[Air-L] PhD position available in Digital Culture in Norway

[Jill Walker Rettberg]

My department at the University of Bergen in Norway has advertised PhD positions, and hopefully one will go to a candidate researching Digital Culture. Please let any promising students with recently completed MAs know about this opportunity! Deadline Jan 15.
https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/131012/phd-positions-at-the-department-of-linguistic-literary-and-aesthetic-studies

This is a four year, fully paid position with an annual salary of NOK 435,100 (about USD 49,900) and all standard Norwegian rights to health care, parental leave and so on. 25% of your time would be spent on teaching and the rest on your research. 

To apply you have to have a clear idea of your dissertation topic, and must submit a project description (12000 characters (including spaces) - this is about 5 pages). You also need to have an agreement with a supervisor in the department. So if you are interested in this, send me an email - if your project idea is within an area I or one of my colleagues can supervise, we can give you feedback on a project description draft before you submit it. 

I would be particularly interested in supervising a candidate interested in humanities/cultural approaches to machine vision/algorithmic images, in self-representation in social media, or in narratives in social media. 

To apply for a PhD in Norway you have to have completed a two year, research-based MA degree with a research thesis equivalent to at least one semester’s full time work.
