the Department’s needs.

The successful applicants must commit to completing their PhD studies within the period of employment. The Faculty of Humanities hosts four PhD-programmes aimed towards the scientific PhD-degree: Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture, Humanities and the Arts, Language and Linguistics, and Historical and Cultural Studies. Strategic considerations and academic relevance will also be an important part of the selection process. Applicants must therefore align their application with one of the Faculty’s research groups/networks. You can find the groups included in the announcement on our web site. Applications that are not connected to one of these groups, will not be assessed.

The applicant must account for how the project can be related to the relevant research group/network and the activity at the Department. Applicants must have been in contact with the research group/network prior to submitting the application. Applicants are encouraged to get in touch with relevant academic staff early in the process. The intended main supervisor must be employed at one of the Faculty’s departments and be part of the relevant research group/network. Supervisors are required to satisfy the requirements for supervising at the PhD-level.
