About this position
PhD Candidate in High Temperature Material Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Trondheim, Norway.
This PhD position focuses on high-temperature materials science, metallurgical processes, and experimental research related to Mn-alloy production. The successful candidate will work on optimizing the control and handling of off-gases from Mn-alloy production, with goals tied to increased energy efficiency and future carbon capture technologies. The project is linked to a research group of about 20 PhD candidates and postdocs and involves close collaboration with SINTEF and the Norwegian Mn-ferroalloy industry.
Applicants should have a relevant background in materials science or process metallurgy, experience in high-temperature experimental work, and a strong academic record. A master's degree equivalent to the Norwegian five-year degree structure is required, together with good written and oral English. Preferred experience includes Mn alloy production, and knowledge of Norwegian or another Scandinavian language is an advantage for teaching duties.
The appointment is a PhD research position with a gross annual salary of NOK 580,000, normal duration of 3 years, and a possible 1-year extension with 25% teaching duties. The position is conditional on external funding. The research work is experimental and includes literature review, journal article writing, and completion of the PhD thesis.
Application deadline: 10 November 2026. Apply via Jobbnorge.no and submit transcripts and diplomas, CV, thesis copy or draft, references, and any relevant publications. If you studied abroad, include documentation of the scope and quality of your education, plus diploma supplement and HK-dir statement if available.
