Offer Description
UiT The Arctic University of Norway has established «The Arctic MSCA-PF program» (uit.no/project/arcticmsca ) to recruit excellent young researchers planning to apply for a Marie Skƚodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) to pursue a career in research. We invite applications from promising young researchers within the field of Children in Legal science and Children’s Human rights. The selected candidate will write a proposal for a 24-month MSCA-PF at UiT together with Professor Lena Bendiksen . This is an opportunity to accelerate your research career while living in the urban research city of Tromsø, uniquely located at the top of the world surrounded by some of Europe’s last pristine wild nature.
This call is one of 70 from pre-selected supervisors at UiT The Arctic University of Norway through the “Arctic MSCA-PF program”. Successful postdoc candidates will be invited for a three-day MSCA-PF symposium June 4-6, 2024 (hybrid physical/digital event, see details at uit.no/project/arcticmsca/program-structure ). At this event, the candidates will present their past research achievements, discuss future plans with their potential supervisor and learn how to write a successful MSCA-PF application. The selected candidates will, jointly with the supervisor, write the MSCA-PF application by the deadline of September 11, 2024.
In this call we search for talented, young researchers within the field of Children in Legal science and Children’s Human rights as presented by Professor Bendiksen :
As researchers and through the research group for Child Law at UiT, we have participated in the development of specialization and disciplinary strength of the child law research area, both nationally and in a Nordic context. We and the rest of the research group work on a variety of topics regarding child law and children's human rights. Included are the relationship between children and parents, child protection law (especially issues of care and adoption), procedural questions, coercive measures towards children, children's constitutional rights and asylum-seeking children’s rights. We also have ongoing research related to Sami children's right to education in and on their own language and their right to a future due to Climate change. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) constitutes a main foundation for our research, in addition to other international conventions. An ongoing research project within the group is ‘Children’s Right to Health’, financed by The Research Council of Norway. The project concerns the development of child rights theory and includes a new dimension on child law through the combination of health law and child law. “Access to justice for children” is another ongoing project, funded by the RCN, with an aim to coordinate and support network activities within the field of child law.
Please send your CV (max 3 pages) and describe a research project that will strengthen and complement the presented research (max 2 pages) to [email protected] by Feb 16th 2024. Mark your application "Arctic MSCA". Successful candidates will be contacted in late March 2024.
