PhD Research Fellow in Sociology - Weaving the fabric of Elite Bonds (ref 211446)

Updated: over 2 years ago
Job Type: FullTime
Deadline: 15 Oct 2021

The PhD fellow will be part of the research project Weaving the fabric of Elite Bonds (WEB)  which is headed by Maren Toft. The fellow is expected to pursue independent research under supervision, as outlined in their submitted project proposal.

WEB investigates how social networks are linked to family dynasties and elite power. The project investigates the social cohesion of Norwegian elites, the level of circulation and integration between different parts of the elite, how marriage and kinship ties are related to business and organizational networks, and how networks are implicated in the life-chances of elites. The project is organized in two work packages that concern i) the role of patrimony in business networks, and ii) elite cohesion and elite circulation. The proposal for a PhD project must engage explicitly with one or multiple topics raised in WEB.
