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.
- In assessing the applications, special emphasis will be placed on the applicants’ assumed academic and personal ability to complete their part of the project within the given time frame, taking particular account of the interdisciplinary and interjurisdictional requirements of the VIROS project.
