The Department has more than 350 undergraduate students, including 100 in African Studies, and more than 75 postgraduate students.There are currently 12 tenured faculty members, and a number of research fellows.

Examples of ongoing research are: Peasant economy of the northern highlands of Ethiopia, with a particular focus on poverty and potential for development within the local economy; international labor relations in Latin America, and; the constitutive role of the idea of the “primitive” in some key texts of some European philosophers. Research covers most ethnographic regions. However, considering the extent of research and teaching dedicated to Africa at the Department, this continent is given particular attention.The Department also hosts national and international conferences and seminars on important issues in anthropology, recent themes being: Interdisciplinary Ethiopian studies; place, recollection, dream, nostalgia and performance, and; the relationship between sound and image in ethnographic films.The person appointed will as part of his or her duties undertake teaching in accordance with the relevant university regulations, and will be required to take part in work devoted to examinations and grading without extra remuneration.

These should be sent unsolicited as candidates will not be asked to send such material. When there are major difficulties in sending multiple copies, candidates may ask for permission to send only one copy of particular items, but as this slows down the work of the specialist committee such a request should be made only in extreme circumstances. It is usual in Norway for copies of doctoral theses - when relevant - to be submitted for assessment along with other scholarly material. Please note that an applicant can not submit more than 10 publications.2. As soon as possible after the deadline an expert committee will be appointed to assess submitted scholarly material and to make recommendations concerning the applicants.
