PhD Opportunities in Astronomy 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...

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...

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...

PhD Candidate in Biodiversity Value Assessment for Energy Transition at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway. This PhD opportunity is focused on biodiversity value assessment in the context of the energy transition. The project sits at the intersection of biodiversity, ecological valuation, and sustainable energy planning, making it a strong fit for candidates interested in conservation science, environmental assessment, and the trade-offs involved in shifting to low...

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...

The University of Oslo invites applications for a three-year PhD Research Fellowship in Planetary Atmospheric Chemistry using Quantum Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry’s Section for Theoretical Chemistry. The position is based at the Life Science Building at Blindern, Oslo, Norway, within the Research Council of Norway-funded project Molecular Atmospheric Chemistry on Alien Worlds (MACAW) . The project uses quantum chemistry, electronic structure methods, high-performance computing, and m...

University of Bergen is advertising a PhD fellow in Quaternary geology and paleoclimate at the Department of Geosciences. The project focuses on in-situ cosmogenic nuclides , exposure dating of rock avalanches , landscape evolution under repeated glaciations, and forward modeling of nuclide production and preservation. The successful candidate will join an active research environment in quaternary geology, geomorphology, geochronology, laboratory geochemistry, field geomorphology, and data analy...

NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) is advertising a 3-year PhD Candidate position at the Gjærevoll Centre for Biodiversity Foresight Analyses in Trondheim, Norway. The project sits at the intersection of biodiversity science , spatial ecology , landscape ecology , land use , renewable energy , and social-ecological systems , with a strong focus on assessing biodiversity values in areas affected by the energy transition. The PhD will explore how biodiversity impacts of energy p...
