Nitton doktorander till humanistisk fakultet
Humanistiska fakulteten satsar på forskning och forskarutbildning!
Umeå universitets humanistiska fakultet driver ett omfattande utvecklingsarbete som vi kallar Humanistisk offensiv. Forskning är ett av sju insatsområden. Vi vill söka nya vägar för humaniora och bygga starka forskningsområden för framtiden. Med stöd av universitetsstyrelsen och Baltic-donationen anställer vi nu doktorander, biträdande lektorer och postdoktorer – ett led i det strategiska arbetet för att göra den humanistiska forskningen i Umeå ännu starkare.
Doktoranderna kommer att ingå i en forskarskola och ha egna resurser för internationalisering.

Entry requirements
General entry requirements for doctoral studies include a second-cycle degree, completed higher education courses of at least 240 HE credits, of which at least 60 HE credits should be at second-cycle level, and fulfilment of the specific entry requirements of the respective third-cycle subject area. A student who before July 1, 2007 had an academic degree of 120 academic credit points (corresponding to 180 HE credits) and fulfils the specific entry requirements of the third-cycle subject in question is also considered eligible for admission to doctoral studies.
The post
Holders of doctoral posts shall chiefly devote their time to their own doctoral studies. The initial employment is for a maximum of one year. After that the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. Employment as a doctoral student is granted for the period of time considered necessary for completion of the doctoral studies within the stipulated period of studies, which corresponds to full-time doctoral studies for four years. To a limited extent a doctoral student can teach or do administrative work corresponding to a maximum of twenty per cent of full-time work. The period of employment may consequently be prolonged to a maximum of five years.
Your application
The application should contain extracts from LADOK (the student registry) of completed credits/copy of degree certificate, including a certificate of fulfilled general and specific entry requirements, curriculum vitae, degree project/equivalent assignment, research plan/draft of no more than five pages, name and contact information about two referents, and copies of the degree project and any other relevant publications. In accordance with the instructions of the National Archives, the application documents will be sorted out, or if so requested by the applicant, returned two years after the decision on employment gained legal force. If you apply for several posts with different registration numbers, you must submit an application for each post. State precisely which subject your application refers to. Your application, marked with the respective registration number (see above), should in its entirety have reached Umeå University, the Registry Clerk, S-901 87 Umeå, or jobb@umu.se, not later than April 2, 2009.
Contact persons
Questions about the respective posts will be answered by the contact persons stated above.
Trade union information will be given by SACO 4690-786 51 53, SECO civil 4690-786 52 96 and TCO/ST-ATF 4690-786 54 31.

In the subject of Nordic Languages at Umeå University, literacy studies are conducted concerning writing practice and writing events. Writing practice emphasises that writing is part of a social practice, while writing events are focused on people’s activities within this practice. The aim of the studies is to investigate people’s writing in a temporal perspective and/or in a wider geographical perspective in order to understand the role that writing plays and has played in different social contexts. Not least of interest are studies of writing in environments that have not primarily been oriented towards writing.
In their research drafts the applicants should show in concrete terms what material is to be used and, in the light of the above-mentioned perspective, what questions will be addressed to the material. Studies of writing in other Nordic languages than Swedish, e.g. West Nordic writing, may also be considered.
