This project offers an excellent opportunity for scholars interested in anthroponymy, cultural history, historical demography, religion, social values, and naming practices to contribute to a large-scale, historically grounded investigation of personal naming.
Open Positions
NTNU is inviting applications for:
Two Postdoctoral positions in History
One PhD Research Fellow position in History
The successful candidates will work on historical datasets of given names and explore how naming choices reflected ideological, religious, cultural, and societal transformations across Europe during the long nineteenth century and early twentieth century.
Research Focus
The project centers on questions such as:
How did parental values and beliefs shape first-name choices?
What social, religious, or political meanings were embedded in naming practices?
How did naming conventions change across time, regions, and social groups?
These themes place the project at the intersection of onomastics, social history, cultural history, and historical sociology.
Application Deadline
🗓 March 15
