PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Chemical 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 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...

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 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 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...

This PhD project is part of the HeatMinds MSCA Doctoral Network and is hosted by SINTEF Energy in close collaboration with Brunel University and other European partners. The advertised project, “Advanced Control Strategies for Dynamic Operation of High-Temperature Heat Pump Systems,” focuses on how high-temperature heat pumps can be controlled and integrated more effectively in dynamic industrial settings. The doctoral research combines thermal engineering with advanced control and optimisation....

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...

PhD project on hydrogen and industrial decarbonization The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) invites applications for a three-year PhD Candidate position investigating the future role of hydrogen and hydrogen products in industrial decarbonization. The project is based at the Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management at NTNU's Trondheim campus. The research examines how alternative pathways toward a zero-emission industrial sector could reshape industrial p...
