Job descriptionTwo positions as Researchers are available at the Section for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Department of Biosciences.Each position is for a period of 3 years, and is available from 1.5.2020 (if desirable, the starting date may be postponed until no later than 1.10.2020).The candidates will work in the group of prof. Pål Falnes on a project funded by the Norwegian Cancer Society. The group focuses on unravelling the function of human methyltransferases, and on understanding the functional consequence of methylation in processes such as gene regulation, protein synthesis, and energy metabolism.The current project is based on our discovery of a novel methyltransferase that targets the cellular protein synthesis machinery (PMID: 30143613), and has been strongly implicated in cancer growth and metastasis (PMID: 30612740). The project is a collaborative effort between several leading groups nationally and internationally. It will be studied how the novel methyltransferase modulates protein synthesis and cancer growth, and it will be investigated how the corresponding methylations vary in tumour samples. Also, it will be sought to identify compounds that specifically inhibit the methyltransferase (and thus may have potential as future anti-cancer drugs).We are seeking two highly motivated and skilled researchers with broad and extensive experience.Qualification requirementsThe Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition is to be among Europe's leading communities for research, education and innovation. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.Applicants must hold a degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in molecular biology, biochemistry or cell biology.

Job descriptionApplications are invited for a 4 year position in a Research Fellowship as a PhD Candidate in Comparative Genomics to be based at the Natural History Museum, University of Oslo.The purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree. The fellowship requires admission to the PhD program at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Appointment to a research fellowship is conditional upon admission to the Faculty's research training program. A plan for the research training must be submitted no later than two months after taking up the position, and the admission approved within three months.Compulsory service, duty work, shall represent 25% of the total hours of work.More about the positionThe subject of the PhD project will part of the recently founded RCN-project "InvertOmics - Phylogeny and evolution of lophotrochozoan invertebrates based on genomic data". The origin and evolution of Bilateria is controversially discussed in several biological disciplines such as systematics or evolutionary developmental biology. In one hypothesis, evolution in Bilateria advances from a simple body organization similar to flatworms towards more complex forms several times independently. In the other one, the evolution progresses in the opposite direction from a complex ancestor more like an annelid to simple organizations by several separate reductions. Support for one or the other depends on the phylogeny and evolution of Lophotrochozoa, one of the major bilaterian taxa, but a robust phylogeny is still lacking despite recent phylogenomic studies. This is due to both low coverage by genomic data and misleading biases in data of lophotrochozoan taxa. In this project, high-quality reference genomes shall be generated and new procedures to both ameliorate negative effects of biases and establish a new support measurement, which is entirely different from all recent support measurements. Due to both the large genomic dataset and these thorough analyses, a robust phylogeny of Lophotrochozoa shall be provided allowing contributions to discussions about the origin and evolution of Bilateria as well as of lophotrochozoan taxa and character traits.The aim of this PhD project as part of InvertOmics is to concentrate on the problem of reconstructing the phylogeny of Lophotrochozoa from the data side. Therefore, new high-quality genomes for 50 lophotrochozoan species covering all 16 lophotrochozoan phyla shall be generated. Modern genome sequencing strategies combining long and short reads will be employed. As several lophotrochozoan species have very small body sizes (< 500 ?m length) this is challenging, but existing protocols for single-cell genomics shall be optimized for single small-sized individuals collected from natural populations as part of the project. These data together with publicly available genomes will be used to reconstruct the phylogeny of Lophotrochozoa and address possible biases in the dataset using newly developed approaches as part of this project (see the accompanying advertisement for a PostDoc position). The phylogenetic reconstructions will be used to trace the evolution of different character traits within Lophotrochozoa and Bilateria, which also take into account the uncertainty of relationships. Therefore, modern macro-evolutionary tools to reconstruct ancestral states will be used.The Natural History Museum has a modern DNA laboratory as well as access to the Norwegian Supercomputer facilities. The PhD will be associated with the research group "Frontiers in Evolutionary Zoology", specifically Torsten Struck (Professor of Evolutionary Genomics).Qualification requirementsApplicants must hold a Master's degree or equivalent in biology or related disciplines like bioinformatics.A good command of English is required.We seek a person with strong motivation for research in genomics.The candidate must be skilled in general molecular laboratory practices.Experience with next-generation sequencing of genomes is required and working with small amounts of tissue material (i.e., whole genome amplification) is preferable.Computing skills and background in bioinformatics to assemble and annotate genomes are expected.Evaluation of the application In assessing applications, particular emphasis will be placed upon the academic and personal ability of the candidate to complete the project within the given timeframe and write a PhD thesis under supervision. Interviews with selected candidates will be arranged.

