About this position

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is offering a PhD candidate position focused on high temperature material science. The project is rooted in materials science and process metallurgy and is aimed at developing knowledge relevant to Mn-alloy production, with a particular focus on optimizing the control and handling of off-gases to improve energy efficiency and support future carbon capture technologies.

The candidate will be part of a research environment of about 20 PhD candidates and postdocs, and will work closely with external research and industrial partners, including SINTEF and the Norwegian Mn-ferroalloy industry. The work is described as experimental and will combine literature review, journal paper writing, and the final PhD thesis, giving the candidate practical research experience in a topic connected to industrial high-temperature processing and greener materials production.

The position is supervised by Prof. Gabriella Tranell. The department highlights its strong role in materials engineering, materials chemistry, and materials science, and emphasizes collaboration with business and industry to develop innovative materials and new manufacturing processes. The position is based at NTNU’s Campus Gløshaugen in Trondheim.

The post is a fixed-term PhD appointment connected to the department’s research activity in high-temperature metallurgical processes and industrial emissions handling.

Funding details

Gross salary normally NOK 580,000 per annum; 3-year fixed-term appointment with possible up to 1-year extension for 25% teaching duties; position is conditional on external funding.

What's required

Applicants must have a professionally relevant background in materials science or process metallurgy, with experience in high-temperature experimental work. The education must correspond to a five-year Norwegian degree program with 120 credits at master's level. A strong academic background is required, with a master's average grade of B or better according to NTNU's grading scale, or an equally strong academic basis if letter grades are not used. Applicants must meet the faculty's doctoral admission requirements. Experience in writing journal articles is required, good written and oral English is compulsory, and working or academic experience from Mn alloy production is preferred. Knowledge of Norwegian or another Scandinavian language is required for teaching duties.

How to apply

Apply electronically via Jobbnorge.no. Submit transcripts and diplomas for Bachelor's and Master's degrees, CV, copy or draft of the Master's thesis, name and address of three referees, and any publications or other relevant research work. Include documentation for any education completed abroad and any HK-dir statement if available.
