PhD Fellowship in Archaeology - 3 positions (ref 205342)

The Department of Archaeology is managing Norway's largest collections of Nordic antiquities, medieval art and runic inscriptions and is responsible for the management of cultural monuments and rock art in five counties in southeastern Norway, according to the Cultural Heritage Act. Each year, the Department carries out about 50-60 excavations. The Department of Archaeology has a staff of 60 archeaologists and expertise in most archaeological periods and subject matters and with a particularly large research environment in Mesolithic and Viking Age archaeology.

We seek candidates with the potential to mobilize the museum's collections and use material from management excavations in their research, while at the same time aiming at methodological and theoretical sophistication. The ability for a broad and innovative academic scope will be accentuated in the evaluation of the candidates. The museum’s collections and research expertise imply that interdisciplinary questions of heritage, innovation and landscape in crisis are natural target areas: https://www.khm.uio.no/english/research/strategies/index.html
