PhD Position

The Department of Foreign Languages invites applications for a PhD position in English linguistics commencing from August 2025, or as agreed upon. The position is for a fixed-term period of four years.

The Department spans nine different languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish language and Latin-American Studies. Teaching and research are conducted in the disciplines of language/linguistics, literature, history/cultural studies, and didactics. The Department has around 60 permanent academic staff members, along with approximately 20 PhD and postdoctoral fellows, and eleven administrative members of staff.

The PhD candidate will be affiliated with the section for English linguistics at the Department of Foreign Languages and with the research group Language Data and Language Change (LDLC). The PhD project must be compatible with the research interests of the members of the section for English linguistics and relevant to the LDLC research group in the area of English linguistics. Potential fields of research include, but are not strictly limited to:

  • Language variation and change on all levels of linguistic analysis (phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics)
  • Synchronic or historical linguistics
  • Language contact

The PhD project must emphasize the use of empirical data, and its argumentation should be quantitatively oriented. The project should be anchored in and/or informed by linguistic theory.

A plan for this part of the position will be established in collaboration with the Department. The remaining six months will be allocated to formal training. As a PhD candidate, you must participate in the Faculty of Humanities' PhD program, which comprises a training component corresponding to 30 ECTS.

We Can Offer
  • A stimulating and professionally challenging work environment.
  • Gross annual salary of NOK 560 000 for a full-time position (code 1017). Further salary increases will be based on seniority in the position.
