The Department of Geography (https://www.uib.no/en/geografi) at the University of Bergen is recruiting a Postdoctoral research fellow in geography or a relevant social science. The successful candidate will be part of the research project “Reimagining Food Systems for Climate Change Adaptation, Mitigation, and Social Justice.” The position is for a period of 3 years.

Applicants must propose a research project that enriches the knowledge of the history of art in Madagascar. The fellowship can be used to partially fund ongoing research, but the submitted project can also take other forms: artist monograph, study of a body of work, or study of unknown or little-known archival or photographic collections. Applicants may also present a research topic on Malagasy heritage preserved in one or more museums in France, with a view to integrating the project “From Objects to Practices: Madagascar in French Public Collections,” led by the INHA.

Sylvia Naish Research Fellowships provide funding of up to £2,500 and are open to post-doctoral applicants domiciled in the UK or abroad, who wish to spend a minimum of one month at the Institute. Preference will be given to applicants who have a strong publications record appropriate to their career stage.

Forced migration and the treatment of refugees and other displaced people are currently at the center of many political, social, and academic debates. Yet forced migration is neither limited to present-day developments nor to certain regions. It is, indeed, a global phenomenon that has shaped humankind since time immemorial. Violence, conflict, persecution, discrimination, poverty, as well as changes in climate and environment can prompt people to leave their places of origin.
