About this position
The Department of Economics at the University of Oslo invites applications for three to five PhD Research Fellow positions within its doctoral programme in economics. Fellows are automatically admitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences’ PhD programme and receive organized research training while developing their own research from the outset.
The programme prepares economists for academic careers and research positions in policy institutions, central banks and research organizations, while also supporting careers in government, finance and consulting. Fellows work with state-of-the-art empirical and theoretical methods in an international, research-active department with approximately 55 faculty members and around 25 PhD students.
Research may be pursued across fields of economics, particularly areas aligned with the department’s research strengths and supervision capacity. One fellowship is connected to the Norwegian Centre for International Economics and is intended for a candidate whose research interests and project proposal relate to international economics and/or development economics. Other positions are open to projects across economics, including areas such as econometrics, microeconomics, macroeconomics and public economics.
PhD researchers participate in seminars, workshops, social activities and international research networks. The department hosts the Norwegian Fiscal Studies centre for public economics and the Norwegian Centre for International Economics, creating opportunities for interaction with research groups and faculty. Fellows receive supervision from one or two academic supervisors and contribute to teaching and administrative activities as part of the department’s academic environment.
