The University of Bergen invites applications for a 4-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Faculty of Humanities, beginning in autumn 2018.

The call is connected to the establishment of a knowledge cluster in Medieval studies, as part of UiB’s strategy for 2016-2022. The Medieval research cluster will be an arena for collaboration between the academic environment at UiB and external partners connected to research, education, tourist industry, conservation and public administration.

The postdoctoral research project must be within the field of medieval studies, and relate to one of the relevant disciplines at the Faculty for Humanities, such as Archaeology, Art History, Comparative Literature, Classical philology (Greek or Latin), Cultural studies, History, Old Norse philology, Philosophy, Study of Religions and Theatre Studies.

Applicants must hold a Norwegian PhD or equivalent degree, or must have submitted the doctoral thesis for assessment prior to the application deadline. It is a condition of employment that the PhD has been awarded before appointment can take place.
