2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The position is part of large international project consortium led by the University of Manitoba, Canada, funded by the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF), with partners from Norway, Germany, Ghana, and the East Africa regional Lake Victoria Fisheries Organisation (LVFO). The Norwegian component (including the Postdoc position) is funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN). The project has a timeline of 3 years, starting in September/October 2024.
The core task of the Postdoc position is to lead in developing a detailed quantitative value chain analysis of the trade in small fish from Lake Victoria, East Africa in collaboration with local researchers through the LVFO and building on preliminary results of the recently completed SmallFishFood project (https://smallfishfood.org/). The collaboration will include a dedicated local PhD fellow at the University of Dar es Salaam, who is well acquainted with Lake Victoria. We also expect close collaboration with a German funded Postdoc who will work on similar issues in West Africa (i.e. Mauretania, Senegal, Ghana). In addition, we expect the position to allocate around 10% of the time in assisting the Norwegian project coordinator with project administration.
Application Deadline: 31st May 2024

3. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Current data-driven Artificial Intelligence – Machine Learning (AI-ML) approaches to assess extreme weather and climate events struggle to cope with events outside their training regimes (such as unprecedented extremes under climate change). Ensembles of future climate scenarios provide a wealth of data for training, but we lack sufficient understanding of the circulation precursors of extreme events (floods, droughts, blizzards, windstorms) to employ such simulations in a reliable fashion. This understanding is key for advancing our ability to both simulate and assess extreme events using numerical models. Current approaches for precursor identification rely on expert knowledge of meteorology and climate dynamics to distill information from reanalysis products and ensemble forecasts, picking out the circulation conditions and features that tend to precede extreme events.

4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
This postdoctoral position is linked with a research effort aiming to apply cryptographic methods for studying the security aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Cryptographic approaches will be tested for attacks on AI and existing protection methods in cryptography will be applied for security of AI. The candidate will have the freedom to explore new related topics and drive the research in the direction of security of AI and cryptographic elements.
Application Deadline: 21st May 2024
5. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Manifold learning is a crucial concept in the fields of machine learning and pattern recognition, because it enables the discovery and representation of underlying structures and patterns in high-dimensional data. In real-world scenarios, datasets often exhibit intricate manifold structures and the pursuit of capturing these complex geometries within the data has proven to be a challenging task for many traditional manifold learning algorithms. While it may not always be possible to fully learn the underlying manifold, it is often possible to learn some characteristics of the manifolds. One such characteristic is the Reeb graph, a topological construct that reflects the change of level sets of a real-valued filter function on a manifold.

8. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The postdoc position is available within the “Algorithmic Foundations of Trustworthy AI” project. This collaborative endeavor, spanning the Department of Informatics and the Department of Information Science and Media Studies, aims to develop novel theories for understanding, developing, and designing socially aware algorithms. Successful candidates will actively contribute to research on reconciling social parameters and algorithmic efficiency, as well as the development and application of formal social models.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
9. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Development of new pharmaceuticals requires efficient navigation of the vast chemical space. This may be achieved via heuristic computational methods, also termed “de novo” design methods, which may optimize toward desirable drug candidates without having to explore the complete chemical space. Via an interdisciplinary approach that includes informatics, computational chemistry, organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, computational biology, and biomedicine, the project team will develop radically new de novo molecular design methods and exploit these toward the discovery of inhibitors drug targets for cancer and antibiotics. Specifically, the team will develop methods that integrate expert knowledge early on, via machine-learning models and on-the-fly human intervention in the otherwise automated process.
Application Deadline: 21st May 2024
10. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Norwegian National Seismic Network operates a network of more than 40 seismic stations across Norway to monitor earthquake activity in the region. The data are used in various research activities to better understand the distribution and nature of earthquakes. The coastal areas of both southern and northern Norway are the most active on the mainland. Study of earthquakes offshore southern Norway is important due to the vicinity to hydrocarbon extraction, and planned CO2 injection. Northern Norway is known for its intraplate swarm activity that has been studied in detail over recent years. The Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard presents an active intraplate area that has been investigated to understand large earthquakes within the regional tectonic context. Offshore, the Mid-Atlantic ridge plate boundary falls into the region of monitoring interest, producing the largest earthquakes close to Norway.

11. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Center for Digital Narrative focuses on algorithmic narrativity, interactive environments, materialities, and shifting cultural contexts in which digital narratives are received and processed. The CDN investigates the ways that the interactions of human authors and non-human agents renew narrative forms, how digital narratives have changed over time, and how textual materialities and cultural contexts are now reshaping the use and function of digital narrative. The activities of the Center include research group meetings, interactions with international research leaders in digital narrative, researcher training, PhD summer schools, frequent symposia and exhibitions.

13. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Centre for the Science of Learning and Technology (SLATE) investigates the technological, pedagogical, cultural, ethical, and legal aspects of learning analytics (LA) and artificial intelligence in education (AIEd) and promote the responsible use of technology in education. The recent release of generative AI tools has led to their adoption in research, a phenomenon that is not yet well understood. Together with possibilities of creativity, productivity, and new multimodal tools to support knowledge creation, fundamental questions of epistemic risks and illusions of understanding of scientific knowledge arise. To further our understanding, this position is to carry out research on the adoption of generative AI in doctoral (Ph.D.) education.
