About this position

Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) is hiring a PhD candidate for a project in Quaternary Geology focused on Arctic glaciers and ice caps, their extent and dynamics since the Little Ice Age, and the potential mobilization of PFAS contaminants into the wider environment.

The project is centered on Svalbard and combines polar research, glacier change, landscape transformation, and contaminant transport. This is a strong fit for applicants interested in Earth Science, Geology, Environmental Science, and related research on climate-driven environmental change.

The position is supervised by Danni Pearce, Roland Kallenborn, and Erlend Sørmo at NMBU. Erlend Sørmo is the announcer and an associate professor in soil chemistry at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences.

The post is a PhD opening rather than a scholarship announcement. The excerpt does not provide detailed eligibility criteria, funding amount, or deadline, so applicants should check the full vacancy page for complete requirements and application instructions.

Apply through the Jobbnorge posting linked in the announcement.

Funding details

PhD position at NMBU; funding details are not specified in the post excerpt, but it is presented as a hired PhD candidate position.

What's required

Applicants should be interested in a PhD project focused on polar research, glaciers, and contaminants. The post does not specify detailed academic prerequisites, but the topic suggests a background relevant to Quaternary geology, glaciology, environmental science, or related fields may be advantageous.
