CONFERENCE 

Competence and Media Convergence programme Coming to terms with the 21st century practices - ICT, competence and cultural change, University of Oslo, 22-23 November 2007. http://www.intermedia.uio.no/cmc2007

POSITION 

Vacancy as fully salaried doctoral student in Leadership, innovation and 
learning at the Faculty of education, University of Oslo, and affiliated 
to the research group Research on workplace learning in the knolwedge 
society (i.e. "Forskning om arbeidslivslæring i kunnskapssamfunnet" - 
FALK). The position is within the field Leadership, innovation and 
learning, with the possibility of further delimitation within this field. 
It is for example important with research on leadership of and within 
change processes, in other words leadership in connection with 
transformation and maintenance of collective knowledge practices.  Such a 
project could be included in FALK research regarding educational 
leadership, which is outstanding in a Norwegian context as well as 
influential even internationally. One trait is that there is a turn 
towards viewing leadership as an activity, rather than as a given 
position. Alternatively the candidate's project may be seen in relation to 
on-going research on organizational learning and innovation focused on 
management- and learning processes in connection with the making of 
innovations. The project's final form and supervisor affiliation will 
decide whether the fellow's workplace will be either  the Institute for 
educational research or the  Institute for teacher development and school 
development.

The position is full time for four years, with 25% of the time reserved 
for ordinary work at the Institute(s). Closing date is 13 November. For 
further information please fell free to e-mail the leader of the research 
group Terje Gronning terje.gronning@ped.uio.no