Job descriptionPosition as PhD Research Fellow in semiconductor physics available at Department of Physics/Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology, as part of the project GO2DEVICE (Novel (M,Ga)2O3 thin films for two-dimensional electron gas devices).No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo. The starting date is no later than 31.08.2020.The fellowship period is 3 years with reservations for external founding.More about the positionThe fellowship is based at the Semiconductor Physics Group and associated with the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN). It is part of the GO2DEVICE project, lead by SINTEF, which aims to develop new devices for use in power electronics (PE) based on novel (M,Ga)2O3 thin film heterostructures.PE play an important role in the collection, delivery and storage of energy, and is a key enabler for energy efficiency, renewable energy and smart grids. Wide bandgap semiconductors can provide components that are faster, smaller and more energy efficient than Si-based technology, permitting devices capable of operating at higher voltages, frequencies and temperatures and/or in harsh environments. At present, SiC and GaN are the most mature candidates, while the even wider bandgap semiconductor gallium oxide (Ga2O3) attracts R&D interest due to its ultra-high breakdown field (~twice that of gallium nitride).The GO2DEVICE project will focus on the less explored kappa-phase of Ga2O3. The kappa-phase has been predicted to exhibit large spontaneous polarization, suggesting that interface-localized two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) can be achieved in substantial concentrations. By partially replacing gallium with indium and aluminium, precise tailoring of the materials properties will be pursued, towards fabrication of a so-called high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT). To accomplish a working prototype, close control of structural and electronic properties is of paramount importance. In the GO2DEVICE project, advanced materials characterization and modeling will provide feedback to the materials synthesis in a close international collaboration. The project will encompass both fundamental material and defect properties, as well as device fabrication and characterization. The PhD position will have a specific emphasis on electrical properties.Qualification requirementsThe Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition is to be among Europe's leading communities for research, education and innovation. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.Master's degree or equivalent in semiconductor physics, with a solid background in semiconductor materials, processing and characterization, and materials physics in general. Foreign completed degree (M.Sc.-level) corresponding to a minimum of four years in the Norwegian educational system.Experience with electrical characterization of semiconductors, from conventional CV, IV and Hall effect measurements to spectroscopic techniques like DLTS will be positively evaluated.Fluent oral and written communication skills in English are a prerequisite.Grade requirements:The norm is as follows:the average grade point for courses included in the Bachelor's degree must be C or better in the Norwegian educational systemthe average grade point for courses included in the Master's degree must be B or better in the Norwegian educational systemthe Master's thesis must have the grade B or better in the Norwegian educational systemhttp://www.mn.uio.no/english/research/phd/application/application.htmlThe purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree.The fellowship requires admission to the PhD programme at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Job descriptionA 3-year full time postdoctoral research fellow position, position code 1352 to study tuberculosis (TB) and the search for novel drug targets, is available in the Genome Dynamics (GD) group, Department of Microbiology, Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo (UiO). The candidate will be part of a collaborative project between the GD group and Institute of Basic Medicine, UiO, and Institute of Pharmacy, UiO, as well as an international JPI-AMR collaboration. Second announcement.More about the positionThe Genome Dynamics (GD) group at the UiO has performed frontline research in molecular microbiology for the past 20 years and is currently part of the research network Turning the Tide of Antimicrobial resistance (TTA). The group collaborates intimately with scientists and clinicians at Oslo University Hospital, where the PI is the head of the clinical tuberculosis (TB) lab and has unique access to clinical materials. The GD group studies bacterial protein structure and function in health and disease, including TB.GD research involves delineating evolution, genome maintenance and bioenergetics in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the cause of TB. Our discoveries on short-term and long-term evolution in M. tuberculosis help explain the emerging antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Recently, we have addressed the occurrence and impact of post-translational modifications (PTMs) on M. tuberculosis physiology and AMR.In the current project, the consortium aims to address the challenge of drug resistance in M. tuberculosis. The background of the project is the discovery of potential drug candidates that have effect against M. tuberculosis under the host cellular stress that is induced under TB infection. These drug candidates also improve the function of known drugs. We aim to discover the mechanism of action of these drugs, optimizing the current leads and in the long term develop the leads into new treatments for TB. We also want discover how the new drugs work by delineating their mechanism of action using molecular biology, mutant analysis, transcriptional studies and proteomics.The GD group has recently demonstrated that M. tuberculosis cells are decorated with PTMs (see Birhanu AG et al J Proteome Res. 2017; Sci Rep 2018; JPR 2020). The new discoveries represent a paradigm shift in our understanding of the abundance and impact of M. tuberculosis PTMs. By directly building on that information, this part of the project aims to identify novel TB drugs and their mechanism of action and search for the presence and impact of PTMs on M. tuberculosis-related components and pathways.For more information on the GD group, please follow this link.The postdoctoral research fellowship candidate will be working at the University of Oslo and collaborate closely with fellow postdocs in mycobacteriology at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Medicine.

