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

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...

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...

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...
