Assoc. Prof. Endalew Lijalem Enyew:

I am currently an Associate Professor and leader of the Research Group for Sami and Indigenous Peoples Law at the Faculty of Law of UiT-The Arctic University of Norway. I am also co-leading a collaborative project linked to the Nordic Network of Researchers on Sami and Indigenous Peoples Law (NORSIL).

While my academic qualification spans diverse fields of law and social science, my research for the last decade focuses on the law of the sea, environmental law, human rights law, Indigenous peoples’ rights, climate change and green energy transition vis-à-vis Indigenous peoples' rights, and critical legal theory focusing on Third World approaches to international law (TWAIL). As of today, I have authored and co-authored 24 scientific publications (2 forthcoming) – consisting of 2 books, 9 book chapters, and 12 articles – published in high-impact peer-reviewed journals and book publishers. My recent publication is a book titled "Indigenous Peoples, Marine Space and Resources, and International Law: The Interaction between the International Human Rights Law and the Law of the Sea" (Routledge, 2024). The overall aim of my research is to influence the legal research community and other disciplines, decision-makers, and practitioners thereby contributing to society.

Please send your CV (max 3 pages) and describe a research project that will strengthen and complement the presented research (max 2 pages) to endalew.l.enyew@uit.no by Feb 16th, 2026. Mark your application "Arctic MSCA". Successful candidates will be contacted in late March 2026.
