PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Earth Science in Norway

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...

RESADL (Reimagining Schools Through a Post-Disaster Lens) is an ERC-funded research project based at the Institute for Social Research in Zagreb. The advertised position joins the Institute’s Centre for Educational Research and Development and focuses on scientific research within a multi-country study of schools in disaster-affected European settings. Led by Dr Karin Doolan , a sociologist of education, the project examines how schools are suspended, enacted, contested, and imagined after disas...

PhD project in AI for ship design and marine engineering The Department of Ocean Operations and Civil Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is offering a PhD position focused on artificial intelligence for accelerated concept evaluation and tender-phase ship design. The research will develop methods that make early-stage marine design faster, more efficient and better informed. The project will investigate AI-based generation and exploration of marine design co...

NTNU is offering a PhD Candidate position in Sustainable and Cement-Free Marine Materials at the Department of Manufacturing and Civil Engineering in Gjøvik. The project is positioned within an international and interdisciplinary research environment focused on sustainable blue economy innovation and low-carbon material solutions for marine applications. The PhD project, HAPMarine , addresses the need for alternatives to carbon-intensive, concrete-based marine infrastructure. The research aims t...

This PhD project at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is hosted by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in Trondheim and sits within the interdisciplinary STRIDE initiative, part of NTNU’s broader More Resilient Society programme. The project focuses on how interdependent multi-hazards affect transport systems when climate-driven events and security threats occur together. It studies converging hazards such as storms, floods, and water-induced landslides alon...

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is recruiting a full-time PhD Candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in Trondheim, Norway. The four-year project, Impacts of Interdependent Multi-Hazards on Transport Systems , is part of the STRIDE initiative under NTNU's More Resilient Society programme. The research will examine how climate-driven hazards—including intense storms, floods, and water-induced landslides—interact with acute security threats such...

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Marine Plankton Biology at the University of Oslo, Norway. This postdoctoral opportunity is aimed at researchers interested in marine plankton biology, with a focus on biological processes in ocean environments and the study of plankton as key components of marine ecosystems. The position is suitable for candidates with a strong background in biology and related environmental or earth science disciplines, especially those with interests in marine ecology, biodiver...

NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) is advertising a PhD position in marine biology linked to the EU project Remedies . This is a research-focused doctoral opportunity for candidates interested in marine systems, ecosystem processes, and biological research in a European project setting. The position is based at NTNU in Norway and is suited to applicants with a strong interest in marine biology and related environmental research. As a PhD opening, it is intended for doctoral-le...

University of Bergen is advertising a PhD stipend position in quaternary geology and paleoclimate . The project sits at the intersection of Earth science, Quaternary research, and climate reconstruction, and is aimed at candidates interested in understanding past environmental and climatic change through geological evidence. This opening is a doctoral research position, so it is intended for a PhD candidate rather than a postdoctoral or master’s level applicant. The post is based at the Universi...
