Qualifications:
  • Applicants must hold a Norwegian master degree in law or its equivalent (admission to the PhD programme requires the candidate to have excellent grades).
  • Applicants to submit a short proposal (maximum 5 pages) sketching how they would tackle their part of the research project as outlined above, in light of the methodological challenges they envisage the research will present.