PhD-stillingen er knyttet til denne intervensjonsstudien av kvinnene og vil bidra til gjennomføring av intervensjonen og kapasitetsbygging blant kommunens ansatte.I Norge øker andelen med overvekt og fedme i befolkningen, med en betydelig sosial gradient. Kvinner fra enkelte ikke-vestlige innvandrergrupper er særlig utsatt, og har en forekomst av overvekt og fedme på over 80%. Overvekt og fedme er blant risiko faktorer som diabetes, hjerte- og karsykdommer og noen typer kreft. Innvandrere og flyktninger er underrepresenterte i dagens helsefremmende og forebyggende programmer og kommunens helsetjenester. Kulturelt skreddersydde og språkspesifikk forebyggende programmer, som også inkluderer brukermedvirkning, mangler i Norge i dag. Oslo kommune har i samarbeid med Universitetet i Oslo fått midler fra Norges forskningsråd og Norske Kvinners Sanitetsforening til å utvikle en langsiktig, innovativ, kulturelt skreddersydd og motiverende intervensjon blant innvandrerkvinner i Norge. Målet for denne intervensjonen er at deltakere skal bli mer fysisk aktive, mindre stillesittende, spise sunnere, og opprettholder disse endringene på sikt. For dette ble det etablert en prosjekt med representanter fra bydel Sagene og bydel gamle Oslo, kvinnelige medbrukere og en senior forsker fra Universitetet i Oslo (UiO). Det er behov for en doktorgradsstudent som vil være en del av studiegruppen og vil bidra til datainnsamling, analyse, publisering og andre daglige prosjektaktiviteter.Stipendiaten vil være en del av studiegruppen og vil gjennomføre datainnsamling, individuelle samtaler med kvinnene og bidra til andre daglige studieaktiviteter. Videre bidra til bedre oppfølging av deltakere som flytter ut fra bydelen, eller faller fra intervensjonsprogrammet av andre grunner. Stipendiaten vil være ansvar for innhenting av data om prosess og kostnads-effekt analyse. Stipendiaten vil analysere data, publisere artikler og presentere av resultatene, samt i samarbeid med brukerrepresentanter vil bidra til spredning av resultatene i relevante brukermiljø. Stipendiaten vil også bidra for å produsere manual, verktøy, skape et pakke-opplegg for implementering av intervensjonens verdiskapning og metode.Mer om stillingenTilsettingen gjelder for en periode på 3 år og prosjektet forventes ferdigstilt innenfor denne perioden.Tiltredelse fortrinnsvis 1.6.2020.Opptak til doktorgradsprogram er et vilkår for tiltredelse som stipendiat.

