About this position

This postdoctoral position is based at the Department of Language and Culture, Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education at UiT The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø. The project is situated within critical sociolinguistics and is affiliated with Living Arctic Colonialities, a project examining how coloniality continues as an ongoing, situated process in northern parts of Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

The successful candidate will investigate the interplay between coloniality, capitalism, and the management of common natural resources in the context of growing demand for renewable energy, climate change, and geopolitical tensions. The work is designed as an ethnographic study of a self-selected empirical case in the Arctic regions of Norway, Sweden, or Finland, allowing the fellow to contribute original field-based research to the project’s broader analytical framework.

The position is embedded in a broad and active research environment with approximately 140 employees and around 500 students, primarily located at the Tromsø campus with additional activity at Alta. The department works across a wide range of academic disciplines, and the postdoctoral fellow will collaborate methodologically and theoretically with RiverPulse, an ongoing ERC Advanced Grant project at UiT.

The advert emphasizes research on how colonial conditions are lived, discussed, and resisted today, especially in relation to the majority population, the Sámi, and national minorities. The position is intended as a career-building research appointment within an interdisciplinary Arctic university setting.
