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!

On any celebration table in Norway you can always find a Norwegian layer cake (bløtkake). What better way to celebrate Norwegian Constitution Day than with fresh cream, wild berries and a little bit of sponge in between.
How Norway became a country is shrouded in mystery and folklore. The most well known tale is of Harald Hårfagre who gathered the small kingdoms of the north into a unified nation in 872AD – and of course, this story is about love.
There is an opposition in everything. At the darkest time of the year, we celebrate Christmas. And at the exact opposite end, when the midnight sun is at its highest, we celebrate Midsummer.
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.
Towards the water in a beautiful pocket of leafy oak trees is the Byneset Church.

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.