Om stillingen50% fast stilling som forsker (SKO 1109) fra 1. mai 2020. Stillingen er finansiert av ESA-prosjektet Cratering rates on Moon and Mars, som opphører 31.12.2020.Kandidaten vil bli assosiert med teamet Earth and Beyond, ledet av Stephanie Werner, og vil dermed bli integrert i et ungt, internasjonalt og multidisiplinært forskningsmiljø som jobber med planetær geologi, geofysikk, dynamikk og fjernanalyse.Mer om stillingenFor å forså utviklingen av planetene i vårt solsystem er det kritisk nødvendig å ha pålitelige estimater på tidsforhold og å kunne kvantifisere geologiske prosesser, som f.eks. vulkanisme. Absolutte tidsskalaer for utviklingen av planetære overflateprosesser i det indre delen av solsystemet, er utviklet fra relative aldersforhold av kratre på månen og kalibrert mot aldersbestemmelser av prøver som har blitt returnert fra månen. Mange aspekter av dette er imidlertid uutforsket, som kraterdannelsesprosesser og skalering mellom krater og prosjektil, samt korrelasjonen mellom kronologi på månen og de jordliknende planetene inkludert jorda selv.Den utvalgte kandidaten vil bruke, og utvikle eksisterende numeriske modeller for å simulere nedslagskratre på månen og på Mars. Dette vil få videre anvendelse på Jupiters måner, noe som forutsetter og krever en dokumentert interesse for planetære dynamiske prosesser.KvalifikasjonskravDet matematisk-naturvitenskapelige fakultets ambisjon er å være blant Europas ledende miljøer for forskning, utdanning og innovasjon. Kandidater vil bli valgt ut i tråd med denne ambisjonen, og er forventet å ligge i det øvre sjikt med hensyn på akademiske kvalifikasjoner.Personen som tilsettes vil jobbe med numerisk modellering av dynamiske prosesser, og spesielt med dannelse av nedslagskratre. Kandidaten må ha tidligere erfaring innen numerisk modellering av (geo)dynamiske prosesser, og må ha erfaring med bruk av koder innen sjokkfysikk for multi-materiale og multi-reologi (f.eks. iSALE). Erfaring i programmering (helst Fortran) og bruka v Unix/Linux operativsystem er en forutsetning. Kandidaten forventes å delta i, og lede an i skriving og publisering av vitenskapelige artikler der nye resultater blir rapportert.Absolutte krav:Det kreves doktorgrad eller grad tilsvarende en norsk doktorgrad (PhD) innenfor aktuelle fagområder.God fremstillingsevne skriftlig og muntlig på engelsk.Vi tilbyrLønn NOK 523 200 - 573100 kr pr. år avhengig av kompetanse/ansiennitet, i stilling som forsker (stillingskode 1109)Gode velferdsordninger i tillegg til et familie vennlig Oslo med mange muligheter for kultur og utendørs aktiviteterSøknaden skal inneholdeEn søknadstekst som begrunner interessen for stillingen, som gir en kort oppsummering av vitenskapelig bakgrunn og interesser, og som sannsynliggjør at du er personen vi etterspør.CV (med utdanningsbakgrunn, tidligere stillinger, og annen kvalifiserende erfaring)Kopi av utdannelsespapirer, oversettelse av karakter og anbefalelsesbrevEn komplett publikasjonslisteNavn og kontaktinfo på 2-3 referanser (navn, relasjon til kandidaten, e-post og telefonnummer)Søknad med vedlegg må sendes inn via vårt elektroniske rekrutteringssystem Jobbnorge.Ved utdanning utenfor Skandinavia ber vi om en forklaring på karaktersystemet.

