Jobs for Immigrants at Oslo University
I found an interesting statement on an Oslo University job ad today:
The University of Oslo has a goal of recruiting more women in academic positions.
Women are encouraged to apply. The University of Oslo also has a goal of recruiting more immigrants to Norway in academic positions. Immigrants are encouraged to apply.
This was in English, plain to see for all immigrants (especially immigrant women). So if you are looking to live and work in Norway and have an academic background this is your lucky day! However, I wouldn’t trust the ads ‘resources’:
For further information, see http://www.hf.uio.no/ifikk/english/
and PSBio¿s homepage, see http://www.hf.uio.no/ifikk/forskning/forskningsprosjekter/psbio/index.html
It’s much better to go to the front page yourself and click on ‘Vacant Positions’. Better still, you can click on this and I’ll take you to the front page myself ;D
Good luck!

In Norway, there are still Lefse recipes around from the 1630s! This is supposedly the traditional and original Hardanger recipe used:
Pølse is THE fast food of Norway. When the grilled pølse was first introduced to Norway in the 50s it was eaten naked – without bread.
Runes were the written language of the Vikings.
Norwegian fjordings are from the draft horse family.
Traditional Norwegian cuisine is based on natural resources.
if only they encouraged more international students.
why is there no financial help for people who aren’t from third world countries???? students are poor wherever they’re from…! they think i can pay oslo living costs?!?! grumble grumble

I’m all for supporting people in third world countries who are disadvantaged – but the odd thing to me is that most of the scholarships for people from third world countries are for those who already have a Bachelor degree (with at least Bs) and fluent in English. Is a person really disadvantaged having that amount of education and opportunity that they need exclusive scholarships to keep studying?
(take a peek at the nationality, academic and language requirements of this scholarship)

That’s awesome! I will definitely look for it when I am done with my PhD in 2 years from now… its near future to me! Hope they will still advertise positions.

Well, from what I’ve seen – universities are one of the bigger (visual) employers of international workers in Norway. I reckon you could even look out for jobs now and apply so you can secure one for when you want it.
