About this position
Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is advertising four PhD positions within the interdisciplinary project Preparedness and Response to AMR, the Silent Pandemic, based in Trondheim, Norway.
The initiative addresses antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the most pressing global health challenges. The four coordinated doctoral projects combine molecular and medical sciences, biotechnology, diagnostics, and social and political sciences to strengthen preparedness for rising AMR.
Research topics include the development and modes of action of novel antimicrobial peptides; emerging technologies for characterizing antimicrobial activity and optimal combinations; rapid precision diagnostics for severe infection; and antibiotic sovereignty, power, governance, and the political economy of fighting AMR.
The positions are led by Professors Marit Otterlei in the Department of Clinical and Molecular Medicine and Heidrun Åm in the Department of Sociology and Political Science. The projects also involve the Department of Biotechnology and Food Sciences and St. Olavs Hospital.
The positions are full-time, temporary PhD appointments located at Høgskoleringen 1, Trondheim. The application deadline is 20 November 2026. Applicants should consult the official Jobbnorge advertisement for project-specific eligibility criteria, required documentation, and application instructions.
