About this position

University of Bergen is advertising a PhD fellow in Quaternary geology and paleoclimate at the Department of Geosciences. The project focuses on in-situ cosmogenic nuclides, exposure dating of rock avalanches, landscape evolution under repeated glaciations, and forward modeling of nuclide production and preservation.

The successful candidate will join an active research environment in quaternary geology, geomorphology, geochronology, laboratory geochemistry, field geomorphology, and data analysis. The work includes field sampling, analysis of existing and new cosmogenic nuclide datasets, and simple forward modeling to improve the reliability and interpretation of exposure ages.

This is a four-year funded PhD position supported by the University of Bergen. The appointment includes 25% career-promoting work connected to research, teaching, and dissemination. The salary is listed as NOK 593,700 gross per year according to the state salary scale.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a master’s degree or equivalent in quaternary geology, geochemistry, or a related field, or have submitted the master’s thesis by the deadline. Strong practical laboratory experience with sample preparation and chemical handling is required. Helpful experience includes cosmogenic nuclide preparation, mineral separation, ICP-OES analysis, fieldwork in steep terrain, and forward modeling. Good written and spoken English, independence, structure, and teamwork are emphasized.

Supervision: main supervisor Professor Henriette Linge (University of Bergen) and co-supervisor Associate Professor Paula Snook (University of Western Norway, Sogndal campus). The post also mentions Henk Keers as a contact person.

Application deadline: 2026-11-25. Applications must be submitted via Jobbnorge with CV, transcripts and diplomas, proof of thesis submission if relevant, certificates, English documentation if required, a motivation/research statement, and referee contacts.

Funding details

The position is funded by the University of Bergen and is a fixed-term PhD fellowship for four years, with 25% of the time allocated to career-promoting work related to research, teaching, and dissemination. Salary is stated as NOK 593,700 gross per year according to the state salary scale.

What's required

Applicants must have a master's degree or equivalent in quaternary geology, geochemistry, or a similar field, or have submitted the master's thesis for assessment before the deadline; the master's degree must be completed before appointment. Solid practical experience with laboratory work, including sample preparation and handling chemicals, is required. Experience preparing samples for cosmogenic nuclide analysis or similar geochemical/paleoenvironmental studies is an advantage, as are mineral separation from rock samples, ICP-OES analysis, fieldwork in rough and/or steep terrain, and forward modeling. Applicants must be able to work independently and in a structured way, collaborate well, and have good written and spoken English.

How to apply

Apply through Jobbnorge and upload the application with all required attachments. Include a short statement of research interests and motivation, a detailed explanation of how you meet each requirement and advantage, CV, transcripts and diplomas for bachelor’s and master’s degrees, proof of submitted master’s thesis if applicable, relevant certificates, proof of English proficiency if required, and a publication list if available. Provide contact details for two referees, including the main supe