Om stillinganeTo postdoktorstillingar (SKO 1352) er ledige ved Senter for fleirspråklegheit (MultiLing) ved Institutt for lingvistiske og nordiske studium (ILN), Universitetet i Oslo. Stillingane har oppstart i august 2020 og er finansierte av Noregs forskingsråd. Stillingane er del av eit av MultiLings forskarprosjekt som heiter Andrespråkskommunikasjon i arbeidslivet - om polske immigrantar i Noreg ('Second-language communication in workplace settings - the case of Polish migrants in Norway') (NorPol).MultiLing er eit Senter for framifrå forsking (SFF) finansiert av Noregs forskingsråd (2013-2023). MultiLing har som mål å auke kunnskapen om fleirspråklegheit i eit livslaupsperspektiv, knytt til tre overordna tema, tema 1: fleirspråkleg kompetanse, tema 2: fleirspråkleg praksis, og tema 3: fleirspråklegheit, ideologiar og språkpolitikk (for meir informasjon, sjå http://www.hf.uio.no/multiling/). Forskingsstrategiplanen for den andre femårsperioden til senteret finn de her.MultiLing søkjer postdoktorkandidatar med framifrå forskingskvalifikasjonar, som vil ha ei sentral rolle i prosjektet Andrespråkskommunikasjon i arbeidslivet - om polske immigrantar i Noreg (NorPol). Prosjektet trekkjer inn perspektiv frå alle dei tre overordna temaa ved MultiLing (sjå ovanfor), og både senior- og juniorforskarar er del av prosjektgruppa. NorPol undersøkjer sosiokulturelle, interaksjonelle og lingvistiske faktorar som høvesvis fremjar eller hemjar arbeidsplasskommunikasjon for polske arbeidstakarar i Noreg. Ei skildring av prosjektet finn de her.Det er forventa at søkjarane presenterer eit sjølvstendig forskingsprosjekt med relevans for det overordna NorPol-prosjektet. Særleg velkomne er prosjekt som undersøkjer korleis interaksjonelle faktorar påverkar felles forståing i andrespråkskommunikasjon, og prosjekt som undersøkjer rolla til grammatiske, leksikalske eller syntaktiske kjenneteikn ved språket til polske talarar av norsk som andrespråk. Andre prosjekt knytt til polsk-norsk arbeidsplasskommunikasjon vil òg bli vurderte. Det er forventa at den som vert tilsett, bidrar til datainnsamling. Erfaring frå feltarbeid og/eller datainnsamling på arbeidsplassar er derfor ein føremon.MultiLing nyttar nyskapande metodologiar og granskar kritisk omgrep og teoretiske tilnærmingar til forsking på fleirspråklegheit, slik det blir framheva i forskingsstrategiplanen.

Job descriptionA position as PhD Research Fellow in Experimental Heavy-Ion Physics is available at the Department of Physics.The PhD position is of 3 years duration. If the candidate has the necessary qualifications and based on the teaching need of the Department, the candidate can apply for an additional 25 % teaching duty resulting in a total length of the fellowship of 4 years.No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo.Starting date no later than 01.10.2020.More about the positionThe position is associated with the Norwegian ALICE project at CERN, funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The heavy-ion group of the Department of Physics participates in the ALICE experiment, which in 2021 will enter the third round of data taking with ultrarelativistic pp, Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (LHC Run-3), after comprehensive upgrades improving tracking performance and readout speed. During this run period, a huge gain (~ 100 ) in event statistics will enable precision measurements of rare probes like charm and beauty hadrons down to low transverse momentum and heavy flavour-tagged jets and their substructure, and provide access to numerous new physics observables. A crucial element in the realization of this physics programme is the development of software frameworks and efficient algorithms for handling the immense amounts of data expected during Run-3. In addition to physics analysis and related software development, the group is also involved in instrumentation activities associated with the ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS), in collaboration with the heavy-ion groups at the University of Bergen.The candidate is expected to contribute to the Norwegian ALICE activities within analysis (including dedicated software development) and interpretation of physics data taken with the ALICE detector during the early Run-3 part of the LHC programme.The Norwegian ALICE groups have extensive experience with charmonium physics and analysis in the di-electron decay channel, centered around the versatile probe J/? which is interesting not merely as a charmonium ground state but also as a major decay product of excited charmonia, beauty hadrons and exotic heavy quark states. Our primary scientific interest for the Run-3 period will be exhaustive quantitative studies of the in-medium behaviour of charm and beauty quarks, their energy loss, transport and thermalization plus their hadronization mechanism, by means of precision measurements of prompt and non-prompt J/? production, their correlations with hadrons plus the quenching and substructure of charmonium- and beauty-tagged jetsA potential specific topic for this PhD research project could be determining the modification of the differential production cross section for prompt and non-prompt J/? (and possibly also for exclusively reconstructed beauty mesons at low pT) in Pb-Pb relative to pp collisions, taking advantage of the high-statistics Pb-Pb data set expected in the fall of 2021. An important part of the PhD project would be contributions to the upgrade of existing physics analysis software to Run-3 standards as well as development of new features, implementing data skimming using fast reconstruction of secondary vertices and beauty tagging via non-prompt J/?.The candidate will be based in Oslo, but will be expected to spend some time participating in data taking and other ALICE activities at CERN.Information about the research at The Department of Physics is found on http://www.mn.uio.no/fysikk/english/research/groups/Qualification requirementsThe Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition is to be among Europe's leading communities for research, education and innovation.

