PhD position summary/title: Doctoral Research Fellow associated with the project “Dressing the Saints”
How would you dress a saint in art? Working within a historically unparalleled amalgam of an interconnected world and regional religious- and legal reforms, Netherlandish artists active at the dawn of the ʻfirst globalisationʼ were among the first to create consummate solutions to this question. Re-conceptualizing hermeneutical geographies they ordered anew the ever-expanding ʻworld of thingsʼ into their religious scenes. The recently funded project “Dressing the Saints: Gendering and Othering in Netherlandish Art at the Dawn of a Globalized World” (DRESS) provides a novel research agenda for art history and material culture studies, working from the hypothesis that before the conception of non-European lands as an ʻagreeable exotic worldʼ, all textiles enrobing bodies of the heavenly hosts harboured dynamic and flexible ontologies.
Applying a multidisciplinary approach that cross-fertilizes art history, Kleiderkunde (visual anthropology), archival studies, careful interpretation of data from recent advances in art technology and re-created historical artistic practices on art works, DRESS breaks new methodological ground by (1) highlighting the agency of the artist, as painter, sculptor and poet; and by (2) probing the interpretive potential from the unheeded descriptions of costumes worn by the saintsʼ ʻavatarsʼ in religious plays. The project is divided in three inter-connected work packages: “Beyond Allure: Dressing the Saints in Netherlandish Altarpieces, 1480-1530” (WP1), “Dressing the Other: The Black Magus in Netherlandish Art, 1480-1530” (WP2), “The Material Magdalene in the Early Modern Parish” (WP3), and a coda, “ʼAll that Arachneʼs Art Produces Fullyʼ: Netherlandish Poet-Painters on Textile Metaphors” (WP4).

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral Research Fellowship associated with the ERC-funded project “ECOART”
The doctoral research fellowship is available for a dissertation project that focuses on the artistic use and visual representation of geological resources such as gemstones, clays and metals in Mughal India. The focus of the dissertation will be a comprehensive investigation of the extraction, exchange, and artistic uses of one or more geological resources for example through research on extant artifacts that implement mined goods as well as visual documentations of mining itself. The dissertation will tackle how selected geological resources informed aesthetic practices in the Mughal Empire and beyond and how knowledge on clays, gemstones, metals or other mined goods was developed and articulated in art and artisanship. Possible examples include but are not limited to mined pigments in Mughal painting such as ground malachite and gold powder; jade, rock crystal, diamonds, rubies, and other gemstones used by Indian craftspeople in the making of collectible and wearable objects; Indo-Portuguese silverworks and other examples of metalwork from workshops across highly cosmopolitan sites like Gujarat and Goa.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral Research Fellowship in Developmental Psycholinguistics
The doctoral candidate will work on an individual research project within Working Package 1, which aims to understand foreign-accent processing by examining neural dynamics, individual factors, and their impact on cognition across the lifespan. The individual research project will focus on the role of early accent exposure in children’s cognitive and language development, investigating the mechanisms and dynamics of accented speech processing. While some studies have shown that exposure to linguistic diversity in early childhood can lead to delayed word recognition and comprehension, other research suggests potential benefits from early exposure to accented speech.
The candidate will evaluate the effects of regional versus foreign-accented exposure in early childhood on the development of lexical representations and cognitive skills. Specifically, the project will explore the cognitive costs associated with accent adaptation and accent switching. To address these research aims, the successful candidate will employ eye-tracking techniques. The work will take place in the Socio-Cognitive Lab, which is equipped with child-friendly eye-tracking facilities and a welcoming room, among other amenities.
Deadline : 14th November 2025
(04) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Fellowship in Computational Systems Immunology
The candidate will develop and employ a variety of computational biology techniques to perform antibody design both on the sequence and structural level, developing and employing machine-learning tools for predicting antibody-epitope binding. In silico antibody design is a long-standing computational and immunological problem. Improving computational methods for antibody recognition is crucial for the development of personalized and precision medicine approaches such as next-generation infection, cancer, and autoimmune immunodiagnostics and immunotherapeutics. The candidate will be expected to closely collaborate with machine learning experts, statisticians, computational and experimental immunologists, as well as clinicians.
The Greiff Lab focuses on the quantitative understanding of adaptive immune receptor (antibody and T-cell receptor) specificity using high-throughput experimental and computational immunology combined with machine learning. The long-term aim is to conceive in-silico novel immunodiagnostics and immunotherapeutics using the disease-diagnostic information and therapeutic potential that is directly encoded into adaptive immune receptors. The advent of high-throughput sequencing has enabled an unprecedented accumulation of big immune repertoire sequencing data. However, as of yet, we lack the computational methods that help us decode the immune grammar that translates immune sequencing data to immune state diagnosis and prediction of antigen binding. We believe that learning to read and write the immune repertoire language is key for the development of entirely novel, nature-inspired precision medicine immunodiagnostics and immunotherapeutics. Recent publications by Dr. Greiff may be found on google scholar.

About The University of Oslo, Norway – Official Website
The University of Oslo, until 1939 named the Royal Frederick University is the oldest university in Norway, located in the Norwegian capital of Oslo. Until 1 January 2016 it was the largest Norwegian institution of higher education in terms of size, now surpassed only by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The Academic Ranking of World Universities has ranked it the 58th best university in the world and the third best in the Nordic countries. In 2015, the Times Higher Education World University Rankings ranked it the 135th best university in the world and the seventh best in the Nordics. While in its 2016, Top 200 Rankings of European universities, the Times Higher Education listed the University of Oslo at 63rd, making it the highest ranked Norwegian university.
The university has approximately 27,700 students and employs around 6,000 people. Its faculties include (Lutheran) theology (with the Lutheran Church of Norway having been Norway’s state church since 1536), law, medicine, humanities, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, dentistry, and education. The university’s original neoclassical campus is located in the centre of Oslo; it is currently occupied by the Faculty of Law. Most of the university’s other faculties are located at the newer Blindern campus in the suburban West End. The Faculty of Medicine is split between several university hospitals in the Oslo area. The university also includes some formally independent, affiliated institutes such as the Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research (CICERO), NKVTS and the Frisch Centre.
The university was founded in 1811 and was modeled after the University of Copenhagen and the recently established University of Berlin. It was originally named for King Frederick VI of Denmark and Norway, and received its current name in 1939. The university is informally also known as Universitetet (“the university”), having been the only university in Norway, until 1946 and was commonly termed “The Royal Frederick’s” (Det Kgl. Frederiks), before the name change.
The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in the university’s Atrium, from 1947 to 1989 and will be so again in 2020, making it the only university in the world to be involved in awarding a Nobel Prize. Since 2003, the Abel Prize is awarded in the Atrium. Five researchers affiliated with the university have been Nobel laureates.
