Offer Description
UiT The Arctic University of Norway has established «The Arctic MSCA-PF program» (uit.no/project/arcticmsca) to recruit excellent young researchers planning to apply for a Marie Skƚodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) to pursue a career in research. We invite applications from promising young researchers within the field of environmental law and/or Indigenous law. The selected candidate will write a proposal for a 24-month MSCA-PF at UiT together with Prof. Margherita Poto. This is an opportunity to accelerate your research career while living in the urban research city of Tromsø, uniquely located at the top of the world surrounded by some of Europe’s last pristine wild nature.
This call is one of 33 from pre-selected supervisors at UiT The Arctic University of Norway through the “Arctic MSCA-PF program” (uit.no/project/arcticmsca/list-of-participants). Successful postdoc candidates will be invited for a three-day MSCA-PF symposium June 6-8, 2023 (hybrid physical/digital event, see details at uit.no/project/arcticmsca/program-structure). At this event, the candidates will present their past research achievements, discuss future plans with their potential supervisor and learn how to write a successful MSCA-PF application. The selected candidates will, jointly with the supervisor, write the MSCA-PF application by the deadline of September 13, 2023.
In this call we search for talented, young researchers within the field of environmental law and/or Indigenous law as presented by Prof. Margherita Poto:
Margherita Poto focuses her research and academic activities along internationally acknowledged research lines, moving from a unidisciplinary approach (law) to cross-disciplinary, co-created, and community-based research. Her work critically reflects on the colonialism of knowledge production, explores the integration of knowledge systems with a specific focus on knowledge co-creation as a way to address the sustainability challenges of the Agenda 2030. The main thematic pillars of her research in 2023 are:
- Co-creation of knowledge in research, education and practice
- Water literacy and education for sustainability
- Water governance and the ecology of participation
- Nature rights and human rights in a perspective of integral ecology
- Environmental governance through the intersectional lenses of indigenous law and ecofeminisms
Since 2021, dr. Poto has been coordinating the Project: An Exchange Program on Empathy, Compassion, and Care in Water Governance, from the Perspective of Integral Ecology | UiT
Please send your CV (max 3 pages) and describe a research project that will strengthen and complement the presented research (max 2 pages) to margherita.poto@uit.no by Feb 17th 2023. Mark your application “Arctic MSCA”. Successful candidates will be contacted in late March 2023.
