Offer Description

A Doctoral Research Fellowship (SKO 1017) in History is available at the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History (IAKH), University of Oslo. The position is associated with the Research Group “History of Capitalism ”, with a focus on the history of intellectual property in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Research projects are expected to address one or more of the following questions:

• The history of the place of Sub-Saharan African countries in the international arenas for the internationalization of intellectual property (e.g. BIRPI, WIPO, ALAI, ARIPO and OAPI).
• The history of customary rights, traditional knowledge and norms in sub-Saharan African countries. This can be linked to an examination of the work of the relevant international organizations, such as the history of the UNESCO, for example.
• The history of counterfeiting and piracy of knowledge, trademarks, and products in Sub-Saharan Africa. This work may focus on one, or several categories of products (for example: pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, works of art, etc.

The applicants are expected to choose one or more sub-Saharan countries as the focus of their project. The cases of DR Congo and South Africa are of particular interest, but other cases or combinations of cases will also be considered.

The History of Capitalism group offers a unique environment for studying the history of intellectual property with two ERC projects currently hosted the in the Group, Before Copyright  and Creative IPR .
