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

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...

This PhD opening at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is part of the joint BATT-MECH project, linking the Department of Structural Engineering with the Department of Energy and Process Technology. The project is carried out across SIMLab (Structural Impact Laboratory) and the Battery Mechanics and Sensing Lab , and is developed in close collaboration with Audi AG, giving the research a strong industrial and automotive relevance. The project addresses the behaviour of lith...

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...

The research addresses technologica...

PhD Candidate in Electrochemistry at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) This PhD opportunity is based at NTNU, Norway’s major university for science and technology, and focuses on electrochemistry. The project title suggests research in electrochemical processes, materials, interfaces, or energy-related applications, making it a strong fit for candidates interested in chemistry and advanced materials research. The position is a doctoral opening rather than a postdoctoral o...

The Department of Clinical and Molecular Medicine (IKOM) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is advertising a PhD Candidate position in molecular medical microbiology. The project is part of NTNU’s interdisciplinary research initiative Preparedness and Response to AMR, the silent pandemic , bringing together closely coordinated PhD projects and researchers across microbiology, molecular medicine, and sociology/public health-related perspectives. This specific PhD project...

The University of Agder in Grimstad, Norway, invites applications for a full-time, three-year PhD Research Fellow position in Civil and Structural Engineering. The research concerns the design and analysis of interconnected floating solar arrays for offshore environments, as part of the EU HelioSea project. The successful candidate will investigate multibody floating solar systems composed of lightweight floats, mechanical connectors, and mooring systems. Research activities include analytical m...
