PhD Opportunities in Medical Science in Norway

The University of Oslo’s Section of Clinical Psychology in the Department of Psychology is recruiting a PhD fellow for a three- to four-year project in clinical child and adolescent psychology focused on autism. The research will examine autism profiles among girls, the effects of autism-related symptoms on parents and siblings, and gender-specific treatment outcomes. The project addresses which symptom profiles predict an autism diagnosis in girls referred to child and adolescent mental health ...

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...

The University of Oslo’s Oral Physiology and Cancer Research Group (OPCG), within the Institute of Oral Biology at the Faculty of Dentistry, is offering a PhD research fellowship on tumor–host interaction in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) . The project examines how extracellular vesicles released by cancer cells influence normal cells both near the tumor and at distant sites. The PhD candidate will investigate whether OSCC-derived extracellular vesicles alter the phenotype and function of n...

Oslo University Hospital – The Norwegian Radium Hospital is recruiting a PhD Research Fellow for a three-year doctoral project on glioblastoma , an aggressive brain cancer. The research will investigate combined immunotherapy and radiotherapy , addressing how these treatment approaches can be used together in the study and treatment of glioblastoma. The position forms part of InnovaRTBRAIN , a project within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks programme. The doctoral researcher ...

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...

This PhD position at the Department of Design, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is based in Trondheim and linked to Shore Control Lab , a design and human factors research environment focused on human-centred design for safety-critical operational contexts. The project sits within the Norwegian Maritime AI Centre (MAI) , a national hub for research, innovation, and education in artificial intelligence for the maritime domain. The doctoral work focuses on human-AI teaming in ...

This PhD project at NTNU’s Department of Computer Science is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network CAPTURE , an international collaboration with academic, healthcare, and industry partners across Europe. The position is based in Gjøvik, Norway , within the Colourlab research environment, and focuses on advancing wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) for gastrointestinal imaging. The research explores how multispectral imaging can improve capsule endoscopy beyond the RGB c...
