Postdoctoral Research Fellow in The Nordic Education Model (NordEd)

Job description

Applications are invited for a 3-year position as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (SKO 1352) as part of the research project NordEd. The candidate will be part of the HumStud research group at Department of Education (IPED), UiO, as well as an international network, and will be given the opportunity to work with researchers across the world. NordEd is a multidisciplinary research group at the University of Oslo, and part of UiO:Nordic, an interfaculty priority area at the University based on a broad range of expertise and strong research interests at UiO.

The four pillars of the NordEd project are: 1) Conflicting traditions, ideals, and concepts of knowledge in the Nordic countries’ educational policies, pedagogies, and practices; 2) Curricular struggles and developments in Nordic schooling; 3) The emergence of Nordic teacher cultures and teacher education; And 4) Nordic schooling and beyond: Transnationalpolicy agendas and the renegotiation of the Nordic model of education.

The Postdoctoral Research Fellow is connected to Pillar 2 of the NordEd: Curricular struggles and developments in Nordic schooling. For more information, please also see the description of the NordEd project.

The project proposal must have a connection to pillar 2 that includes historical, comparative and/or didactic research on school subjects and curriculum trajectories. In particular proposals are welcomed that include comparisons of curriculum issues and school subjects over a longer time span in two or more Nordic countries. A suggested approach will be to follow specific school subjects from their initial formulations in didactics and curriculum policies to their realisation in actual curriculum developments and practical arenas of implementation.
