*PHD FELLOWSHIP IN CHEMISTRY EDUCATION/HISTORY OF CHEMISTRY*

The Department of Chemistry, Norwegian University of Science and 
Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim announces a vacant PhD fellowship in 
chemistry education/history of chemistry.

The fellowship is offered for a period of four years. The person 
appointed to the post will have teaching duties corresponding to ¼ of a 
full time post, e.g. laboratory instruction in elementary chemistry 
courses.

The PhD fellowship is within the history of chemistry, preferably on 
19th or 20th century chemistry. Successful candidates will be enrolled 
in the PhD programme in Science Education, which includes studies in the 
history of science. The position is organized at Department of 
Chemistry. Further information is available at 
http://www.ntnu.no/kjemi/english

We seek highly motivated candidates preferably holding a M.Sc. or 
equivalent in chemistry or related areas with an average grade of A or B 
within a scale of A-E for passing grades (A best). Promising candidates 
about to finish their master theses are eligible to apply as well. 
Information on time of completion should be enclosed the application. 
Prior experience in the history of chemistry will be considered an 
advantage. Applicants who are not native speakers of English or of a 
Scandinavian language must have a good command of spoken and written 
English.

The appointed fellow must agree to the conditions laid down for public 
employees.
Successful candidates are offered a start gross annual pay of NOK 353 
000 a year (Norwegian state salary code 1017, level 45) - corresponding 
to approximately 41000 Euros for the duration of four years. 2 % of the 
salary will be deducted at source as an obligatory premium to the 
Norwegian State Pension Fund.

The appointment of a PhD fellow will be made according to Norwegian 
guidelines for universities and university colleges. Applicants are 
obliged to engage on an organized PhD training programme, and 
appointment requires approval of the applicant’s plan for a Ph.D. study. 
Their M.Sc. results are thus expected to qualify for acceptance as a PhD 
student at NTNU. The successful candidate and the University must sign a 
mutual contract regarding the period of appointment and the obligations 
of the PhD fellow.

Candidates from universities outside Norway are kindly requested to send 
a Diploma Supplement or a similar document, which describes in detail 
the study and grade system and the rights for further studies associated 
with the obtained degree:

The application must contain information on previous education, exams, 
and professional experience.
