About this position
NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology is offering up to two postdoctoral fellowships at the Department of Mathematical Sciences in Trondheim. The positions are intended for excellent, highly motivated researchers and are designed to help build a strong research profile in mathematics, with the expectation of contributing to the department’s research environment, academic output, and broader scientific activities.
The department invites applications from candidates working in any of its main research disciplines. The fellowships are based in a broad mathematical sciences environment that combines long-term basic research and applied research at a high international level. The department highlights its role in providing mathematical and statistical expertise for engineering, natural science, business, public administration, and the wider research and education sector.
The appointed postdoctoral fellows will carry out high-quality research, produce academic publications, participate in international activities such as conferences and research stays abroad, and contribute to teaching and other duties. The role is also framed as career development toward an associate professor profile, and the department notes that relevant educational competence can be developed during the employment period if needed.
The postdoctoral fellows will work within NTNU’s Department of Mathematical Sciences, part of the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering. The position is embedded in an international academic setting with an emphasis on independence, collaboration, and contribution to ongoing research activity across the department. The university also stresses an open and inclusive working environment and the opportunity to engage with a strong professional community in Trondheim.
The position requires collaboration with a permanent scientific employee at the department who will act as mentor for the proposed project.
