Until 21 November this year, the English title Adjunct Associate Professor was used for førsteamanuensis II and Adjunct Professor was used for Professor II. Due to a variety of issues, the Meeting of the Deans at UiO on 18 October 2023 concluded that the following English titles can also be used for førsteamanuensis II and professor II:

  • Førsteamanuensis II – Associate professor II
  • Professor II – Professor II

These titles will now be used by the Faculty. The Meeting of the Deans also decided that the English title for forsker I (SKO 1183) will remain Senior Researcher. We would like to remind you that researchers under job code SKO 1183 can be registered with a personal title of “Seniorforsker”/”Senior Researcher” by contacting: the Payroll Office.
