1. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in Contested frontiers of settler states
Summary of PhD Program:
There are vacancies for two PhD positions at the Department of Comparative Politics. Each position is for a fixed-term period of 4 years. Of that period, at least 75% will be devoted to PhD training and research as an integral member of the exciting ERC project “Contested Frontiers: Understanding the constitutional politics of settler-state peripheries” (ConFront). The other 25% may involve teaching, supervision, and administrative tasks at the department.
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
2. 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. Read more about the project here. A detailed project plan is available upon request.
The project consists of five team members and is led by Trond-Mohn-Fellow Jana Birke Belschner. The successful candidates will be based in Bergen. An ideal start-up date is during the Autumn semester and no later than 1.12.24. They will actively collaborate with other team members in implementing the project’s work packages and will participate in the department’s research group on citizens, opinion, representation, and elections (CORE).
Application Deadline: 2nd August 2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Ultrasound Acoustics
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project has work title Wideband Methods for Complex Acoustic Waveguides. The work will be carried out with main supervisor at University of Bergen in planned collaboration with external partners. This is an excellent opportunity to work with ultrasound acoustics and signal analysis in the scientific forefront, in short distance to industrial applications.
Several acoustic methods are used for non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring (SHM) of mechanical constructions. One family of such methods monitor the integrity of bar-, plate-, and pipe-like elastic structures by means of guided ultrasonic waves (GUW). Transmitting ultrasound transducers excite GUW propagation modes in the structure. Receiving transducers are used to detect changes in scattering, signal amplitudes, or phase (travel time). Such signal changes carry information about events and processes such as, e.g., crack formation, dimensional changes, delamination, marine growth, scale and wax formation, corrosion, and erosion.
Application Deadline: 14th June 2024
4. 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 four (4) years. The position include 25 % required duties such as teaching or course assistance, depending on the demands at the department.
The position is part of the ongoing project Research Council of Norway project (2024-2027) “Impaired microcirculation and tissue hypoxia as a possible mechanism in ME/CFS”, and is funded by the University of Bergen
We offer the unique opportunity to work with state-of-the-art techniques and link basic research with clinical sciences. The close cooperation with the facilities of the Haukeland University Hospital will allow you to push the boundaries of classical medical research. The preferred start is autumn 2024.
Application Deadline: 5th June 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Conditions and Ageing
Summary of PhD Program:
At the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Global Public Health and Primary Care (IGS), a full-time PhD position is available for a period of four (4) years or max 4 months after completed the PhD degree, if this is achieved within a shorter time than four years. The positions include 25 % required duties such as teaching, exam work or supervision, depending on the demands at the department.
The position is funded by the University of Bergen (UiB) and is a part of the recently established Centre for Complex Conditions and Ageing (CC.AGE), financed by the Trond Mohn Foundation. CC.AGE is a part of the Centre for Elderly and Nursing Home Medicine (SEFAS), led by Professor Bettina S. Husebø. SEFAS has 15 employees and is growing rapidly with several new researcher positions. SEFAS has its offices at the Alrek Health Cluster with high focus on innovation, interprofessional collaboration, user involvement, and collaboration with industry partners. CC.AGE has close collaboration with the Department of Informatics, UiB; Centre for Nutrition, Department of Clinical Medicine, UiB, and Bergen Centre for Ethics and Priority Setting in Health (BCEPS), UiB.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in space physics and atmospheric dynamics
Summary of PhD Program:
The candidate will work in the research group in space physics focusing on particle precipitation. The group explores how energetic particle precipitation can affect the chemistry and dynamics of the neutral atmosphere in the polar region. Energetic electrons and protons, trapped in the Earth’s magnetic field, can collide with gases in the atmosphere. These collisions initiate several chemical reactions leading to the production of NOx and HOx gases, which in turn can reduce the ozone concentration. Ozone is important in the energy budget at these altitudes. Hence changing the concentration of ozone at 50 km affects temperature, winds, and wave propagation in complex feedback loops.
The project seeks to study how the impact of energetic electron precipitation depends on the atmospheric state. The middle atmosphere has cooled and mean meridional circulation has accelerated in recent decades resulting from climate change. The pathways how this can influence the responses related to particle precipitation is still largely unknown. The work will involve use of chemistry-climate model WACCM. This is a unique opportunity to work in a challenging and cross-disciplinary project which will enhance our understanding on how the Earth’s atmosphere is linked to space.
