PhD Research Fellowship in Arabic (297008) | University of Bergen

About the Department and Project:

The Department of Foreign Languages offers study programmes in Arabic, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, German, Spanish, and Latin American Studies. The department has around 60 permanent academic staff, approximately 20 PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows, and eleven administrative staff members.

Arabic has two and a half permanent academic positions, in addition to a part-time permanent position linked to continuing education, and an externally funded postdoctoral position. The teaching portfolio ranges from introductory courses to doctoral-level studies, in collaboration with the Department of History. The Arabic section collaborates closely with the academic staff in Middle Eastern history at the neighbouring department AHKR, as well as at the University Library and the Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI).

The PhD position will be linked to the research group for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies and with the Arabic section at the Department. The research group brings together scholars interested in the study of Islam, the Middle East, and the Muslim world. The researchers actively seek external funding. For this PhD call, we are particularly interested in projects that build on research related to the Arabian Peninsula and the western Indian Ocean, including the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, preferably in the period 1500–1800, with a focus on, for example, legal or historiographical sources in Arabic.
