This is an opportunity to accelerate your research career while living in the urban research city of Tromsø, uniquely located at the top of the world surrounded by some of Europe’s last pristine wild nature. 

This call is one of 70 from pre-selected supervisors at UiT The Arctic University of Norway through the “Arctic MSCA-PF program”. Successful postdoc candidates will be invited for a three-day MSCA-PF symposium June 3-5, 2025 (hybrid physical/digital event, see details at https://uit.no/arcticmsca/programstructure).

Specifically, she explores the factors that promote the successful integration of immigrants and contribute to the development of thriving multicultural communities. Additionally, she examines the impact of economic and social inequalities on individuals' self-respect. She is also actively engaged in several large-scale cross-national research projects on gender, investigating the factors that lead to the underrepresentation of men in communal roles, with a particular emphasis on masculinity.
