PhD Research Fellow in Social Sciences Full-time

PhD Research Fellow Position

Applicants are invited for a four-year full-time position as PhD Research Fellow at the Centre for Research on Equality in Education (CREATE), University of Oslo, Norway.

CREATE is an interdisciplinary Centre of Excellence funded by the Research Council of Norway with the objective of generating novel knowledge about how to reduce social inequality. The interdisciplinary center integrates researchers with substantive expertise from education, psychology, sociology, economics, and genetics, and methodological expertise from educational measurement, psychometrics, econometrics, statistics, and biostatistics. The PhD Fellowship is affiliated with CREATE's research strand 1 «Identifying the Barriers to Equality in Education», aiming to disentangle the causal mechanisms that hinder equality and to understand for whom, how, and why these mechanisms operate over time and across the life course.

The PhD Fellow will be part of the interdisciplinary Convergence Environment “NeuroPathways: A Multidisciplinary Convergence Approach to Understanding and Supporting Neurodevelopmental Variability”, funded through the University of Oslo. The project integrates economics, sociology, genetics, psychology, pharmacology, and educational sciences to advance our understanding of neurodevelopmental variability and improve evidence-based and inclusive support strategies across the life course.

We are looking for a motivated and engaged PhD Fellow with strong potential for high-quality research. The position includes 25% career-promoting work, which may consist of teaching, dissemination, and contributions to NeuroPathways interdisciplinary and convergence activities. The career-promoting work will depend on the candidate's qualifications and CREATE's needs.