Om stillingenDet juridiske fakultetet ved Universitetet i Oslo leder forskningsprosjektet Prisoner Health in Healthy Prisons: Punishment, marginalization, and access to welfare (PRISONHEALTH). Prosjektet er ledet av professor Thomas Ugelvik og finansiert av Norges forskningsråd. Prosjektet skal nå ansette en stipendiat i kriminologi med arbeidsplass på Institutt for kriminologi og rettssosiologi. Stipendiaten skal gjennomføre et delprosjekt i PRISONHEALTH, men også inngå i prosjektets tverrfaglige forskergruppe.Det juridiske fakultet i Oslo har Norges største forsknings- og undervisningsmiljø i rettsvitenskap.

Tilsetting for fire år forutsetter at kandidaten kan fylle et udekket undervisningsbehov ved fakultetet.Mer om stillingenPRISONHEALTH-prosjektet er et tverrfaglig prosjekt som handler om fengselsinnsattes helse. Det inkluderer forskere innen medisin, statistikk, sosiologi, rettsvitenskap og kriminologi. Stipendiaten vil inngå i en gruppe av forskere med ulik faglig bakgrunn som skal møtes jevnlig og arbeide tett sammen.Prosjektet fokuserer dels på leveringen av helsetjenester inn i fengsel, og dels på hvordan et fengsel i praksis kan utformes på en helsebringende måte. Forskning viser at en rekke fysiske og psykiske helseproblemer er mer vanlige blant innsatte enn i resten av befolkningen.Forskning tyder også på at et fengselsopphold i seg selv kan skape, bidra til eller forverre helseproblemer.Målet med PRISONHEALTH-prosjektet er å finne ut om velferdsstatens helsetjenester i praksis når frem til fengselsinnsatte som de skal. Vi vil studere de langsiktige effektene av helsetjenester i fengselet, både fra perspektivet til den enkelte innsatte og fra et samfunnsperspektiv. Vi vil finne ut om et fengsel kan, i noen tilfeller, være en arena for positiv og konstruktiv personlig endring og vekst.Dette ph.d-prosjektet skal utforske hva som kjennetegner sunne og helsebringende fengsler i praksis. Utgangspunktet vil være en bred definisjon av innsattes helse.I tillegg til helsetjenester i snever forstand vil andre sider av fengselstilværelsen også kunne være relevant, som for eksempel fengselets utforming og arkitektur, kosthold, trening, besøksordningen, annen kontakt med omverdenen og ulike andre tilbud.Delprosjektet forutsetter bruk av kvalitativ metode, herunder kvalitative intervjuer og etnografisk feltarbeid, derfor må reising påregnes i perioder.KvalifikasjonskravStipendiatstillingen er en utdanningsstilling og skal lede fram til en ph.d.-grad fra Universitetet i Oslo.

Job description2-3 Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1352) in Developmental Pragmatics are available at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, University of Oslo. The fellowships are associated with two different projects and the applications should address the specifics of these (particulars below). The projects will work towards the same overarching goal of providing new theoretical and empirical insights into pragmatic development and non-literal uses of language. Both projects are led by Ingrid Lossius Falkum and there will be a joint project team.Two 3-year positions are funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and associated with the project DEVCOM - The Developing Communicator: Pragmatics, Sense Conventions and Non-Literal Uses of Language (ERC StG no. 853211), led by Ingrid Lossius Falkum. DEVCOM aims to provide an account of the stages and factors involved in children's developing pragmatic competence with non-literal uses of language, focusing on both production and comprehension. DEVCOM investigates the hypothesis that children's growing sensitivity to sense conventions, which determine the publicly accepted meaning of words in their language, impedes their pragmatic reasoning with non-literal uses in the pre-school years. The empirical data will be gleaned from experimental studies with typically developing children and children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, using eye-tracking, elicitation and behavioral paradigms.One further 2.5-year position, with a possibility of extension, is funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN) and associated with the project Creativity and Convention in Pragmatic Development: Typical and Atypical Perspectives (FINNUT project no. 302083), led by Ingrid Lossius Falkum. The overarching framework is shared with DEVCOM but the project focuses more specifically on the atypical pragmatic development in Autism Spectrum Disorder.More about the positionThe research fellows will conduct experimental research in one of the following areas:The development of lexical innovation (typical and/or atypical), where speakers create new word forms from existing ones (e.g., denominal verbs, noun-noun compounds, metonymic uses)The development of lexical modulation (typical and/or atypical), cases where the speaker's communicated meaning involves an adjustment of the literal meaning (e.g., in the form of narrowing or broadening of conceptual content).Applicants should indicate the area chosen in their application. Project proposals should be framed within the overall framework of DEVCOM and/or Creativity and Convention in Pragmatic Development, and applicants should be familiar with the projects' contents and objectives. For more information about the projects, see the project websites. If you have any questions, please contact Principal Investigator Ingrid Lossius Falkum, i.l.falkum@ifikk.uio.no.The project group will have access to the Socio-Cognitive Laboratory of the Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing), located in the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies.

