Offer Description

The Faculty of Theology at the University of Oslo is nationally and internationally recognized for its research and innovation in interreligious studies, including chaplaincy in plural societies, encounters between religions, and dialogue related to beliefs and worldviews.

The faculty aims to expand its research portfolio in the areas related to religious and worldview leadership, conversational practices, and chaplaincy within a pluralistic multicultural context of beliefs and worldviews.

The postdoctoral position will be linked to the academic environment connected to the master’s program Leadership, Ethics and Counselling / Chaplaincy (LES). This program focuses on the relationship between theory and practice in religious and worldview leadership and counselling, as well as building competence to relate professionally to religious and worldview diversity for individuals in public service such as administration, health care, correctional facilities or the armed forces. The position's mandatory work (25%) will consist of teaching and supervision in this program, and in the faculty’s courses provided for religious leaders with a non-Norwegian background.

The successful candidate is expected to have research competence in the field of counselling / chaplaincy, religious and worldview leadership, or from other areas where values, religions, and worldviews intersect in a social or institutional context. A minimum of two years of practical experience in a context relevant to the LES master's program is desired.
