1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Algorithms
Summary of PhD Program:
You are expected to contribute to leading-edge research in both theoretical and applied algorithms and algorithms engineering, as well as teaching of high international quality. As a PhD student in the department, you will be a part of the ICT research school, enabling interactions with PhD students across various research fields. The school organizes annual meetings and monthly lunches, and provides courses in scientific and application writing. Besides working towards your PhD degree, you will have the opportunity to contribute to teaching, outreach, and other departmental tasks for 25% of your time.
Application Deadline: 11th August 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in applied and computational mathematics – CSSR
Summary of PhD Program:
The successful candidate will contribute to research activities in the CSSR center, and in particular its work package 4. Tasks that are envisioned involve development and analysis of non-linear and linear solvers in the context of multi-model analysis of and simulation of subsurface operations. This development will build on a theoretical foundation from numerical and functional analysis, and as a starting point build on the literature related to preconditioners for Newton methods. Concrete model problems and numerical examples will be used to guide and prototype the development.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Modern Environmental History
Summary of PhD Program:
The position is associated with the Department’s interdisciplinary Environmental Humanities research group. This is an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers in the fields of history, archaeology, cultural studies, linguistics, literature, media studies, political science, social anthropology, science and technology studies, and beyond. The research group’s purpose is to bring scholars together to develop interdisciplinary research projects, to expand members’ professional networks and collaboration across the humanities, and to support environmentally-themed research and other contributions from the humanities disciplines.
Application Deadline: 5th August 2024
4. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in Contested frontiers of settler states
Summary of PhD Program:
The project combines political theory, constitutional law, and comparative politics to understand efforts – usually by Indigenous peoples versus settlers/states – to (re)constitute frontier jurisdictions, especially in the North American Arctic, Fennoscandic north, U.S. Pacific, and Australian tropics. ConFront consists of five team members led by the department’s associate professor of Arctic governance, Aaron Spitzer.
Application Deadline: 5th August 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Visualization
Summary of PhD Program:
The aim of the VASCUL-AID project is to predict the risk of cardiovascular events and progression of the vascular diseases Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) and Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) to influence the course of disease improving the patient’s quality of life and care and assisting clinicians to make better-informed decisions involving the patient. The project will identify patients who are at high risk for AAA growth or PAD progression and cardiovascular events through a trustworthy AI-driven platform (VASCUL-AID) that integrates multi-source parameters including imaging, proteomic and genomic data as well as life-style patient data from wearables to enable personalised vascular disease management. The VASCUL-AID platform consists of AI risk-prediction tools, a patient communication app and a clinical dashboard to support clinical decision-making.
Application Deadline: 4th August 2024
6. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in Comparative Politics
Summary of PhD Program:
The project addresses the impact of demographic change on representative democracy. The growing proportion of senior citizens across European populations increases their influence on elections and policy decisions. How does this affect the political representation of old, young, and future generations’ interests? To assess the impact of demographic change on Generational Political Pluralism in Norway, Europe, and beyond, the project investigates generational cleavages in two integral parts of policymaking: public opinion and political representation. The empirical analyses draw on a combination of observational, behavioural, and experimental data and will use a range of innovative methods like survey experiments, text analysis, and social network analysis to make descriptive and causal inferences.
Application Deadline: 2nd August 2024

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in parasitology
Summary of PhD Program:
One of the biggest challenges for salmon farming is the ectoparasite salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis). Strong spread of the parasite threatens wild salmon and current treatment methods for farmed salmon result in poor fish welfare. The research fellow’s assignment will focus on studying the host-parasite interaction between salmon and salmon lice. Among other things, this will be investigated using gene knock-down of relevant louse genes and infection trials. The knowledge should contribute to enhance our understanding of these interactions which can inform the development of new and effective treatment methods against lice. Various molecular techniques, including high-throughput sequencing, RNA interference, and in situ hybridization will be employed in this study.
Application Deadline: 1st August 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Evolution of Neurotransmitter Receptors
Summary of PhD Program:
Work in the Lynagh group focuses on the evolution, function, and pharmacology of ligand-gated ion channels, receptors that mediate rapid communication between neurons, using molecular phylogenetics, mutagenesis, chemical biology, and electrophysiology. We currently plan to identify and characterize certain families of such receptors in marine invertebrates and compare them to homologous receptors from other animals, including human, with a view to establish novel evolutionary and pharmacological principles. In this PhD project, the candidate will perform electrophysiological experiments, various molecular biology and biochemistry, cell culture, and possibly microscopy and animal maintenance.
Application Deadline: 30th June 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in theoretical physics
Summary of PhD Program:
The theoretical physics group works with a wide range of research in quantum physics, particle physics and nuclear physics. The announced PhD project will deal with the description of strongly interacting systems that are produced in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. QCD jet observables, representing multi-particle long-distance processes, are particularly suited to probe the dynamical evolution of the quark-gluon plasma created in these collisions. The project will focus on developing high-precision calculations of jet observables through a systematic approach based on effective field theory which is highly relevant in the context of future upgrades of the LHC accelerator. It involves developing new computational methods for dealing with relativistic particle propagation in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium background systems. If you are interested in these topics, we encourage you to apply!

10. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in Biomedicine
Summary of PhD Program:
In all living organisms, there is a subset of small coenzyme molecules that participate in thousands of biochemical reactions, thereby enabling and coordinating metabolism. In the course of evolution, the same molecules have attained more and more key roles as regulators of virtually all biological processes, often through posttranslational protein modifications. This is illustrated, for example, by the use of NAD in a multitude of metabolic reactions and at the same time as substrate for ADP-ribosylation and protein deacetylation. The highly interdisciplinary HubMOL project aims to unravel the mechanistic principles of how these hub molecules of life interact to enable and control both metabolism and signaling.
