Mobility fellowships for Postdoctoral Researchers

The Nordic Centre of Excellence: The Nordic Welfare State –
Historical Foundations and Future Challenges (NordWel) announces
mobility fellowships for postdoctoral researchers working within the
research themes of the Centre. NordWel is a multi-disciplinary,
cross-national research network of seven partner units in Nordic
universities. It is financed by the Nordic Centre of Excellence
(NCoE) Programme on Welfare Research. The Centre is organized around
five theme groups gathering researchers from different disciplines of
historical and social research:

1) Religion, Lutheranism and the Nordic Welfare State Model
2) The National Welfare State: Citizenship and Democracy
3) Epistemic Communities: Knowledge and Social Interests in the
Making of the Nordic Welfare
4) The Value Systems and Legitimacy in the Nordic Welfare State
Model
5) The Normative Charges of Work: The Labour Market and the Welfare
State

Research Agenda of NordWel

In the Centre the welfare state is understood as the locus of many
intertwining changes. Researchers of the Centre attempt to reach
beyond research settings in which “the Nordic model” would be seen
merely as a target for new challenges or as a mode of responding to
them. Instead, challenges and responses are conceived of as dynamics
of change in the welfare states, which can be fruitfully examined by
focusing on their multi-layered historicity.

In the Centre the multi-layered historicity of the Nordic welfare
state is studied firstly, by investigating how different historical
layers, developed in different periods of time and mediated through
mentalities, traditions, values and epistemic practices, are present
in the formal and informal rules and norms of the Nordic welfare
states and, secondly, by conducting a cross-disciplinary discussion
on how these historical experiences and institutions influence the
ways in which the current transformations are conceived of and dealt
with as political, economic and cultural challenges.

Postdoctoral researcher mobility fellowships

Postdoctoral mobility fellowships are available for researchers
affiliated to a university or research institute in Nordic and other
countries. NordForsk guidelines presuppose cross-border mobility,
i.e. the visited institution must be in another country than the
applicant’s home institution. Researchers with mobility fellowships
will be incorporated into the activities of the given partner unit.

The fellowship covers a full-time salary in line with the rules of
the recruiting institution and country.  Fellows with family may
apply for an additional family allowance. The family allowance is
applied for with a separate application after a positive decision on
mobility fellowship.
