Ph.D. Scholarship: investigating art in software - software in art.

One Ph.D. scholarship is offered in the area of software engineering at the
Department of Computer and Information Science (IDI) in the Faculty of
Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, The
Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

The research context of this work is to empirically investigate software
developed for artistic purposes. More information about this context can be
found at http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~letizia

We look for a candidate who has a master degree in informatics or similar
and have strong enough marks to be accepted as a PhD. The ideal candidate
can document knowledge, experience and reflection around research methods
and their application to empirical investigations in public or industrial
settings.

Non Scandinavian speaking persons can apply provided they can document
willingness to learn Norwegian language and culture. The candidate will be
affiliated to IDI. The candidate will have to be resident in Trondheim.

Award holders at NTNU are normally appointed for 4 years with 25 % of the
time spent on specified work. This work is primarily linked to teaching and
is usually divided so that a relatively larger part is done in the first
half of the period of the appointment.

The appointment will be made in accordance with the current regulations
dated 10.06.03 with supplementary rules of 08.09.04 with guidelines for
scholarship appointments in universities and polytechnics. The goal of the
announced positions is to obtain a PhD degree. Applicants must agree to
participate in organised doctoral study programmes within the period of the
appointment. The successful applicant must agree to the conditions laid down
for public employees. A contract will be drawn up regarding the period of
appointment and work-related duties for award holders.

The national labour force must reflect the composition of the population to
the greatest possible extent. It is therefore a major political objective to

background. Immigrants are encouraged to apply for this post.

NTNU wants to increase the proportion of women in its scientific posts.
Women are encouraged to apply.

The application must contain information about education, examinations and
previous experience. Certified copies of testimonies and documents must be
