About this position

This PhD opening is based in the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, within the Microbial Biotechnology research division.

The project is part of a larger NTNU-funded research effort on preparedness and response to antimicrobial resistance. It is embedded in the Bruheim research group, which works on deep phenotyping of prokaryotic and eukaryotic model systems using advanced cultivation technology and mass spectrometry-based metabolomics, fluxomics and lipidomics.

The specific project focuses on emerging technologies to characterize the mode of operation and activity of synthetic and natural peptides with potent antibacterial activity against important pathogenic bacteria. The student will work with mass spectrometry-based analysis at metabolite and protein levels, metabolic flux characterization, microbial cultivation, and bioanalytical assays.

The opening involves close collaboration with the Otterlei lab and with another coordinated PhD project in the same research programme. The post is situated in a strong, international research environment at NTNU, with scope for doctoral training, publications and dissemination.

Funding details

PhD Candidate position with gross salary normally NOK 580,000 per annum; employment period 4 years (3 years doctoral work plus 1 year career promotion work).

What's required

Applicants must meet admission requirements for the Department's Doctoral Programme and hold a relevant Master's degree in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology or equivalent, including a major independent project of at least 30 ECTS equivalent to a master's thesis. Master students may apply if they complete and document the degree before starting and no later than 1 December 2026. A strong academic background is required, with an average grade of B or better on NTNU's scale or equivalent; candidates with weaker grades may be considered if exceptionally suited through relevant work experience and/or peer-reviewed publications. Good oral and written English skills are required. Preferred criteria include a strong background in biochemistry, microbiology and biotechnology, some analytical biochemistry, experience with LC-MS, and ability to work with large datasets. Personal qualities emphasized include independent and structured working, goal setting, presenting and discussing research, constructive collaboration, flexibility, and strong communication and interpersonal skills.

How to apply

Apply electronically via Jobbnorge.no and include the required attachments with your application. Submit transcripts and diplomas, CV, copy or draft of your master's thesis, a short motivation letter, relevant publications or other research work, possible certificates, and contact details for three referees. If your education was taken abroad, attach documentation of scope and quality, diploma supplement if available, and any HK-dir statement.
