PhD Research Fellowship in Narrative Data Visualisation at the University of Bergen, connected to the Center for Digital Narrative and the Department of Linguistic, Literary and Aesthetic Studies.
This PhD project sits at the intersection of digital humanities, computer science, data visualization, narrative theory, and critical theory. The successful candidate will work across two research environments: the Center for Digital Narrative (CDN) and the Visualization Group (VisGroup) at the Department of Informatics. The project is closely linked to the ERC-funded AI STORIES project led by Professor Jill Walker Rettberg, which investigates narrative archetypes and cultural biases in generative AI.
The fellowship is a three-year fixed-term PhD position starting 1 January 2027 or by agreement. The PhD includes a 30 ECTS training component and 2.5 years dedicated to the doctoral research project. The position is based in Bergen, Norway.
Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a Norwegian master’s degree or equivalent foreign degree in Digital Culture, Digital Humanities, Computer Science, or another relevant subject with training in digital design, critical theory, or narrative theory and analysis. Experience designing and developing data visualizations is required, and applicants must demonstrate strong English proficiency, independent working ability, and collaboration skills. Helpful extras include knowledge of qualitative analysis, narrative analysis, programming for visual interfaces/applications, and UI/UX or graphic design.
Application materials: a brief motivation/research statement, CV, referees, a project proposal (up to 2 pages), a progress plan, transcripts and diplomas, a summary of the master’s thesis, a publication list, and optional supporting certificates/publications. Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed.
