PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Biomedical Engineering 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 University of Oslo’s Section of Clinical Psychology in the Department of Psychology is recruiting a PhD fellow for a three- to four-year project in clinical child and adolescent psychology focused on autism. The research will examine autism profiles among girls, the effects of autism-related symptoms on parents and siblings, and gender-specific treatment outcomes. The project addresses which symptom profiles predict an autism diagnosis in girls referred to child and adolescent mental health ...

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...

UiT The Arctic University of Norway is offering a PhD fellowship in evolutionary biochemistry within the Host–Microbe Interaction research group at the Department of Medical Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences, in Tromsø. The fellowship forms part of the LacZymes project led by Dr. Christopher Frøhlich. The project investigates the molecular mechanisms that drive the evolution of antibiotic resistance at the enzymatic level. It brings together ancestral sequence reconstruction, directed evolutio...

A PhD research fellowship is available in the Oral Physiology and Cancer Research Group (OPCG) at the Institute of Oral Biology, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo. The project examines how extracellular vesicles released by oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) influence normal cells, including endothelial cells, and whether these cells are reprogrammed toward a tumor-supporting phenotype. The research is centered on tumor-host communication and the biological effects of cancer-derived vesi...

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 project at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) explores the microstructural origin of ductility in recycled aluminium alloys. The successful candidate will join the TEM Gemini Centre and the characterization activities in SFI FAST , working in close collaboration with researchers at NTNU and SINTEF as well as Norwegian and international industrial partners in the aluminium value chain. The research focuses on how microstructural constituents such as precipitates, p...

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) is offering PhD positions in Trondheim focused on the testing and modelling of lithium-ion batteries under both operational and abuse conditions. The research combines computational mechanics, advanced experimental testing and numerical modelling to improve understanding of battery behaviour. The doctoral work will contribute to safer and more reliable energy-storage solutions by examining how lithium-ion batteries respond during normal o...
