PhD Opportunities in Chemistry in Norway

UiT The Arctic University of Norway is offering a PhD fellowship in evolutionary biochemistry within the Host–Microbe Interaction research group at the Department of Medical Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences, in Tromsø. The fellowship forms part of the LacZymes project led by Dr. Christopher Frøhlich. The project investigates the molecular mechanisms that drive the evolution of antibiotic resistance at the enzymatic level. It brings together ancestral sequence reconstruction, directed evolutio...

A PhD research fellowship is available in the Oral Physiology and Cancer Research Group (OPCG) at the Institute of Oral Biology, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo. The project examines how extracellular vesicles released by oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) influence normal cells, including endothelial cells, and whether these cells are reprogrammed toward a tumor-supporting phenotype. The research is centered on tumor-host communication and the biological effects of cancer-derived vesi...

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...

The Department of Sociology and Political Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim is recruiting a doctoral researcher for a four-year PhD project in sociology. The project, “Power, governance, and the political economy of fighting antimicrobial resistance,” examines how antimicrobial resistance is addressed through systems of governance, political decision-making and economic relations. The research sits at the intersection of sociology, governance, anti...

The University of Oslo is offering a doctoral research fellowship at the Centre for Precision Psychiatry, affiliated with the Institute of Clinical Medicine and conducted in collaboration with the Department of Medical Genetics at Oslo University Hospital. The PhD project, Multimodal metabolic markers for mechanisms and predictive trajectories of Alzheimer’s disease , is part of the Back2Future project led by Professor Srdjan Djurovic. It will investigate whether early, heritable metabolic and p...

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 is part of NTNU’s interdisciplinary research effort on preparedness and response to antimicrobial resistance, described as “the silent pandemic.” The advertised PhD candidate will join one of four closely coordinated projects and work within a collaborative environment that links molecular and clinical research with broader interdisciplinary expertise. The project focuses on discovering and characterizing new antimicrobial peptides derived from human plasma. These peptides may a...

This PhD position is part of the NTNU interdisciplinary research project “Preparedness and Response to AMR, the silent pandemic” , linking clinical and molecular medicine with social science perspectives across several closely coordinated doctoral projects. The successful candidate will work at the Department of Clinical and Molecular Medicine (IKOM) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, within a broad, international research environment. The project focuses on rapi...

This PhD position is based at the HUNT Center for Molecular and Clinical Epidemiology (HUNT MCE) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. The project sits within HUNT-Genes IP, an industry-supported genomics initiative that brings together academic researchers, St. Olavs hospital, and partners from the pharmaceutical and health technology industries to develop a model for academic–industry collaboration in population-based genetics. The research uses large population-b...
