PhD position on the ethnography of Northern landscapes

3-year full time PhD position on the ethnography of Northern landscapes, at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO) and the Barents Institute in Kirkenes

The position is associated to the Future North project, funded by the Norwegian Research Council within its SAMKUL Program. Future North aims to map and document the current Arctic and Subarctic landscapes through experimental interactive modes of mapping.

The team includes 4 researchers from architecture, landscape, design, media, and social sciences, as well as 3 PhD fellows.

Founded on a conception of landscape as a shared human experience, the PhD project should aim to bring to the foreground the voices of Northern residents -indigenous, non-indigenous, and new-comers. Eligible PhD-proposals should aim to develop strategies for mapping the landscapes of aspirations, disappointments, and desires as the Arctic advances headlong into massive industrialization, exploration for more resources, and speculative planning.

The fellowship will commence in September 2013, and the candidate will undertake research training (45 ECTS) at AHO in Oslo for the first year, and will be located at The Barents Institute at the University of Tromsø in Kirkenes for the rest of the three-year project period. This attachment will be under the chief supervision of its leader Aileen A. Espiritu, with support from the rest of the Future North team. Article based publication is encouraged as a form of thesis production. The position requires full time residency for the full 3 year period. Research stay at a relevant international academic institution is a possibility.

Requirements:

Applicants must hold a relevant master’s degree within the interdisciplinary field of social sciences, and/or landscape and design studies.
The successful candidate should be able to formulate and resolve questions of methodology and theory with regards to the ethnography of landscape, and have experience and/or training in ethnographic methods.
Within the ambition of Future North to focus on the material and action-oriented formation of landscape, the successful candidate should be able to experiment with methods of mapping, including participatory approaches.
To take full advantage of the residency in Kirkenes, the PhD project should focus on the trans-border context of the Northern regions of Norway, Russia, Finland and Sweden, or other relevant comparative situations in the Circumpolar North.
Applicants should have knowledge of collaborative ethnography, GIS, and mapping in general.
The working language of the project is English. Good English proficiency (both written and oral) is therefore a prerequisite.

For more information on the Future North project, see

http://www.designresearch.no/projects/future-north-2/about

The application must include:

An application letter – describing relevant background, research experience and network.
A fully completed application form.
A tentative project description of maximum 5 pages, formulating research problem and aim, as well as an overview of relevant approaches and methods (including motivation for possible research stay).
Curriculum vitae.
Copies of educational certificates (applicants with education from abroad must attach an explanation of their university’s grading system).
2 references or recommendations explaining why, in the referee’s opinion, the candidate is qualified to undertake the prospective research at AHO.
If research stay is intended, include invitation letters from relevant academic institution.
If relevant: List of publications and/or academic or design work.
Preferably some documentation of English proficiency (i.e. diplomas from Upper Secondary School, confirmation of previous education in English, a TOEFL-test, etc.)

All applications should be submitted via our electronic application form (Note: the application and all documents have to be in English, except for copies of educational certificates)

The material for the PhD application will be assessed according to the following criteria:

Mengejar Beasiswa: Inggris - University of York (Department of Health Sciences)

Kembali salah satu Universitas di Inggris menawarkan Beasiswa unutk pelamar dari jenjang PhD. Infonya bisa dilihat dibawah ini:

Funded PhD Studentship – Tobacco Control

University of York -Department of Health Sciences

South Asian Consortium for Tobacco control Research

Overview

Applications are invited for a full-time three-year PhD studentship in tobacco control research in people of south Asian origin, funded by NHS Leeds and hosted within the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York, commencing October 2013.

We are seeking an exceptional and self-motivated individual who wishes to develop their research skills and build a career in tobacco control and who will make an active contribution to the SACTR portfolio.

Approximately 350 million people consume at least one or the other forms of tobacco in south Asia and nearly 1.2 million people die secondary to related diseases. Tobacco use is also more common among people of south Asian origin (mainly from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan) living in the UK and US than in general population. In addition to smoking cigarettes, people in south Asia also use a variety of smoking (bidi, Hookah) and smokeless forms of tobacco. Use of such niche tobacco products is less understood in terms of their toxicity, addictive properties, and sociocultural determinants. Moreover, south Asian populations have different underlying risks for diseases caused by tobacco use in both relative and absolute terms. The same sociocultural determinants and behaviours that influences tobacco use in south Asians are also likely to influence the effect of interventions (primarily designed for cigarettes) to prevent and control its use.

The PhD studentship is aimed to develop academic scholarship in the area of tobacco control in south Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal) and/or in people of south Asian origin living in the UK. The successful student will be encouraged to present their own research. However, it should enhance our knowledge in achieving sustained behaviour change in relation to tobacco use in south Asians. The successful candidate will be expected to build a research project within this area with the support of their supervisors.

The Award

The award will cover academic fees at the UK/EU or overseas rate, depending on the student status, and a maintenance grant of £12,000 per annum for three years. A project support grant of £4,000 over the course of the PhD can be used at the discretion of the supervisors to support research expenses.

For students whose first language is not English there is a minimum requirement of an IELTS score of at least 7 in each component of the test.

How to apply

Applications should be received no later than 30 April 2013 before 4:00PM.

Applications should be made using the Department of Health Sciences on-line application process.

Applicants should state that they are applying for the advertised Tobacco control PhD studentship ref: PHD2013SID and provide a curriculum vitae and two academic references. You should also upload an outline of your intended approach to the area of research outlined, stating your objectives and potential methods or approaches that could be used (up to 500 words in PDF format).

Informal Enquiries

Prospective applicants who wish to discuss the studentships should contact Dr Kamran Siddiqi on kamran.siddiqi[at]york.ac.uk.
