FURTHER INFORMATION:
The Department of Economics is one of the largest environments of economic research in Norway and has approximately 70 employees. The Department has approximately 700 programme students, about half of whom in graduate studies. The Department offers a Bachelor’s programme, a two-year Master’s programme and a five-year Master’s programme in Economics, and a two-year Master’s programme in Environmental and Development Economics. The Department also has a doctoral programme in which approximately 40 candidates are enrolled.
Appointments to post-doctoral posts are primarily intended to qualify candidates for work in senior academic posts. Post-doctoral posts are fixed-term appointments and are for periods of up to four years. Some teaching and administrative work will be required.
A doctoral degree must be completed before the position can be taken up. Candidates who have submitted their doctoral dissertations for evaluation at a Norwegian educational institution before the closing date for applications, may also apply. For candidates for doctoral degrees at foreign institutions, the corresponding requirement is that all requirements for the doctoral degree are expected to be completed and accepted within five months after the closing date. A confirmation of this from the institution, as well as the current version of the dissertation, should accompany the application.
Applicants must submit a project description and progress plan (2-4 pages) for the work to be undertaken during the course of the term of appointment.
The application must also contain comprehensive information on qualifications, former posts, pedagogical experience and competence, administrative experience and, if applicable, other qualifying activities, a complete list of publications and up to ten research papers. As a general rule, interviews are used in the appointment process.
The University of Oslo is seeking more women in scientific positions. Women are therefore encouraged to apply.
