Postdoctoral fellowship in global health politics
2 days ago
A post-doctoral fellowship is available with the Global Health Politics research group at the University of Oslo's Centre for Development and the Environment (from June 2025, the Centre for Global Sustainability).
We welcome proposals for research that align closely with either or both of two externally funded projects that are starting in mid-2025. These are the Norwegian Research Council-funded project "Pandemic Funds, Public Goods for Health and the Future of Global Health Financing" (PANDFUND), and "Mega-philanthropy and democratic governance" (PHILOS) funded by the University of Oslo's research initiative UiO:Democracy.
Projects can focus on the influence of private-sector actors within global health governance and policy, notably the transnational role of private philanthropic foundations and public-private partnerships. Proposals that foreground issues related to the management of potential conflicts of interest, transparency, and accountability in the relationship between public and private actors are particularly welcome. We welcome projects focused on national, regional and global policy arenas.

The postdoctoral fellow will be a fully integrated and active member of the interdisciplinary Global health politics research group at the University of Oslo's new Centre for Global Sustainability, and the PANDFUND and PHILOS project groups. They may also contribute to and benefit from the international Collective on the Political Determinants of Health, which is hosted by the group.
The fellowship is initially for three years with the possibility to extend to four years. In the event of extension to four years, the postdoctoral fellow will be assigned compulsory duties in the form of teaching, research coordination and similar work that contributes to their qualification as independent researchers. The ideal starting date is August/September 2025.
A career plan shall be developed for the Postdoctoral Fellow, specifying the competencies the Postdoctoral Fellow should acquire. UiO is responsible for following up on the career plan and ensuring that the Postdoctoral Fellow has access to career guidance throughout the postdoctoral term.
