2. Fully Funded PhD Position in absorption-based CO2 capture focusing on solvent management
Summary of PhD Program:
This position at the Department of Chemical Engineering at NTNU focuses on solvent management technologies for CO2 capture process. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities, and the development and implementation of technologies for CO2 emission reduction is of great importance. Of the various methods to separate CO2 from industrial gases, absorption-based CO2 capture using aqueous alkanolamine solutions has reached the commercial stage.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physical Education and Sport
Summary of PhD Program:
The International Disability Research in Education and Teacher Training (IDRETT) research group has a vacancy for a 3-year PhD position in the Department of Teacher Education within the physical education and sport group. The successful applicant will engage in a research project examining the disability experience of students and recently graduated adults from Norwegian schools with an emphasis on understanding the disability experiences in physical education and sport contexts.
Application Deadline: 12th August 2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Fact Checking/ Information Verification
Summary of PhD Program:
Fact checking or information verification is the basis for many pressing real-world problems such as fake news detection. False information that spreads very fast as news is a growing problem with serious real-world consequences. With the advancements of large language models (LLMs), this issue has become even more important. LLMs have proved themselves very useful in certain tasks and their usage in many areas is increasing. However, these models are not very reliable in means of the truthfulness of the information they generate.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in social anthropology
Summary of PhD Program:
The project may explore issues such as how people understand the role peatlands play in a sustainable future; what it means to restore peatland landscapes in a time of increasing pressure, degradation, and collapse; how people practically involve themselves with peatlands and how such efforts affect their knowledge and understanding; and what peatlands can tell us about the relations between science, policy, and society in times of global environmental change.
Application Deadline: 15th August 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sports Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
As part of the NRC IPN grant “FramSki – The future of responsible skiing” (FramSki), we have a vacancy for a 3-year PhD position at the Senter for Sports Facility and Sports Technology (SIAT), hosted by the NTNU, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The transition to fluorine-free ski waxes in competitive and recreational skiing demands innovative solutions for reducing ski-snow friction. In the FramSki project, we tackle friction at the macro, micro and nano level in an interdisciplinary research project in collaboration with leading industry partners.
Application Deadline: 15th August 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Real Implementation of Model Predictive Control for Building Heating
Summary of PhD Program:
Buildings are energy-flexible in the sense that they can move their loads in time, typically to provide services to the electricity or district heating grids (also called demand response). For instance, one key objective can be to decrease energy use during peak hours while maintaining acceptable comfort for occupants. In cold climates, the space-heating is a dominant load and advanced control can adapt this load by changing the indoor temperature in time. Model Predictive Control (MPC) gets increasing interest in performing this control.
Application Deadline: 15th August 2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Economic Geography, specializing in geographies of labour markets in the energy transition
Summary of PhD Program:
The Department of Geography at NTNU has a 3-year vacancy for a PhD position in economic geography, contributing to the project Making the Green Shift Work for Regions (GSW). Funded by the Research Council of Norway’s Welfare, Culture and Society programme, the GSW project seeks to better integrate localities and regions, labour markets and working lives as central elements within the green shift, rather than merely as outcomes of the energy transition. The overall objective is to help develop a new understanding of how regional labour markets are adapting to the challenge of green shift, using the example of Oil & Gas specialised regions.
Application Deadline: 15th August 2024
11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Aging Models and Reliability of Extruded HVDC Cables for Offshore Power
Summary of PhD Program:
Extruded High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cable systems, a newer alternative to traditional mass impregnated HVDC cables, offer benefits like higher conductor temperature, lower costs, and faster installation. They play a crucial role in expanding cross-border transmission to meet energy-saving targets and reduce CO2 emissions. However, despite their advantages, there’s limited long-term experience with them, posing challenges for ensuring their longevity and conducting effective condition assessments.
Application Deadline: 18th August 2024
12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Reference Systems for a Cyber-Physical Range
Summary of PhD Program:
Cyber Physical Systems are integral to Critical Infrastructures; however, their architectural and operational features are inadequately represented in current cyber ranges. These ranges are often limited in scope or intentionally focused on specific sections of target systems. The intended utilization of the physical reference environments examined, modeled, and integrated in this study will serve two purposes. These include functioning as educational and outreach demonstrators, as well as serving as experimental platforms for research and training endeavors.
Application Deadline: 24th August 2024
13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Gonzalo Cogno Group
Summary of PhD Program:
The institute is part of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at NTNU. It was established as a Centre of Excellence in 2002, 2012, and again in 2023. Our new Centre of Excellence, the Center for Algorithms in the Cortex will be funded for 10 years by the Norwegian Research Council.

Application Deadline: 25th August 2024
14. Fully Funded PhD Position in artistic entrepreneurship
Summary of PhD Program:
We think of artistic entrepreneurship as a dynamic agency that promotes innovative collaboration between artists, designers, researchers, public and private actors, and that transcends traditional boundaries to create new possibilities for action. Artistic entrepreneurship involves a collective effort to act together across sectors, disciplines, and society’s actors. Artistic entrepreneurship encourages shared response, shared production methods and creative solutions, and inspires individuals to address society’s most pressing challenges.
