What we offer
A full-time position as a Senior Research Adviser. We offer competitive salaries and a contract with a maximum length of four years. Subject to further agreement, the contract can be extended for up to another four years. According to the agreement "Avtale om rettstilling for samnordiske institusjoner og deres ansatte", you are entitled to a leave of absence from your present position for the duration of your employment at Nordregio if you are employed by the State in a Nordic country.
