2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Plant Reproduction and Developmental Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon giving rise to parent-of-origin allele specific expression that occurs mainly in placental tissue/endosperm in animals and plants and is hypothesized to be involved in the allocation of nutrient resources to the growing embryo. Although imprinting has evolved independently in plant and animal lineages, similar epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone tail modification, and sRNA-guided silencing mechanisms are conserved. In plants, genomic imprinting is hypothesized to be established in the gametes and reflected in parent-of-origin allele specific expression in the endosperm after fertilization [Hornslien et al. Plant Physiol. 2019].

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cell Stress and Cancer
Summary of PhD Program:
Applications are invited for a 3-year position in a Research Fellowship as PhD Candidate in Molecular Medicine in the group Cell Stress and Cancer https://www.med.uio.no/imb/english/research/groups/cellstress/index.html headed by Associate Professor Helene Knævelsrud at the Division of Biochemistry, Department of Molecular Medicine, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo.
The research fellow will work with fruit fly models to understand how autophagy termination is influenced by metabolic pathways in a multicellular organism. The research fellow will work on one or a few potential regulators of autophagy termination with relation to metabolism in the context of the organism and employ a range of methods (metabolomics, immunofluorescence, immunoblotting, autophagy assays, drosophila genetics, molecular cloning) to obtain mechanistic understanding.
Application Deadline: 1st June 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in ERC-funded project “ECOART”
Summary of PhD Program:
1-2 full-time Doctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1017) in Art History and Visual Studies are available at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, University of Oslo. These positions form part of the European Research Council-funded Consolidator project ECOART – An Ecological History of Eurasian Art: Natural Resources, Aesthetic Practices, and Early Modern Globalization, which will consist of a team of Principal Investigator Anna Grasskamp, three doctoral research fellows and two post-doctoral research fellows. The project investigates the artistic use and visual representation of geographical, geological, botanical, zoological, and climatic resources in Eurasia, a space dominated by European and Chinese economic spheres of influence, in an era of early modern globalization from 1500 to 1800. Funding for fieldwork, archival research, conference attendance and publications will be available to all members of the project.

Summary of PhD Program:
The positions form part of the ERC-funded research project JEUX – Literary Games, Poetics and the Early-Modern Novel (101087560). JEUX investigates how literary authors model their own practice creatively through play. The project goes beyond traditional metaphors of literature as gameplay and investigates an actual literary game from theoretical, historical and empirical perspectives. The project investigates representations of game-playing practices in early-modern novels, novelists’ participation in literary salons and the impact that these practices have on how the novel gets established as a genre. JEUX will explore cultural practices as a potential site for creativity, innovation and community also in the contemporary world.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in research initiative Eco-Emotions
Summary of PhD Program:
The main aim of the project is to discuss how humans affectively deal with environmental change, as represented in and through literature, from the past and today, in the North and globally. The current environmental crisis has made us aware of the pressing need for new insight, pertaining to the deeper emotive structures of humanity and the cognitive mechanisms that condition our relationship to the environment. The two main research questions of the project are: (1) How does literature represent and describe affective responses to environmental change? (2) What effect does literature have on our emotions and thoughts, and how can it contribute to sustainability in times of environmental transformations? By discussing these research questions, the project will harvest the yet unexploited potential of powerful, large-scale narratives from the past and today, which have the potential to activate new ways of thinking about and relating to our environment.
