1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Transformative Structures and Processes in Teacher Education
Summary of PhD Program:
Applicants are invited to apply for a 4-year position as a PhD Research Fellow at the Department of Teacher Education and School Research, University of Oslo. The successful applicant will study transformative structures and processes in teacher education – nationally and/or globally – supporting the achievement of UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals 4 (SDG4).
Increased social inequality is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Inadequate teacher education is one of the reasons why inequality is rising. It affects students’ academic achievement and well-being. It is, however, unclear how teacher education, as a public good, contributes to the reduction of inequalities and the promotion of equity and social mobility.
Application Deadline: 31st May 2023

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Machine Learning for Offensive Security
Summary of PhD Program:
Machine learning and especially Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have trans-formed the way of data processing in many areas of the modern society. This includes automatic decision systems like in autonomous driving or automatic loan application processing. Special machine learning approaches like reinforce-ment learning (RL) are getting increasingly popular to apply interactive pro-cesses for example in ChatGPT. When applied to hacking in offensive security, a continuous interaction between the services and the actors are required. The vulnerable service provides different answers for different user requests that makes it possible for the attacker to learn how to take advantage of a service vulnerability with customized inputs. This type of modelling matches the rein-forcement learning paradigm where the threat actor is the RL agent and the ser-vice is the environment.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in ERC-project “Before Copyright”
Summary of PhD Program:
The project proposal should include a clear set of questions related to how printing privileges provided a normative framework for the production of knowledge. One might consider political alliances and conflicts, for example, but also scientific and trade networks, media strategies and censorship, or the cultural dynamics of specific locations in a globalizing world. Applicants are expected to state explicitly in their project proposal why they have chosen a particular approach and what sources they intend to use (e.g., printed literature, engravings, court records, maps, chancellery archives, etc.). Preference will be given to project proposals that raise critical questions about visual representation and memory cultures.
Application Deadline: 8th May 2023
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Philosophy of Science – AssemblingLife
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD position will be specifically associated with one of two research strands in AssemblingLife:
(1) One strand considers how the understanding of genetic causation may be transformed by bringing in current knowledge about self-assembly processes. One possible route would be to investigate genetic material as “nudgers” of self-assembly processes.
(2) A second research focus will be an investigation of the concept and idea of self-assembly across fields and scales, and how it connects to the idea of self-organization in living systems. The candidate´s proposed doctoral research need not address these topics exactly as described here. Candidates should, though, in their research description and application address how their proposed research relates to one of the research strands described. More information about the relevant work packages can be made available to applicants

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Philosophy and Politics
Summary of PhD Program:
A Doctoral Research Fellowship (SKO 1017) in philosophy and politics is available at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, University of Oslo. The doctoral position is part of the research project The influence of experts on public policy (INFLUEX), which is funded by the Research Council of Norway. INFLUEX aims to map, analyze and assess the influence of experts on public policy and debate. This will be done through empirical studies of expert bureaucracies, advisory commissions, international expert bodies and citizen experts. The research project also examines the question of how much influence experts ought to have in a democracy. INFLUEX is a multidisciplinary project, which combines perspectives from the social sciences and philosophy.
