1. PhD Research Fellow in Experimental Heavy-Ion Physics

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The position is associated with the Norwegian ALICE project at CERN, funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The heavy-ion group of the Department of Physics, University of Oslo, participates in the ALICE experiment, which in 2022 will enter the third round of data taking with ultrarelativistic pp, Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (LHC Run-3), after comprehensive upgrades improving tracking performance and readout speed. During this run period, a huge gain (~ 102 ) in event statistics will enable precision measurements of rare probes like charm and beauty hadrons down to low transverse momentum as well as heavy flavour-tagged jets and their substructure, and provide access to numerous new physics observables. A crucial element in the realization of this physics programme is the development of software frameworks and efficient algorithms for handling the immense amounts of data expected during Run-3. In addition to physics analysis and related software development, the group is also involved in instrumentation activities associated with the ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS) and Forward Calorimeter (FoCal), in collaboration with the heavy-ion groups at the University of Bergen.

2. PhD Research Fellow in Bioanalytical Chemistry

Summary of Doctoral Project:

“ITOM – Integrated technologies for tracking organoid/gastruloid morphogenesis”. Embryonic stem (ES) cell technology has allowed to develop organoid/gastruloids that show features of organ induction, but lack further maturation and show large variations. The field therefore requires high-content tracking tools and algorithms to guide organoid/gastruloid development. The project will use advanced correlative imaging technologies and data analysis to guide the differentiation of ES cell derived organoids/gastruloids. The ITOM project unites three different Centres of Excellence in the Oslo area: HTH-CoE, Njord-CoE and RITMO-CoE. As such, the candidate will be part of a large and closely interacting interdisciplinary team of basic scientists, developmental biologists, chemists, physicists and computational scientists.

8. Doctoral Research Fellow on Scandinavian foreign policy and international aid

Summary of Doctoral Project:

Scandinavian states export criminal justice through their foreign policies and international aid programs. These exports target countries as different as Afghanistan, Colombia, Kosovo, Myanmar, and Uganda and concern issues that range from specific reforms of national criminal justice sectors to broader international initiatives on women’s rights and international justice. Yet, the role of ‘penal exports’ and what it says about Scandinavian foreign policy and position(ing) in the international order has never been explored. Combining insights from global criminology, international relations, and sociology of law, JustExports explores the overall research question ‘How do Scandinavian states engage in penal exports?’ through three sub-questions (1) How do penal exports travel?; (2) What are similarities and differences in Scandinavian states’ foreign policy use of penal exports; and (3) How do geopolitical changes shape the use of penal exports in Scandinavian states’ foreign policy and international aid?

9. Doctoral Research Fellow in Philosophy

Summary of Doctoral Project:

A Doctoral Research Fellowship (SKO 1017) in philosophy is available at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, University of Oslo. The Doctoral Research Fellowship is funded by the Research Council of Norway and is associated with the project The Kantian Foundations of Democracy, 324272 – FORSKER21. The candidate is expected to present a research project closely connected to the main project. Kantian Foundations of Democracy aims to provide the first large-scale analysis of the theory of democracy of the neglected “Kantian School”. These were philosophers active in Germany in the 1790s, and included Erhard, Maimon, Heydenreich, Bergk, Reinhold, Tieftrunk, Feuerbach, Jakob, Reimarus, Schlegel, and the early Fichte. Their theories are notable for bringing out fully the Kantian concepts of right, equality, autonomy, and popular sovereignty; for their sophisticated analysis of enlightenment in the public sphere, and their support for popular revolutionary movements. The aim is not just to gain new historical knowledge, but to contribute to improving our understanding of Kant’s basic principles, as well as those of democracy more broadly.

IDES is a collaboration project between the Institute For Energy Technology (IFE), The Norwegian Defense Research Establishment (FFI) and Department of Technology Systems (ITS) at the University of Oslo, all located at Kjeller outside Oslo, Norway. Energy systems can be complex with many components exhibiting highly dynamic behavior in terms of unpredictability in energy consumption and production. For example, variable renewable energy sources, such as solar power or wind power, are intermittent and can be hard to predict, so dealing with the dynamics in energy systems is a challenge that is expected to receive growing interest in the years to come.

18. PhD Research Fellow in Geosciences

Summary of Doctoral Project:

A 3 years PhD Research Fellowship is available at Department of Geosciences and the Centre for Biogeochemistry in the Anthropocene (CBA) at The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo, Norway. Starting date is no later than 01.10.2022. The Paris agreement defines 2 °C as an upper level of global average temperature increase to avoid “dangerous effects” such as positive feedbacks in the global C-cycle. A major climate feedback of concern is the mobilization of vast amounts of terrestrial C in the boreal biome and their release into the atmosphere as the greenhouse gases CO2 and CH4. Knowledge gaps on biogeochemical feedback mechanisms across the boreal biome, with varying sensitivities to climate-related shifts in ecosystem traits, restrict our ability to make robust predictions of interactions between climate and C cycling (ecosystem metabolism). In particular, microbial and geochemical control of organic matter processing under expected ecosystem transitions, such as vegetation changes and thawing permafrost, are poorly understood.

30. PhD Research Fellow in Cell Biology

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The candidate for this position will work on a project studying mechanisms of adaptation to stress conditions and maintenance of protein homeostasis (proteostasis). Protein homeostasis, requires the coordinated action of a network of cellular pathways that monitor protein translation, folding, and degradation in order to ensure the integrity of the proteome. A loss of proteostasis is linked to aging and a number of diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. In this project, using the model organism Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the candidate will investigate the interplay between mTOR signaling and stress activated protein kinases (SAPKs) in the regulation of translation initiation and elongation, translation-coupled mRNA decay and the formation of stress granules. For this aim, the candidate will make use of classical yeast genetic and molecular methods, proteomics, live-cell microscopy and high-throughput sequencing technologies.
