About the position

A fixed-term 100 % position is available at the University of Agder, Faculty of Humanities and Education as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in European Languages in Post-Colonial Africa: Historical Perspectives (1950-1990), affiliated to the Department of Religion, Philosophy and History, for a period of 3 years. The position is located at Campus Kristiansand. The preferred starting date is the beginning of 2027.

The position is linked to UiA’s research groups “Claimed Pasts: Critical Knowledge and Heritage Production” and “Language and Power.”

Applicants are invited to suggest an empirically and theoretically sound research project which conceptualizes language, and specifically the role of European languages, as an historical object, heuristic device, and analytical lens for understanding African decolonization as a historical process. Their research project might, for example, address

• the role language played for anticolonial mobilization or post-colonial nation- and state-building processes
• the late- or post-colonial connections between language, education, and development
• the role language played for inter- and transnational collaboration and institutions
• language in relation to African subjectivities, collective identities, and social distinction

Ideally, gender should be a central analytical category rather than an add-on variable in the research project. If convincingly conceptualized, any geographic or linguistic area within Africa and its diaspora is pertinent. Projects that place their research topic in a comparative and connective context and converse with discussions in global history will be particularly relevant.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be supported by and is expected to contribute actively to both research groups. They will work closely with Professor Christoph Kalter who is a member of both groups. More specifically, the successful candidate will:

• Conduct research on the project they proposed and publish three single-author articles in leading historical journals.
• Co-organize an authors’ workshop for and co-edit a special issue on (post-) colonial African language histories in a leading historical journal.
• Participate in activities and meetings in the research groups.
• Contribute to writing grant applications in the research groups.
• Contribute to teaching and supervision activities at the department.

Required qualifications

• PhD in history, preferentially in African history. Candidates must have obtained their doctorate or have submitted their doctoral thesis before the appointment decision is made and must have defended their thesis by the starting date.
• Familiarity with transnational and global history approaches.
• Experience with archival research.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Language skills required to conduct the research they proposed.
• The applicants must have excellent international publications or concrete plans for such publications based on their PhD. Furthermore, the applicants must demonstrate strong potential for excellent international publications based on the project proposal they submit. 

Criteria for positions as Post-doctoral Research Fellow (in Norwegian).

Desired qualifications

• It is hoped that applicants will have defended their thesis during the last five years.
• Having done historical work on language previously will be considered a plus but is not a requirement.
• Previous experience with international academic mobility will be considered a plus but is not a requirement.
• Familiarity with academic institutions and archival research on the African continent will be considered a plus but is not a requirement.
• Interest in interdisciplinary learning and conversation.

Personal qualities

• Willingness to work as part of a team.
• Scientific ambition, curiosity, and creativity.
• Good communication and team-working skills.
• Independence, inventiveness, and a proactive attitude.
• Good analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Accuracy, punctuality, and attention to detail.
