Om stillingen​ Ved Senter for samiske studier (SESAM), Fakultet for humaniora, samfunnsvitenskap og lærerutdanning (HSL) er det en ledig stilling som doktorgradsstipendiat. Stipendiat er en utdanningsstilling med fullført forskerutdanning fram til doktorgrad som mål. Opptak til doktorgradsprogram er en forutsetning for ansettelse, og studieperioden starter ved tiltredelse i stillingen. Stipendiaten deltar i fakultetets forskerutdanning, og doktorgradsprosjektet gjennomføres i løpet av tilsettingsperioden. Informasjon om søknadsprosessen for opptak til ph.d.-programmet, søknadsskjema og ph.d.- forskrift finnes her. Stillingen gjelder for en periode på 3 år og ph.d.-studier på fulltid med mulighet for forlengelse av et gjennomføringsstipend. Dersom doktoravhandlingen leveres på normert studietid innen 3 år eller innen 3,5 år, kvalifiserer stipendiaten seg for et gjennomføringsstipend på henholdsvis 12 eller 6 måneder. Gjennomføringsstipendet skal brukes til kvalifikasjonsfremmende tiltak inkl. universitetspedagogisk kurs, undervisning og andre arbeidsoppgaver ved fakultetet. Mer om ordningen med gjennomføringsstipend finner du her. Arbeidssted er UiT i Tromsø. Du må kunne starte i stillingen innen rimelig tid etter å ha mottatt tilbud. Om prosjektet / Stillingens forskningsområde​ Ettersom doktorgradsprosjektet vil bli veiledet i fellesskap av forskere ved Senter for samiske studier, vil prosjektskissen bli utviklet i samarbeid med fagmiljøet. Vi vil prioritere et prosjekt i tråd med de strategiske forskningsinteressene ved senteret: • En internasjonal sammenligning av retningslinjer og institusjoner etablert for å håndtere materiale fra sannhets- (og forsonings-) kommisjoner. Dette kan omfatte retningslinjer knyttet til eierskap og kontroll av innsamlede vitnesbyrd og/eller kommisjonsarbeid; til tilgang til dette materialet for forskere, intervjuobjekter eller deres familiemedlemmer; til tidsbegrensninger for offentlig utgivelse av materiale; eller til videre formidling av den innsamlede informasjonen etter at den første rapporten er publisert. • Urfolks internasjonale diplomati. • Urfolks utdanning eller forskning i et historisk perspektiv (særlig komparativt og/eller internasjonalt). • En internasjonal sammenligning knyttet til implementering av tiltak for forsoning med urfolk. Dette kan inkludere implementering i offentlig eller privat sektor. Prosjektet kan åpner for flere metodiske innfallsvinkler, avhengig av kandidatens kompetanse og interessefelt. Slik vil den empiriske basisen for prosjektet kunne bli til gjennom tekststudier, ulike former for feltarbeid, arkivsøk, mediestudier, nettsider og/eller sosiale medier og/eller narrative tilnærminger av ulik art. Det daglige arbeidsstedet vil være ved SESAM, UiT campus Tromsø. SESAM jobber med å styrke samisk og urfolksrelatert forskning og formidling, samt tilby og styrke studier som omhandler samisk språk, samfunn og kultur og urfolks situasjoner og rettigheter. Senterets aktiviteter skal bidra til å styrke samiske språk i akademiske sammenhenger, samt utvikle samarbeidet med samiske utdannings- og forskningsinstitusjoner. SESAM skal videre bistå ledelsen ved universitetet og fakultetet når det gjelder samiske og urfolksrelaterte spørsmål.