Job descriptionApplications are invited for two 40-months positions as Postdoctoral Fellow (SKO 1352) of Social Anthropology to be based at the Department of Social Anthropology. We are looking for candidates who have achieved a PhD degree no earlier than 2015. The positions will be part of the research project "PORTS". Ethnographic explorations of infrastructure, work, and place around leading container "ports", led by associate professor Elisabeth Schober, and funded by the European Research Council. http://sv.uio.no/portsThe interface between sea and city, i.e. the port, lends itself to explorations of the changing nature of global capitalism today. Container ports have often been pushed to the edges of the urban spaces that they used to be centrally located in. "Ports" is a study on the city/sea-nexus, which will illuminate the dynamics behind the ways in which the center of our economic system is currently on the move east-wards. This is not a uni-linear shift from "the West" to "the Rest", but rather, is brought into existence by the nature of the ever-changing interplay between local territorialization and global connectedness. "Ports" will therefore engage with local histories, unruly presents, and possible futures in four of the most important port-cities in the world: Singapore, Pusan (Korea), Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Piraeus (Greece). Through comparative work at these sites, it will clarify the changing nature of work, the significance of "place" as a site of accumulation and resistance, and the role of infrastructure for the inner workings of ports.Successful applicants will form part of a larger research environment focused on the maritime industry, comprising at least seven researchers (3 of whom work on the related project "Life-Cycle of Container Ships" - see uio.no/containerships). Each researcher will carry out fieldwork and analyse material collected in one port city, and will engage in a shorter research stay in another.Postdoctoral Fellow 1 (Rotterdam)Postdoctoral Fellow 1 will conduct 6-8 months of fieldwork in Rotterdam, with Piraeus as a secondary site to visit for app. 3 months. The remaining time should be spent in residence in Oslo, where the postdoc will also be involved in up to 1 semester of teaching and administrative work. The ideal candidate for the job will have a solid understanding of maritime anthropology and the anthropology of work, and will come with previous research experience working in this field. Additional language qualifications (e.g. knowledge of Dutch) are a benefit, enthusiasm for group-work a must.Postdoctoral Fellow 2 (Singapore)Postdoctoral Fellow 2 will conduct 6-8 months of fieldwork in Singapore, with Pusan as a secondary site to visit for app. 3 months. The remaining time should be spent in residence in Oslo, where the postdoc will also be involved in up to 1 semester of teaching and administrative work. The ideal candidate for the job will have a solid understanding of maritime anthropology and the anthropology of work, and will come with previous research experience working in this field. Additional language qualifications related to Singapore are a benefit, enthusiasm for group-work a must.More about the positionThe Department wishes to recruit candidates with excellent research qualifications within Social Anthropology. The applicants' proposed research should relate to one of the proposed positions (see below). The successful candidate is expected to strengthen this research area within the Department, and to contribute to and participate in other research activities at the Department as well.The appointments are fulltime positions for a period of 40 months, up to 10% of which can be devoted to administrative and teaching duties. The main purpose of the fellowship is to qualify researchers for work in higher academic positions within their disciplines.Qualification requirementsApplicants must hold a degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in Social Anthropology, or a closely related discipline (e.g. human geography or qualitative sociology). Doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the closing date. Appointment is dependent on the public defence of the doctoral thesis being approved. Applicants with a PhD earlier than 2015 will not be considered.Excellent oral and written communication skills in English is a must, and preferably a good knowledge of a local language where fieldwork will be conducted can be documented.In assessing the applications, special emphasis will be placed on the project description, as well as the applicant's academic and personal prerequisites to carry out the project.

