About this position
NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) is advertising a 3-year postdoctoral position in arts and arts education focused on aesthetics of access and disability as critical methodology. The post is based in the research group How to do things with disability (DOABLE) at the Department of Teacher Education, with project leadership by Professor Tone Pernille Østern.
The position is designed for a researcher who wants to develop a strong profile in disability-affirmative innovation, inclusive co-design, access as quality criteria, interdependence, radical allyship, and arts-based / artistic / qualitative / postqualitative inquiry. The project encourages work with practices such as relaxed performance, audio description, broader visual accessibility, and other arts or arts-education practices that center access and inclusion as creative motors.
Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold, or be near completion of, an artistic or academic doctorate in arts, arts education, or a closely related field with clear relevance to disability-affirmative innovation. A 3-5 page research plan is required, along with evidence of methodological expertise, artistic/academic experience, and very good English (B2). Norwegian/Scandinavian language skills and an international network are preferred.
Funding and conditions: the role is salaried, normally at NOK 633,400 gross per year before tax, and includes a NOK 80,000 operating budget over the 3-year period. The appointment also includes career development support, possible pedagogical competence training, and teaching/mentoring duties.
Application deadline: 31 October 2026. Applications must be submitted electronically via Jobbnorge.no with transcripts and diplomas, thesis or proof of submission/defense date, CV, up to 10 works, referee contacts, and the research plan.
This opportunity is physically located in Trondheim, Norway, at NTNU.
