3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biomedicine
Summary of PhD Program:
At the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Biomedicine, a full-time PhD-position is available for a period of three (3) years. The position is part of the project “Novel genetic integrin a11 mouse models: closing in on cardiac fibrosis ”, funded by Nasjonalforeningen for folkhelsen. In the group of Prof. D. Gullberg, there is an interest in understanding the role of integrin alpha11 in tissue and tumor fibrosis. In a close collaboration with groups at the University of Oslo the and University of Oulu, Finland, the group has an ongoing collaboration to investigate the role of integrin alpha11 in human and mouse cardiac fibrosis.
Application Deadline: 15th September 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Geodynamics and Surface Processes
Summary of PhD Program:
There is a vacancy for a PhD Research Fellow in Geodynamics and Surface Processes: 3D evolution of foreland fold-and-thrust belts, links between deposition, salt tectonics and climate, including orography, southern Pyrenees at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Bergen. The position is for a fixed-term period of 3 years with the possibility of a 4 th year with compulsory other work (e.g. teaching duties at the Department). The EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network for Climate-Tectonics Interactions (INITIATE, https://www.initiate-dn.eu/) comprises thirteen PhD projects.
Application Deadline: 15th September 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Geodynamics and Surface Processes
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project aims to quantify and model the 3D evolution of the southern Andes foreland foldand-thrust belt. The structural style of the foreland fold and thrust belt (FTB) as observed in the external parts of the Andes shows significant along strike variability in width, structural style, and topography that appears linked to pre-existing structure (i.e., the so-called broken foreland and extensional inheritance), to variations in available shale and / or salt decollements, and to variable sediment input.
Application Deadline: 15th September 2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in high-resolution sedimentary dynamics of rifts during rapid climate change
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project aims to investigate the stratigraphic signature of rift basins with respect to the role of short-term (<100 kyr) climate change on syn-rift depositionalsystems orthe coupling between climate-driven changes in surface processes (erosion/sediment supply) and rift deformation. The initial objective is to analyse the sedimentology and stratigraphy of an active rift where it is possible to constrain tectonic and climatic controls at high resolution, and where the sediment source areas are still preserved, such as the Corinth Rift, Greece.
Application Deadline: 15th September 2024

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Geodynamics and Surface Processes
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project aims to quantify and model the 3D response of active rift evolution to surface processes in the Corinth Rift system. The currently active Corinth Rift is one of the best documented rift systems on Earth with high resolution mapping of both onshore and offshore fault and basin structure constraining its evolution. The rift system localizes deformation in the Gulf of Corinth with earlier rift faults onshore towards the south. However, it is unclear what controls the migration of rift faults in time space and progressive localisation of deformation.
Application Deadline: 15th September 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Experimental Particle Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
The research work is related to the ATLAS experiment at CERN and is to be performed within the ATLAS group at the Department. Currently the group is involved in searches for supersymmetry and other signatures of Dark Matter as well as studies of the CP properties of the Higgs boson. The group focuses on final states containing several tau-leptons. Furthermore, the group takes part in ATLAS upgrade, with participation in the ITk-Pixels project, with responsibilities concerning testing and delivery of pixel modules for the ITk.
Application Deadline: 1st September 2024
9. 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: 1st September 2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Organometallic and Homogeneous Catalysis
Summary of PhD Program:
Ammonia is the most important ingredient in the production of artificial fertilizers and is also a very promising carbon-free energy carrier. Ammonia is produced via the so-called Haber-Bosch process, which requires high temperatures and pressures using hydrogen from natural gas. The research group works to make ammonia production more sustainable and environmentally friendly and develops catalysts and processes for the synthesis of ammonia directly from water and nitrogen. The research fellow’s project is part of this work, and the scholarship holder will, together with other researchers in the project group, design, synthesize, test, and immobilize new catalysts for the conversion of nitrogen and water into ammonia.
Application Deadline: 26th August 2024
11. Fully Funded PhD Position in applied and computational mathematics
Summary of PhD Program:
The significant presence of minerals, e.g., lithium (Li), in deep geothermal brines, combined with increasing demands of rare minerals, opens for co-production of geothermal energy and minerals. The PhD Research Fellow will in collaboration with the project team develop mathematical models and numerical approaches for compositional reactive transport required to assess the potential of geothermal energy and mineral co-production from deep hydrothermal systems. This includes the modelling of case-studies for co-production of specific minerals. Software development in the project will expand on the open-source software framework PorePy (github.com/pmgbergen/porepy), which already has strong capabilities in modelling of compositional multiphase flow.
Application Deadline: 26th August 2024
