About this position

NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) is advertising a PhD Candidate in Trustworthy Agentic Artificial Intelligence at the Department of ICT and Natural Sciences in Ålesund, Norway. The project sits within the new Norwegian Maritime AI Center and focuses on trustworthy AI, agentic AI systems, open-weight foundation models, and maritime applications such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.

The research aims to develop AI agents that are safe, transparent, accountable, and suitable for safety-critical maritime settings. Topics include agent architectures, reasoning, planning, tool use, uncertainty quantification, interpretability, alignment, monitoring, human oversight, and verification, with attention to the EU AI Act and other relevant standards/regulation. The candidate will validate methods on realistic maritime and other safety-relevant case studies, working with the Maritime AI Center and industry partners.

Eligibility highlights: a relevant Master's degree in computer science, artificial intelligence, data science, engineering cybernetics, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, or equivalent; strong academic results (B or better on NTNU's scale or equivalent); admission requirements for the doctoral programme in Engineering Cybernetics; strong Python and machine learning framework experience. Applicants from non-English speaking countries outside Europe must provide an accepted English test score (TOEFL/IELTS/CAE/CPE).

Funding and terms: full-time temporary PhD position, normally 3 years, with gross salary around NOK 580,000 per year depending on qualifications and seniority. The post is physically based in Ålesund at NTNU.

How to apply: submit the application electronically via Jobbnorge.no before 31 October 2026. Include CV, certificates, transcripts and diplomas, thesis copy or draft, motivation letter, relevant publications or research work, and three referees. If your education was completed abroad, add documentation of degree scope/quality and any diploma supplement or HK-dir statement.

What's required

Applicants need a relevant Master's degree in computer science, artificial intelligence, data science, engineering cybernetics, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, or equivalent, corresponding to a five-year Norwegian course with 120 master's credits. Master students may apply if the degree is completed and documented before starting. A strong academic background is required, with an average grade of B or better on NTNU's scale or equivalent; weaker grades may be offset by exceptional suitability. Admission requirements for the doctoral programme in Engineering Cybernetics must be met. Strong Python programming skills and practical experience with modern machine learning frameworks are required. For applicants from non-English speaking countries outside Europe, an official English test is required (TOEFL, IELTS, CAE/CPE) with specified minimum scores. Preferred experience includes agentic AI, LLM-based agents, tool use, planning, multi-agent systems, trustworthy AI, maritime or other safety-critical domains, research outputs, and industry/applied research experience.

How to apply

Apply electronically via Jobbnorge.no and include CV, certificates, transcripts and diplomas for bachelor's and master's degrees, a copy or draft of the master's thesis, a short motivation letter, relevant publications or research work, and contact information for three referees.
