About this position

PhD Candidate in Risk-Based Power System Operation and Utilisation of Transformer Capacity at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway.

This PhD position focuses on electric power systems, with emphasis on risk-based operation of power networks and improved utilisation of transformer capacity. The project sits in the field of power system engineering and is well suited to applicants interested in grid operation, reliability, optimisation, and the integration of modern power-system analysis methods into practical network planning and operation.

The advertised post is a doctoral research position. It is not presented as a scholarship announcement, but as a PhD candidate opening at NTNU. Based on the position title and institutional context, the core academic area is electrical engineering, with probable intersections with optimisation, system reliability, and energy infrastructure management.

Institution: NTNU is one of Norway’s leading universities for engineering and technology research. A PhD at NTNU typically involves research training, project work, and completion of a doctoral dissertation under academic supervision.

Research theme: The topic suggests work on how to operate power systems in a risk-aware way while extracting more value from existing transformer assets. This may involve modelling operational constraints, evaluating risk in system decisions, and finding ways to increase transformer capacity utilisation while maintaining safe and reliable grid operation.

Eligibility and requirements: The posting text provided here does not include detailed entry requirements, preferred background, or language criteria. Applicants should check the full application page for any requirements concerning degree level, academic performance, relevant engineering background, programming or modelling skills, and documentation.

Application deadline: 2026-11-23.

How to apply: Submit the application through the Jobbnorge link. Review the full advert on the employer’s page for required attachments and formal instructions. Ensure the application is completed before the deadline.
