PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Architecture in Norway

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is offering a PhD position in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Campus Gløshaugen in Trondheim. The project addresses sustainable additive manufacturing by developing models that can help restore used aluminium powder for reuse in 3D printing. During aluminium powder-based 3D printing, particles can degrade and form a crusty oxide layer, reducing their suitability for further manufacturing. Within the European AlproCa...

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is seeking a PhD candidate in the Department of Energy and Process Engineering to investigate the thermal cycling of compact steam cycles, with particular emphasis on once-through steam generators (OTSGs) used in offshore and other space- and weight-constrained applications. The doctoral project, DUOP – Deeper Understanding of Once-through steam generator Operational Physics , combines advanced numerical modelling with controlled experime...

This postdoctoral position is based at the Department of Language and Culture, Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education at UiT The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø. The project is situated within critical sociolinguistics and is affiliated with Living Arctic Colonialities , a project examining how coloniality continues as an ongoing, situated process in northern parts of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The successful candidate will investigate the interplay between coloniality, cap...

This PhD opportunity is based at the Department of Technology Systems at the University of Oslo and is part of a collaborative project on energy transitions under changing climate conditions. The project brings together the UiO Energy-Climate and Energy Systems Modeling groups with the Climate Physics Group at ETH Zurich , creating a research setting that combines energy-system analysis with climate science. The two available PhD projects focus on complementary questions: one addresses iterative...

This PhD research fellow position is based at the Department of Science and Industry Systems at the University of South-Eastern Norway in Kongsberg, within the Faculty of Technology, Natural Sciences and Maritime Sciences. The project sits in SFI CELECT – the Centre for Effective Engineering and Learning in Complex Systems – and is also connected to the Industrial Research School in Complex Systems (INRESCOS) . The doctoral project addresses a major challenge in complex industrial development: i...

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Ålesund is offering a PhD project in multi-robot informative planning for coastal monitoring . The research is part of NTNU Ålesund’s ocean-intelligence activities, which use autonomous systems to collect data for applications including fish-spawning-ground monitoring, microplastic and suspended-contamination mapping, and water-quality assessment. The project will develop methods for teams of heterogeneous unmanned surface vehicles (US...

The University of Oslo invites applications for two PhD Research Fellowships in Climate Risk and Energy Systems at the Department of Technology Systems in Kjeller, near Oslo, with a planned move to the Blindern campus in spring 2027. The fellowships are part of the project “Energy system transitions under evolving climate conditions: drivers, impacts, and solutions” , funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Norwegian Research Council. The research aims to build the knowledge base...

PhD opportunity at the Department of Structural Engineering, NTNU in Trondheim, focused on AI-driven smart material characterisation and modelling for future offshore structures. The project is part of AIMOS (Artificial Intelligence for Multiscale Offshore Structures) , an initiative developing integrated AI methods for the analysis, design, monitoring, and control of floating offshore systems. The PhD researcher will study smart materials that could be used in adaptive offshore structures, with...

The Department of Structural Engineering at NTNU is offering a PhD position focused on the consequences of drone attacks on people, buildings, and critical infrastructure. The project addresses malicious drone use in conflict, especially contact charges, near-field explosions, and fragmentation effects from detonating drones. The doctoral research combines testing, modelling, and simulation of detonating drones. The work aims to improve the accuracy of advanced numerical models by combining repr...
