1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Water Isotope Research
Summary of PhD Program:
The project “Isotopic Transfer Rates during Water Phase Changes – iTRANSFER” consists of an experimental and modeling component that will establish an accurate basis for the use of water isotopic composition in studies of the terrestrial and extraterrestrial hydrological cycle. The iTRANSFER project will use new precise water isotopologue spectroscopy analyzers in experimental laboratory setups to measure the isotopologue transfer rates. Water isotopologue spectroscopy analyzers allow developing new experimental setups utilizing the possibility for continuous measurements of the water vapor isotopologue composition and the need for only very small sample volumes. The iTRANSFER project will furthermore use climate models equipped with water isotopologues together with networks of in-situ atmospheric water vapor isotopologue measurements to evaluate the effect of the new and more accurate fractionation factors.
Application Deadline: 1st September 2023

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in archaeology
Summary of PhD Program:
The successful applicant will join the research section at The Cultural History department, at the University Museum in Bergen. Besides research, the Department is responsible for archaeological excavations and cultural heritage management in the county of Vestland counties, as well as Sunnmøre. The museum´s archaeological collections consist of remains from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages, when Bergen had become one of the Nordic countries’ largest international trading cities. Between these two extremes in time, the sources shed light on cultural, technological and societal development over several thousand years, with the diverse landscape of Western Norway as a prominent research arena.
Application Deadline: 1st September 2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in stable isotope geochemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
Non-traditional stable isotopes are a promising tool for understanding underground processes in hydrothermal systems on the seabed, but interpretation of natural samples from such areas is currently limited due to a lack of knowledge about stable isotope fractionation under hydrothermal conditions. This project aims to study isotope fractionation during dissolution and mobilization of metal from known rock types in the reaction zones of hydrothermal systems. The candidate will collect and study samples from hydrothermal zones in ophiolites, determine their Fe and Cu isotope composition using a multi-collector ICP-MS, and use this to assess the signs and extent of isotopic fractionation during hydrothermal dissolution.
Application Deadline: 14. september 2023
5. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in psychology
Summary of PhD Program:
The position is made up of two independent parts, which can be combined by agreement. The fellowship period is a total of 3 years and the specialist candidate period is up to 4 years. Recruitment for a research fellow position takes place with the Faculty of Psychology as the employer, while recruitment as a psychologist for a specialist candidate position in this announcement takes place with the Clinic for Psychological Health for Children and Young People (PBU), Helse Bergen HF as the employer. The financing of the specialist part of the positions is anchored in a regional cooperation agreement between the faculty and the health enterprise.
Application Deadline: 6. september 2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in de novo drug design
Summary of PhD Program:
Development of new pharmaceuticals requires efficient navigation of the vast chemical space. This may be achieved via heuristic computational methods, also termed “de novo” design methods, which may optimize toward desirable drug candidates without having to explore the complete chemical space. Via an interdisciplinary approach that includes informatics, computational chemistry, synthesis, computational biology, and biomedicine, the project team will develop radically new de novo molecular design methods. Specifically, the team will develop methods that integrate expert knowledge early on, via machine-learning models and on-the-fly human intervention in the otherwise automated process. The new methods will be applied to design inhibitors of targets for cancer and antibiotics, the most promising of which will be synthesized and tested.
Application Deadline: 5th September 2023
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cancer Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
At the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Biomedicine, a full-time PhD-position is available for a period of four (4) years or max 4 months after completed the PhD-degree, if this is achieved within a shorter time than four years. The positions include 25 % required duties such as teaching, exam work or supervision, depending on the demands at the department. The position is part of the project “Epigenetic Control of Obesity-induced Tumour Initiation”, funded by the University of Bergen. We offer the unique opportunity to work with state-of-the-art techniques and link basic research with clinical sciences. The close cooperation with the facilities of the Haukeland University Hospital will allow you to push the boundaries of classical medical research. It will give you all the tools to publish in highranking journals.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in structural biology
Summary of PhD Program:
The main goal of the project is to develop a biosensor for the detection of environmental toxins. The biosensor will be based on cellular receptors that recognize and bind to foreign substances, and will potentially be used in toxicity testing, environmental monitoring and in mapping polluted areas. The project is managed by the University of Bergen with NTNU as research partners, and STIM AS and Biosense Laboratories AS as industry partners. The project is financed by the Research Council’s program for Technology Convergence.
Application Deadline: 18. september 2023
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in machine learning
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD position will be part of the center for research-driven innovation (SFI) – Climate Futures funded by the Research Council of Norway. Climate Futures’ main goal is to produce new and innovative solutions to predict and manage climate risks from 10 days to 10 years in the future. The Center is a consortium consisting of seven research partners and nearly 30 user partners from the business world. These represent industries such as agriculture, renewable energy, disaster preparedness, shipping, insurance, finance, risk management services, as well as public organisations.
