DOCTORAL AND MASTERS FELLOWSHIPS / АСПИРАНТУРА И МАГИСТРАТУРА
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FOUR-YEAR DOCTORAL STUDENT POSITION, ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND SUSTAINABLE ARCTIC COMMUNITIES
The Arctic is facing multifaceted challenges in terms of ecological, economic, political and socio-cultural sustainable development. In many places, the development of extractive industries is in a nexus where multiple land use interests and cumulative environmental impacts are negotiated, historical developments meet emerging future expectations, and environmental wellbeing touches the wellbeing and socio-cultural continuity of Arctic communities. Extractive industries represent as well a phenomenon where local meets global, south meets north and techno-scientific approaches encounter local understanding and values. Such questions become relevant as what kind of information is needed and who produce the focal information. Successful PhD student applicant will carry out research on these issues, which are crucial, for example, to the development of such policy instruments as community based monitoring and co-management practices that aim at the empowerment of arctic indigenous and other communities.
The four-year PhD student position will begin in 2017 and s/he will be part of a group of PhD students within the Nordic Centre of Excellence ‘Resource Extraction and Sustainable Arctic Communities’ (REXSAC) funded by NordForsk. The PhD position of this call will be based at the University of Oulu, but the position will necessitate studies and visits to other partners and close collaboration with the fields of research in REXSAC. Educational and research backgrounds in anthropology, geography and history are considered beneficial as well as experience of cooperation with other fields of science and empirical field based research and language skills related to any of the Nordic countries including Greenland.
About University of Oulu
The University of Oulu, located in Northern Finland, promotes advanced research in five focus areas. The doctoral position of this call is related especially to the focus area of Understanding humans in change. The University, with its 10 faculties and more than 70 specialist disciplines, cooperates closely with industry, commerce and society in general, and has broad connections with many international research and education institutions.
Doctoral student will belong to the University of Oulu Graduate School (UniOGS) which provides the framework and conditions for high-quality, research-driven doctoral education at the University of Oulu. UniOGS promotes the development of structured Doctoral Programmes covering the areas of Technology, Natural Sciences, Biosciences, Health Sciences, and Human Sciences, and nurtures effective student-supervisor relationships founded on both motivation and commitment. UniOGS thus aims to create a favourable environment for the planning, execution and timely completion of doctoral education tailored for each student.

The Faculty of Social Sciences at Lund University is one of the leading education and research institutions in Sweden and operates both in Lund and Helsingborg.
The Department of Gender Studies is a small and dynamic department that has expanded and developed its research profile since 1978. It has played a central role at Lund University in moving gender analysis from the margins in most disciplines to the centre of social and cultural analysis.

The Department of Gender Studies has also served as a central arena for the creation and institutionalization of networks for researchers in the field of Gender Studies as well as for the interaction between the research community and civil society. Our research and teaching profile are based on the notion that social and cultural processes always are gendered, as well as on the understanding that gender is intersectionally connected to other social categories, such as class, ‘race’/ethnicity, sexuality, disability and age.

FOUR-YEAR DOCTORAL STUDENT POSITION, ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND SUSTAINABLE ARCTIC COMMUNITIES
The Arctic is facing multifaceted challenges in terms of ecological, economic, political and socio-cultural sustainable development. In many places, the development of extractive industries is in a nexus where multiple land use interests and cumulative environmental impacts are negotiated, historical developments meet emerging future expectations, and environmental wellbeing touches the wellbeing and socio-cultural continuity of Arctic communities. Extractive industries represent as well a phenomenon where local meets global, south meets north and techno-scientific approaches encounter local understanding and values. Such questions become relevant as what kind of information is needed and who produce the focal information. Successful PhD student applicant will carry out research on these issues, which are crucial, for example, to the development of such policy instruments as community based monitoring and co-management practices that aim at the empowerment of arctic indigenous and other communities.
The four-year PhD student position will begin in 2017 and s/he will be part of a group of PhD students within the Nordic Centre of Excellence ‘Resource Extraction and Sustainable Arctic Communities’ (REXSAC) funded by NordForsk. The PhD position of this call will be based at the University of Oulu, but the position will necessitate studies and visits to other partners and close collaboration with the fields of research in REXSAC. Educational and research backgrounds in anthropology, geography and history are considered beneficial as well as experience of cooperation with other fields of science and empirical field based research and language skills related to any of the Nordic countries including Greenland.
About University of Oulu
The University of Oulu, located in Northern Finland, promotes advanced research in five focus areas. The doctoral position of this call is related especially to the focus area of Understanding humans in change.

Doctoral student will belong to the University of Oulu Graduate School (UniOGS) which provides the framework and conditions for high-quality, research-driven doctoral education at the University of Oulu. UniOGS promotes the development of structured Doctoral Programmes covering the areas of Technology, Natural Sciences, Biosciences, Health Sciences, and Human Sciences, and nurtures effective student-supervisor relationships founded on both motivation and commitment. UniOGS thus aims to create a favourable environment for the planning, execution and timely completion of doctoral education tailored for each student.

The Faculty of Social Sciences at Lund University is one of the leading education and research institutions in Sweden and operates both in Lund and Helsingborg.
The Department of Gender Studies is a small and dynamic department that has expanded and developed its research profile since 1978. It has played a central role at Lund University in moving gender analysis from the margins in most disciplines to the centre of social and cultural analysis.

Объявлен сбор заявок на поступление в школу авторов «Учи ученого». Конкурсный отбор для участия в проекте проводится журналом «Россия в глобальной политике» при участии Высшей школы экономики и при поддержке Российского совета по международным делам.
Слушателями школы авторов журнала «Россия в глобальной политике» могут стать студенты, молодые ученые, научные журналисты и все, кто хочет научиться писать научные статьи для российских и зарубежных журналов, аналитические доклады и журналистские материалы. В числе лекторов — ведущие специалисты по академическому, публицистическому и аналитическому направлениям, которые на своих мастер-классах будут отрабатывать один конкретный навык. После каждого мастер-класса профессиональный редактор будет учить слушателей применять теорию на практике: писать статьи на различные темы, обсуждать ошибки, разбирать домашние задания.
Слушатели школы смогут получить навык академического и публицистического письма. На лекциях ученые и журналисты расскажут об особенностях написания статей как для научных журналов, так и для СМИ, а на практических занятиях ученики вместе с редактором будут разбирать и обсуждать собственные тексты.
Занятия в школе «Учи ученого» проходят в очной форме, в вечернее время 2 раза в месяц (мастер-класс + занятие с редактором) в одном из зданий Высшей школы экономики. Весь курс длится с октября по март. Всего планируется набрать 15 человек. Занятия бесплатные.
Чтобы поступить в школу авторов, надо написать эссе на предложенную в правилах поступления тему (можно написать несколько эссе на разные темы) и заполнить анкету. В сентябре приемная комиссия выберет 15 лучших работ и пригласит их авторов на занятия.
