At Nord University’s campus in Bodø, The Arctic Research group welcomes doctoral or postdoctoral researchers for secondments in Social and economic geography.
The research group will address topics related to the circumpolar Arctic region.
The region is warming four times faster than the rest of the world and is experiencing dramatic changes in socio-economic, ecological and political conditions. To understand these processes, we will access the contemporary theoretical and methodological directions in Arctic research and explore its relevance for our joint and individual research interests. Our research interests cover topics related to human-nature interactions (climate change, pollution, environmental governance) and sustainable development of local and indigenous communities. The group will actively work towards applying for external funding, strengthen the Arctic network at FSV/Nord with external partners and Indigenous People organizations, increase the relevance of Arctic research for education programs at Nord University (e.g.., Circumpolar Studies, Master in social analysis and doctoral education programs) and contribute to publications in high-ranking Arctic/Polar journals.
The secondment has to take place between September 2025 – June 2026.
Location: Nord University, Campus Bodø
Faculty: Faculty of Social Sciences
