PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Civil Engineering in Norway

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...

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...

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...

NTNU is offering a PhD project in machine learning for the conservation of historic buildings. The position is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action CHARM Doctoral Network, which develops resilient, sustainable and climate-adapted methods for conserving architectural heritage. The project, titled “Understanding conservation condition and rehabilitation needs at district scale in time of energy saving and climate change via machine learning driven method,” focuses on using artificial intellig...

Research Council of Norway Researcher Project for Young Talents is a funding opportunity for early-career researchers who want to develop and lead their own research project. The scheme is open across all disciplines and research areas, and is designed for talented young researchers under the age of 40 who are 2–7 years after the defence of an approved doctorate. The emphasis is on strong scientific quality and on giving applicants the opportunity to pursue their own research ideas as project le...
