2. PhD position in marine ecology
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The PhD position is a part of the ClimateNarratives project that will use Disko Bay as a case study for a Greenland ocean-glacier system. ClimateNarratives will improve scientific understanding of climate change and changing natural systems in Greenland and the southwest Pacific, and work to better exchange local knowledge and narratives with local indigenous communities. The overall project objective is to co-create new knowledge to better assess physical and biological changes and their societal consequences. There are two other ClimateNarratives PhDs that will work in parallel at the Geophysical Institute (UiB) and at the University of the South Pacific. The PhD project in marine ecology will focus on the seasonality of the pelagic ecosystem and ecological interactions in Disko Bay, Greenland. The main objective for the PhD project is to provide a better understanding of how the changing physical conditions of the Disko Bay ice-ocean system impact key biological processes in the pelagic. We will use zooplankton as our main study group but also include studies of primary production and fish. At the zooplankton level, species composition, seasonality in abundance, and the timing of key life cycle events will be studied. One of the main aims is to disentangle the roles of land-based processes, such as glacier melt, and ocean-based processes such as sea ice cover and water mass advection, on the ecological dynamics in the bay. The seasonality of these drivers and the biological interactions of the pelagic ecosystem will be given much attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. PhD Research Fellow in high-resolution modelling and model analysis of the atmospheric water cycle
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The central aim of the ISLAS project is to understand the connection of processes in the atmospheric water cycle, from source to sink. The ISLAS team has recently collected a series of unique airborne and ground-based measurements in the European Arctic during marine cold-air outbreak conditions. We now intensify our efforts to quantify the contribution and efficiency of different processes in the atmospheric water cycle in numerical models. A key tool in this endeavour are constraints from the stable isotope composition of water vapour and precipitation. By combining new measurements with advanced and novel model diagnostics, we want to reveal compensating errors between different physical processes in models, which in turn can provide the basis for more consistent atmospheric water cycle in models. We are now looking for an engaged and highly qualified PhD candidate to join our dynamic, collaborative project team. As a PhD in the Meteorology group at the Geophysical Institute at University of Bergen, you will also be affiliated with the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR). BCCR is the largest climate research centre in the Nordic countries and among the leading centres in Europe. The working environment is highly international with around 200 scientists from 37 countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. PhD Research Fellow in Meteorology
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The PhD project will focus on Arctic-Midlatitude teleconnection mechanisms and predictability. Several pathways have been proposed for teleconnections to and from the Arctic. The successful candidate will use a feature-based approach to identify linkages between Arctic weather events related to episodes of significant air-sea exchange and weather features in the midlatitudes, such as cyclones. This feature-based approach will also help to establish a physical relation between commonly used frameworks for poleward energy transport in the climate community and synoptic weather features. The approach will be complemented by also identifying teleconnections to circulation regimes in the midlatitudes as well as to Eurasia. The aim is to link previous findings based on statistical approaches to a feature-based approach, aiding the physical interpretation of the teleconnection and feedback mechanisms. The candidate will investigate these mechanisms using theory and idealised simulations as well as novel and established diagnostics applied to reanalysis and climate model data.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Ph.D. project must study changes within the Early Iron Age society (500 BC-600 AD), based on possible changes in the use of the high mountain area in this period, as well as in which way this forms the foundation for the intensified use of the high mountains which takes place in the Late Iron Age and Medieval Period. An important question in the project will be mapping in which way this exploitation of the high mountain resources is established and controlled. Did this intensified use of the high mountains lead to conflicts between different stakeholders as they wished to control these natural resources within a delimited area? In what way may possible east-west connections in the archaeological material be detected in this period? What social, political, and economic arrangements may have been established in this period? It will therefore be natural to analyse the use of resources in the high mountains and study possible connections with local settlements in the lowlands, and in this way put everything in a broader social, political, and economic context.<\/span><\/p>\n

17. PhD Research Fellow in alpine macroecology and global change biogeography related to paleoreconstructions and connectivity modelling
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Alpine biomes are present on all continents and at all latitudes worldwide. They comprise biodiversity hotpots, fulfil a crucial role in hydrological and climate regulation, and provide vital support for the livelihoods and wellbeing of billions of people. Importantly, alpine biomes and their diversity are characterized by a dynamic past. Indeed, during the Quaternary glacial-interglacial cycles, they underwent multiple expansion-contraction pulses, which resulted in recurrent episodes of connection and fragmentation that likely shaped present-day biodiversity and mountain hotspot patterns. The main aim of PPF-Alpine is to decipher the role of Quaternary climate dynamics in driving present-day alpine biodiversity based on the notion that their dynamic past may hold key insights for their future resilience. The cross-disciplinary team of PPF-Alpine will do so by integrating expertise, tools, and data from glaciology, glacial geomorphology, paleoecology, biogeography, macroecology, and landscape modelling. The candidate will develop innovative models of the spatial distribution of global alpine biomes during the late Quaternary, and estimate landscape connectivity and isolation dynamics through time for mountains worldwide. A key task is to find ways to reconstruct the dynamic elevational fluctuations of alpine biomes as a result of climate change by integrating information from paleoecological and paleoclimatic data, and paleoglacier reconstructions. <\/span><\/p>\n

