Job description

Position as a PhD Research Fellow in geoscience education/pedagogy available at the Department of Geosciences.

No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo. Starting date no later than October 1, 2022.

The PhD research fellowship is a full-time position with a fixed-term period of three years. Candidates who can and want to contribute to teaching and supervision at the department may be offered an additional year of teaching-related compulsory duties in the early stages of the contract period. In this case, the appointment period will be extended to a total of four years, where compulsory duties will be spread out over the full contract period, averaging 25% per year.

Geoscience students as partners in higher education

The advertised position is one of five PhD positions in geoscience education/pedagogy at The Centre for Excellence in Higher Education iEarth. The five positions are located at the different iEarth partners: University of Oslo, University of Bergen, University of Tromsø and the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS).

iEarth aims to transform the geoscience education in Norway to meet the societal challenges of the Anthropocene (e.g. in climate, energy, geohazards, environment and resources). This is done in collaboration with our students within the Students as Partners framework, and our staff through research-based geoscience teaching development and the use of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). It will require an increased focus on an Earth System Science perspective and sustainable development, the use of authentic and ill-structured problems and collaboration with partners outside higher education.

The iEarth educational research group develops, initiates, supports and evaluates iEarth activities. It currently consists of five iEarth PhD Research Fellows, 1 post doctoral researcher, and several associate professors and professors with a variety of pedagogic, science education and geoscience backgrounds. The members are located at different universities, primarily in Nordic countries, and meet regularly on- and offline.
