  1. University of Tromso seeks Research Fellow
    Social Anthropology
    Tromso, Norway

The Department of Archaeology and Social Anthropology at the University
of Tromso seeks applications for a fully financed PhD fellowship. The
period of appointment is four years, and the position will be based in
Tromso, Norway.

The theme for the fellowship is 'indigeneity across boundaries.' The
successful candidate will study this topic ethnographically. Possible
project approaches include but are not limited to:

- Studying the symbolic and phenomenological aspect of 'boundaries'
in general;
- Focusing on how arbitrary boundaries positively or negatively
affect the fates of indigenous people within or without those
boundaries;
- Understanding how the relational quality of boundaries define both
the person as well as social imagineries;
- Comparing the career of the term indigeneity across a North-South
axis in one or more sites; or
- Specifying how boundaries hold a double-edged quality that often
fragments solidarity while creating new hierarchies.

The position is not restricted to any ethnographic region. Further
information on the position, including application procedures, is
available at: http://www.jobbnorge.no/job.aspx?jobid=72285.
