The term of appointment is for four years, with an opportunity for further extension. At the end of each fixed-term period the position will be advertized publicly. No one can be employed for more than three fixed-term periods. The centre director has the academic and administrative responsibility for the centre, conducts staff meetings, reports to the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities, and is an integral part of the leadership group at the Faculty of Humanities. The Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities (SVT) is an interdisciplinary interfaculty centre at the University of Bergen.

Furthermore, the centre is responsible for the instruction in the theory of science and ethics component of the Ph.D. research education (third cycle) at all the faculties at the University of Bergen. In addition, the centre gives courses in the theory of science and ethics to different academic milieus at all levels. The centre emphasizes theoretical and ethical topics that are relevant to the respective academic disciplines. Thus both instruction and research at the centre are for the most part interdisciplinary. The centre has an extensive collaboration with other researchers and academic milieus at the University of Bergen, and also nationally and internationally.

It can be mentioned that the centre has the coordinating role for two research projects funded by the EU’s 7 Framework Program, and participates in and/or plays a contributory role in several other such projects.

Of these, there are five permanent academic positions, distributed among the various faculties. The academic staff members (permanent staff, research fellows, post-doctors and researchers) have different academic backgrounds, and the majority of them have an interdisciplinary background and/or dual expertise. The research milieu at SVT is interdisciplinary, with a broad understanding of theory of science in which both internal and external perspectives are included, and which include philosophy, history, sociology and ethics of science and other disciplines that carry out research on science, social science and the humanities, including research on foundational issues within the various sciences, ELSA research and other research on science and society.

The ICHS is seeking two scholars who have completed their doctoral training to engage in an intensive two-year postdoctoral training program at the University of Alaska Anchorage. The program will consist of two years of intensive scholar-directed research conducted in collaboration with distinguished faculty mentors at the University of Alaska, and focused on health issues of particular relevance for Alaskan residents. The training curriculum will foster cross-disciplinary thinking and dialogue, as scholars and faculty from different disciplines at the University of Alaska assess and respond to the variety of contextual forces shaping population health in Alaska and the circumpolar north. Candidates must have completed their doctoral training (including the award of their doctoral degree or letter of completion from their registrar's office) by the time of entry into the program (May or June 2010) in one of a variety of fields including, but not limited to: behavioral and social sciences, biological and natural sciences, public policy, and public health. Past training in health-related areas is not a requirement, but applicants must clearly connect their postdoctoral research interests to substantive circumpolar health concerns. Applicants should welcome the challenge of conducting research in Alaska. Publication experience, professional meeting presentations, and seminar or classroom teaching experience are preferred. ICHS is particularly interested in individuals whose research experience includes addiction to alcohol, tobacco, and other substances, diet and nutrition, and global climate change. Applications to these positions will be accepted electronically.