The position will also be associated with the Bjerknes Climate Prediction Unit (http:\/\/bcpu.w.uib.no\/) that focuses on developing improved climate prediction for the North Atlantic Sector on sub-seasonal to decadal timescales, and the candidate will have the possibility to engage with the business partners of Climate Futures. Great progress has been made in climate prediction during the last decade. Nevertheless, prediction models still exhibit large errors and underestimate skill in many regions. Particularly problematic is the order of magnitude underestimation of predictable dynamics in the North Atlantic sector\u2014this has become commonly referred to as the signal-to-noise paradox. The PhD position will focus on better characterizing this signal-to-noise errors on different timescales, regions, and societally relevant parameters. The causes of these errors and approaches to mitigate them will be also explored. The work will involve extensive analysis of model output, and the application of modern statistical approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n

27. PhD Research Fellowship in Archaeology \u2013 SapienCE, Centre for Early Sapiens Behaviour
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The main purpose of the PhD position is to complete a doctoral thesis, which qualifies for independent research and other forms of employment that demand specific competency. The position is for a period of three (3) years. The applicant is expected to write a PhD dissertation related to the multidisciplinary perspective on lithics technology from layers dated to between ca. 77 000 and 90 000 years ago recovered from SapienCE MSA sites in South Africa. This period immediately predates the Still Bay technocomplex and is insufficiently understood, especially in terms of the transition from the preceding MSA II\/Mossel Bay to the Still Bay technocomplex. The proposed project should develop innovative methods of laboratory analysis of the lithic material in association with our Principal Investigators (Professor Sarah Wurz, University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, and Professor Christopher Henshilwood, University of Bergen, Norway). The PhD project should include a detailed lithic technological study (e.g. including the analysis of the cha\u00eene op\u00e9ratoire and refitting) and microscopic examination of selected material as well as correlation with particular weaponry systems and their use, as observable from morphology, edge damage, and macrofractures of the lithics.<\/span><\/p>\n

The position is part of the project \u201cUnravelling the Genetic Trajectories of Childhood Growth \u2013 From Trio-GWAS to Mechanisms.\u201d funded by the University of Bergen.The work will be part of a larger project financed by the Norwegian Research Council and includes a possibility for a research stay at the MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge (UK). The successful applicant will be supervised by professor Stefan Johansson at the Center for Diabetes Research (https:\/\/www.uib.no\/en\/diabetes) with co-supervisors professor John Perry (University of Cambridge) and a senior researcher at the University of Bergen. The PhD candidate will work on the project \u201cUnravelling the Genetic Trajectories of Childhood Growth \u2013 From Trio-GWAS to Mechanisms\u201d. The overarching project has received funding through the ERC, NFR, Novo Nordisk and the Helse Vest and is a large collaborative study utilizing both omics, informatics, molecular, cellular and phenotypic investigation of the biological effects of genetic variants involved in early human growth. The aim of the studies is to identify genetic variants and biological mechanisms with profound impact on childhood growth, food preferences, and response to lifestyle interventions to understand the connection between growth in early life and future risk of obesity and diabetes. To achieve this goal, we will analyse Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) data from 240,000 participants from the unique Norwegian Mother, father and child birth cohort study (MoBa) combined with UK-biobank data and take forward these findings for molecular and cellular studies, and apply these discoveries to obese children.<\/span><\/p>\n

30. Doctoral position<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The DEMOTRANS project explores the links between democratic institutions and the globalization of the economy. The project team at University of Bergen concentrates on two aspects of this project. The first aspect relates to role and importance of bureaucratic expertise in modern policy-making. Our ambition here is to understand when and how bureaucrats influence the development of public policies, and how this affects (the legitimacy of) local as well as global governance. The second aspect relates to the tensions arising from differences in temporal structures, norms and rhythms that characterize governance network members within and across various levels of governance. Our ambition here is to understand how the temporal aspects of network member interactions \u2013 such as time-horizons, scheduling, or (a)synchronous organizational life-cycles \u2013 affect the functioning, efficiency and effectiveness of policy-making in governance networks. The project leader is professor Zuzana Murdoch.<\/span><\/p>\n
