Om stillingen
Universitetet i Stavanger har ledig stilling som stipendiat i engelsk litteratur ved Fakultet for utdanningsvitenskap og humaniora, Institutt for kultur- og språkvitenskap. Stillingen er ledig fra 1. mars 2025 (oppstartsdato kan forhandles).
Dette er en utdanningsstilling som i hovedsak skal gi lovende forskere anledning til faglig utvikling gjennom en forskerutdanning.
Den som ansettes vil bli tatt opp på doktorgradsprogrammet i Utdanningsvitenskap og humaniora. Programmet omfatter relevante kurs i et omfang som tilsvarer omkring et halvt års studium, en avhandling basert på selvstendig forskning, deltakelse i nasjonale og internasjonale forskermiljø, relevant forskningsformidling, prøveforelesning og disputas. Les mer om forskerutdanningen ved UiS på våre nettsider.
Stipendiaten ansettes for en periode på tre år med ren forskerutdanning eller fire år med forskerutdanning og annet karrierefremmende arbeid. Dette blir avklart i rekrutteringsprosessen.
Det forventes at den som ansettes deltar aktivt i fagmiljøet. Stillingen er åpen for internasjonal rekruttering, og doktorgradsavhandlingen skal skrives på engelsk.
Forskningstema
Vi lyser ut en doktorgradsstilling i engelsk litteratur for å forske på de kreative skriveprosessene som brukes i eksperimentell litteratur med mulig vekt på pedagogiske implikasjoner. Stipendiaten vil utforske noen aspekter av eksperimentell, avantgarde eller svært nyskapende litteratur på engelsk (for eksempel modernistisk, surrealistisk, Oulipo, konseptuell, multimodal, spillbasert eller elektronisk skriving) med vekt på å undersøke de kreative teknikkene og prosessene til en forfatter eller forfattere (for eksempel fragmentering, spill, kunstbaserte prosesser, matematikkbaserte prosesser, multimediaprosesser, objektbaserte prosesser, samarbeidsskriving, bruk av flere materialer, lydbaserte prosesser etc.). Dette kan være multimodale tilnærminger som elektronisk litteratur, tekstbaserte videospill eller grafiske romaner; det bør imidlertid legges vekt på å undersøke de eksperimentelle skriveprosessene/-teknikkene som brukes i produksjonen av en skriftlig tekst. Stipendiaten vil få muligheten til å jobbe med Creative Writing Games for Reading (CWGR), et prosjekt som arbeider med å teste skrivespill i videregående klasserom. Dette betyr at mens hovedvekten av stillingen vil være i litteraturvitenskap, oppfordres søkere som er interessert i undervisning og pedagogisk spilldesign til å søke. Mens prosjektet kan inneholde et designbasert element (designe et spill eller eksperimentell prosess og teste det med studenter), bør det legges vekt på å undersøke skriveprosesser som brukes i eksperimentell litteratur.
Noen generelle eksempler på prosjekter kan være å
- se på en spesifikk forfatters skriveprosess
- se på en skriveprosess som deles av flere forfattere
- modellere og teste et sett med eksperimentelle skriveprosesser
- historisere et sett med skriveprosesser over tid
Ta gjerne kontakt med veileder, førsteamanuensis Allen Jones, allen.jones@uis.no.jtn.cvconv.com.jtn.cvconv.com.jtn.cvconv.com.jtn.cvconv.com, med spørsmål om mulige prosjektideer: jo mer kreativt prosjektet er, jo bedre.
Prosjektskisse
Som søker må du utarbeide en foreløpig prosjektskisse for et doktorgradsprosjekt innenfor fagområdet der det gjøres rede for problemstilling, relevans, teoretisk- og metodisk tilnærming. Prosjektskissen vil inngå i kompetansevurderingen.
I løpet av de tre første månedene av ansettelsesperioden vil prosjektskissen og fremdriftsplan bli videreutviklet i samarbeid med veilederne og utformet til den endelige planen for ph.d.-prosjektet. Mal for prosjektskisse finner du her.
