1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Smart logistics for efficient fabrication of offshore wind farms
Summary of PhD Program:
The offshore wind industry presents a significant opportunity for Norwegian shipyards to contribute to the green transition. To further strengthen offshore wind as a sustainable source of energy, efficient fabrication and assembly of massive wind turbine substructures will be crucial. However, the yards’ traditional one-of-a-kind production struggles to meet this demand. The challenge lies in balancing the unique engineering needs of each wind farm project with the need for cost-effective mass production.
Application Deadline: 22nd September 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in hydro-morphodynamical modelling
Summary of PhD Program:
This specific PhD project focuses on the hydro-morphodynamical modelling. Longshore sediment transport has a significant impact on the morphological changes of the coast. Such changes may lead to critical conditions for cross-shore sediment transport and contribute to soil instability and coastal protection failures. In order to account for the large-scale sediment transport under wave and current effects, a computationally efficient numerical model will be used. The simulated large-scale morphological evolution can be used to identify extreme sediment transport events and connected to the particle framework.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Characterization of Electric Insulation Systems under Power Electronic Converter Stresses
Summary of PhD Program:
The work of this project will be associated with the project SwoP (Impact of switched voltage waveforms on power components and grids), which is a collaborative project involving NTNU, SINTEF, and several national and international industry partners. The prospective candidate will be part of a project team that works in close collaboration with SINTEF and industry partners. The PhD Candidate will be employed at NTNU, and the workplace will be in Trondheim, in connection with this research project.
Application Deadline: 15th September 2024
4. 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: 10th September 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Project management for sustainable health care environments
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a PhD candidate with a passion for sustainability and eagerness to develop deeper understanding of how practice can continue to implement sustainability in complex building construction projects. Our focus is on how hospitals in Norway can move in a more sustainable direction when financial resources are restricted and implement changes that ensure that built health care environments contribute to a sustainable, circular and regenerative world. Relevant themes for this PhD candidate include decision-making, users’ needs, innovation, organisational learning and the like.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Environmental Humanities, Language Education and Artificial Intelligence
Summary of PhD Program:
The Department of Teacher Education, Section for English and Foreign Languages, offers a full-time, 3-year position as a Ph.D. candidate to take part in the project “Climate Change, Language Education, and AI” in cooperation with the research group on technology and learning in education: NTED-DIGIT. The project leaders are Associate Professor Tom Nurmi, Associate Professor Fredrik Mørk Røkenes, and Postdoctoral Researcher Han Han.
Application Deadline: 2nd September 2024
7. 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: 2nd September 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Modern European Migration History
Summary of PhD Program:
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU, Trondheim) is offering two PhD positions within the Department of Modern History and Society. These positions are part of the ERC project “InternalFortress: Regulating European Freedom of Movement within the Nation-State, 1950-1980,” which will trace the history of migration as part of the early process of European integration. Each PhD position will focus on one national case study in either France or West Germany, and applicants should specify which case they would like to examine in the research statement.
Application Deadline: 1st September 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in applied physics/fluid mechanics
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD candidate will be primarily affiliated with the research project “Small flows with big consequences: Wave-, Turbulence- and Shear current-Driven mixing under a water surface” (WaTurSheD) financed by the European Research Council (ERC), whose overall goal is to understand the mutual interactions between waves, currents and turbulence (WCT) in the uppermost layer of the ocean through experimental, numerical and theoretical research.
