About this position
The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) invites applications for up to two postdoctoral fellowships in mathematical sciences. The positions are designed to help early-career researchers build a profile suitable for future associate professor appointments while developing broader academic and professional experience.
Research may be proposed within any of the department’s main research disciplines, spanning mathematical sciences and related areas such as mathematics and statistics. Applicants are expected to develop a project plan together with a permanent scientific employee of the department, who will act as a mentor and host the proposed project. The fellowship therefore offers scope for candidates to shape an independent research direction while connecting it to NTNU’s established research activities.
The postdoctoral fellows will carry out high-quality research, produce academic publications, and participate in international academic activities, including conferences and possible research stays at foreign institutions. The role also includes teaching and other departmental duties. Fellows who do not already meet Norway’s educational competence requirements for associate professor positions may acquire that competence during the appointment through relevant teaching and career-promoting work.
NTNU’s Department of Mathematical Sciences is Norway’s largest university environment in mathematical sciences. It supports foundational education in mathematical sciences for engineering and natural science students, conducts long-term basic and applied research, and contributes mathematical and statistical expertise to business, public administration, research, and education. The department forms part of NTNU’s Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering.
The fellows will join a strong, international, and inclusive professional environment in Trondheim. The university emphasizes collaboration, research quality, teaching development, and international engagement, with opportunities to work alongside committed colleagues across mathematical and statistical research activities.
