PHD POSITION IN RELIGIOUS STUDIES

The position is affiliated to the research project “Indigenous religion(s): Local Grounds, Global Networks.”
The appointment is for a period of four years.
The PhD position is for a fixed term, with the objective of completion of research training to the level of a doctoral degree. Admission to a PhD programme is a prerequisite for appointment, and the programme period starts on commencement in the position. The PhD candidate shall participate in the Faculty´s organized research training, and the PhD project must be completed during the period of employment.
The successful candidate must meet the requirements for admission to the Faculty’s PhD program, cf. § 6 of UiT PhD regulations. Moreover, the applicant must prove English language proficiency equivalent to the standards of Norwegian Higher Education Entrance Qualification, see PhD Regulations UiT.
For more information, see also uit.no/hsl/phd.
For further information about the position, contact Professor Siv Ellen Kraft, tel. +47 77 64 43 90, email: siv.ellen.kraft@uit.no, or Professor Bjørn Ola Tafjord, tel. +47 77 64 52 89, email: bjorn.tafjord@uit.no
The position’s affiliation and the field of research
The Department of History and Religious Studies is one of six departments in the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education. The department has 17 permanent academic positions, of which 3 are in Religious Studies. The academic staff of the department teaches and gives supervision to students at all levels from bachelor to PhD. The department hosts eight different research groups.
The announced position is affiliated to the research project “Indigenous religion(s): Local Grounds, Global Networks” (INREL), which involves an international core group of seven senior scholars. The main objective of INREL is to study relations between local and global discourses on indigenous religion(s), through case studies from a variety of spaces and explorations of networks in an interconnected world.
The successful candidate will become a member of the INREL research group, and will develop her or his individual project in line with the main objectives, theoretical and methodological frameworks, and one or more of the thematic work packages of the INREL project.
She or he must propose a case study either of a Christian organization or network and its engagement with indigenous peoples and indigenous religion(s), or of an example of indigenous theology and the networks and practices in which it is situated. Christian organizations and networks, like the World Council of Churches, have played significant roles in the forming and working of the international indigenous peoples’ movement. Indigenous actors have indigenized their Christianity, in some cases taken control over churches, and some have developed indigenous theologies through which they now articulate alternative ways of linking indigenous religion(s) and Christianity. At the same time, in their mission activities, Christian organizations and networks continue to target indigenous peoples and indigenous religion(s) especially.
Knowledge of relevant languages is required. The successful candidate will be encouraged to spend one term abroad at one of our partner institutions (see list here), and may include such plans in the proposal.

Remuneration for the position of PhD candidate is in accordance with the State salary scale code 1017 (for the time being 444,700 NOK a year). A compulsory contribution of 2 % to the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund will be deducted.

The position’s affiliation and the field of research
The Department of History and Religious Studies is one of six departments in the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education. The department has 17 permanent academic positions, of which 3 are in Religious Studies. The academic staff of the department teaches and gives supervision to students at all levels from bachelor to PhD. The department hosts eight different research groups.
The announced position is affiliated to the research project “Indigenous religion(s): Local Grounds, Global Networks” (INREL), which involves an international core group of seven senior scholars. The main objective of INREL is to study relations between local and global discourses on indigenous religion(s), through case studies from a variety of spaces and explorations of networks in an interconnected world.
The successful candidate will become a member of the INREL research group, and will develop her or his individual project in line with the main objectives, theoretical and methodological frameworks, and one or more of the thematic work packages of the INREL project.
She or he must propose a case study either of a Christian organization or network and its engagement with indigenous peoples and indigenous religion(s), or of an example of indigenous theology and the networks and practices in which it is situated. Christian organizations and networks, like the World Council of Churches, have played significant roles in the forming and working of the international indigenous peoples’ movement. Indigenous actors have indigenized their Christianity, in some cases taken control over churches, and some have developed indigenous theologies through which they now articulate alternative ways of linking indigenous religion(s) and Christianity. At the same time, in their mission activities, Christian organizations and networks continue to target indigenous peoples and indigenous religion(s) especially.
Knowledge of relevant languages is required. The successful candidate will be encouraged to spend one term abroad at one of our partner institutions (see list here), and may include such plans in the proposal.
