About the position

We seek a candidate to do ethnographic research on issues related to peatlands, peatland restoration, and sustainability in Norway.

We are currently in the UN Decade for Ecosystem Restoration and peatlands are an especially important part of Norway’s restoration efforts. There is a widely felt sense that a lot – climate change, flood risk, biodiversity – hinges on what happens with peatlands. At the same time, uncertainties revolve around peatlands, and especially restored peatlands. 

The project may explore issues such as how people understand the role peatlands play in a sustainable future; what it means to restore peatland landscapes in a time of increasing pressure, degradation, and collapse; how people practically involve themselves with peatlands and how such efforts affect their knowledge and understanding; and what peatlands can tell us about the relations between science, policy, and society in times of global environmental change. We seek someone who is interested in newer environmental anthropology, open to theoretical innovation, and motivated to do in-depth ethnographic fieldwork.

The candidate will be part of the research group Anthropologies of Sustainability.

For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

If you have a weaker grade background, you may be assessed if you can document that you are particularly suitable for a PhD education. Good written and oral English language skills.