The centre also contributes to the development of measurement competence through teaching and outreach and offers a Master of Science program in Measurement, Assessment and Evaluation. The centre is part of a broad international network and comprises about 25 employees from 10 countries.More about the positionThe PhD position is related to a joint project of CEMO and EQOP on the predictive validity of secondary school student's exam grades, teacher grades and standardized test results for long-term life outcomes. Many studies exist which examine the concurrent correlation of different types of student assessments or the short-term effects of school grades on university grades. In contrast, there is little research examining long-term effects of student achievement beyond university and even less research comparing the long-term predictive power of the most common ways to assess student achievement. An important reason for this lack of research is that it poses operational challenges with respect to data fusion, theoretical challenges with respect to deriving sound hypotheses, and methodological challenges with respect to statistical modelling. Furthermore, we would like to identify the actual causal impact student achievement (as assessed in the various ways) has on life outcomes (also assessed in various ways; see below) and disentangle this effect from students' socio-economic or educational conditions in early childhood.We welcome applications of candidates with a strong background in educational or psychological research/measurement. Norway has rich data sets that allow for a broad range of research questions, including examining consequences of different types of teacher and exam grades or test results (e.g., in different subjects, at different time points during schooling) for different types of long-term life outcomes (e.g., salary, type of job, health issues) while controlling for early childhood background (e.g., parents' education, years in kindergarten) with respect to different student groups (e.g., by gender, language background, regions or programs at VGS) or even with respect to changes over time (e.g., before or after a larger curriculum reform or professional development program).There are many collaboration opportunities available so that the successful candidate will become a member of a larger research group. CEMO has several research projects related to educational assessments in NorwayEQOP investigates causes and consequenses of social inequality in childreen`s school achivement using Norwegian register data.Mastery of the Norwegian language is not a prerequisite for applying, but is considered an advantage.Candidates are advised to read one or several of these papers in order to familiarize themselves with the topic of the position.

Job description1-2 Doctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1017) in Developmental Pragmatics are available at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, University of Oslo. The PhD positions are associated with two different projects and the applications should address the specifics of these (particulars below). The projects will work towards the same overarching goal of providing new theoretical and empirical insights into pragmatic development and non-literal uses of language. Both projects are led by Ingrid Lossius Falkum and there will be a joint project team.The Doctoral Research Fellowship funded by the Faculty of Humanities is associated with the ERC project DEVCOM - The Developing Communicator: Pragmatics, Sense Conventions and Non-Literal Uses of Language (ERC StG no. 853211), led by Ingrid Lossius Falkum. DEVCOM aims to provide an account of the stages and factors involved in children's developing pragmatic competence with non-literal uses of language, including 1) lexical innovation, 2) lexical modulation and 3) figurative language, focusing on both production and comprehension. DEVCOM investigates the hypothesis that children's growing sensitivity to sense conventions, which determine the publicly accepted meaning of words in their language, impedes their pragmatic reasoning with non-literal uses in the pre-school years. The empirical data will be gleaned from experimental studies using eye-tracking, elicitation and behavioral paradigms.The Doctoral Research Fellowship funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN) is associated with the project Creativity and Convention in Pragmatic Development: Typical and Atypical Perspectives (FINNUT project no. 302083), also led by Ingrid Lossius Falkum. The overarching framework is shared with DEVCOM but the project focuses more specifically on the atypical pragmatic development in Autism Spectrum Disorder and includes irony and implicature among its objects of study.The project team will have access to the Socio-Cognitive Laboratory of the Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing), located in the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies. MultiLing's Socio-Cognitive Laboratory has an eye-tracker, an EEG system, and a video studio https://www.hf.uio.no/multiling/english/topics/lab/.The candidates are expected to propose an individual research project closely related to one or more of the topics studied within the overall framework of DEVCOM and/or Creativity and Convention in Pragmatic Development, and applicants may expect to further develop their project with inputs from the research team if hired.More about the positionThe persons appointed will be affiliated with the Faculty's organized research training.
