The Nordic Centre of Excellence: The Nordic Welfare State – Historical Foundations and Future Challenges (NordWel) is currently seeking applications for PhD student mobility fellowships for NordWel members from the participating institutions in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Iceland.
Fellowships are available in the time period between 1 January 2012 – 30 November 2012 in any of the NordWel research groups at the following institutions: University of Helsinki, University of Jyväskylä, Stockholm University, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim/University of Copenhagen/Lund University, University of Southern Denmark, Odense and University of Iceland.
Themes
The Centre is organized around five theme groups gathering researchers from different disciplines of historical and social research:
– Religion, Lutheranism and the Nordic Welfare State Model
– The National Welfare State: Citizenship and Democracy
– Epistemic Communities: Knowledge and Social Interests in the Making of the Nordic Welfare
– The Value Systems and Legitimacy in the Nordic Welfare State Model
– The Normative Charges of Work: The Labour Market and the Welfare State
About PhD Student Mobility Fellowships
The PhD student mobility fellowship covers a 2 – 6 months visit in one of the institutions participating in the Centre. NordForsk guidelines presuppose cross-border mobility, i.e. the visited institution must be in another country than the applicant’s home institution.
The fellowship covers a full-time salary in line with the rules of the recruiting institution and country.
The PhD students with mobility fellowship will be incorporated into the research training activities of the host institution and they will be appointed a local supervisor. They are asked to report the results of their visit in a short report within one month after the end of the visit.
Last date for submission of applications is October 28, 2011
