Scholars with an interdisciplinary orientation are invited to apply for a position for a Research Fellowship as a PhD Candidate at the Centre for Gender Research at the University of Oslo. The successful applicant will work on the European Research Council Consolidator grant project ‘Innocent Children or Security Threats? European Children Born of War (EuroWARCHILD) ”. It is preferable with candidates with a background in social science studies with knowledge of and experience with qualitative interview analyses. However, scholars in law and/or humanities may also be considered depending on the fit of the project description with the aims and methodologies of the EuroWARCHILD project. The appointment is for 3 years.

The PhD scholar will be part of the sub-study of children fathered by Red Army soldiers with German mothers in Germany during and after WW II. This entails gathering new interview data, as well as gathering and analyzing existing documents about this group of war children in Germany. Further, the PhD scholar is expected to take part in theory development and inter-generational analyses in the overarching project with the rest of the project team. The PhD study can be framed in different ways, but must include the elements outlined in the study of children fathered by Red Army soldiers with German mothers in Germany during and after WW II, as a minimum. It is therefore important that the PhD scholar can read German sources and can communicate in German.
