The Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO) has some new PhD positions at the Institute of Design. Strategic investments from the Ministry of Education in Norway in the wake of COVID-19, has resulted in additional recruitment through existing calls for this autumn 2020 and a doubling of our master’s program intake.
 
Additional proposals are invited towards an existing call for Systems Oriented Design, here:https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/186662/phd-position-in-systems-oriented-design-at-aho
To enable additional applications, the call deadline is extended to 22 June 2020.
 
The additional PhD positions are linked to a number of themes in Systems Oriented Design connected to ongoing research inquiries at the Institute of Design at AHO.
