2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Information Systems for Climate Health
Summary of PhD Program:
The position is devoted to carrying out research on climate health data and its role in supporting decisions for a various user groups. Within this broad topic, data integration, data storing and processing, and data visualization will be important. Spatial data models are natural starting points, and research on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is expected to be central. Empirically, the research will be based in concrete activities of the HISP Centre, University of Oslo, and processes to adapt the open source software DHIS2 to support climate health information needs globally.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Human Geography
Summary of PhD Program:
We seek candidates with the potential to contribute to the development of human geography as a discipline in the department. The fellows are expected to pursue independent research under supervision, as outlined in the submitted project proposal. We value the contribution of young scholars to the academic environment and study programmes in the department. PhD fellows are expected to participate actively in the departmental life.
We currently have strong research communities in the fields of urban studies, sustainable transformations, work, organisations and politics, social inequality, migration, integration and diversity, cultural and political participation, population dynamics. Human geographers are also engaged in economic and political geography. The call is not thematically limited to these topics, but preference can be given to candidates with projects that align with the department’s supervisory capacity. Applicants are expected to demonstrate through their application letter and project proposal how they will contribute to the development of human geography at the department.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Formal Methods and Software Engineering for Digital Twins
Summary of PhD Program:
Are you interested in doing a PhD in formal methods and software engineering, developing exciting software solutions in a unique, interdisciplinary research environment? In this project, we will work on digital twins, which are technologies that can support the development and exploration of hypothetical experiments (so-called “what-if” scenarios). The project aims to develop digital twin solutions that work in practice and that allow us to argue for correctness. The design of the digital twin should allow us to express the correctness of its underlying architecture but also to justify specific configurations for different hypothetical exper-iments.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computational Continuum Mechanics
Summary of PhD Program:
We invite applications for a PhD position in computational continuum mechanics to develop a physical model for fluid transport and mixing in fracture networks. The objective is to better understand fluid flow and reactive transport in networks that evolve due to clogging and unclogging under the action of chemical precipitation. This dynamic phenomenon is encountered in many situations from the transport of nutrients through veins and branches in living systems to flow of chemical solutions through porous and fractured rocks in the subsurface. Applications may include the filling of vein networks on geological time scales, the formation of biominerals, the remediation of contaminants, the restoration of cultural heritage, the clogging of geothermal wells and the mineral trapping of CO2 in the subsurface.
Application Deadline: 30th July 2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sociology
Summary of PhD Program:
We currently have strong research communities in the fields of social inequality, migration, integration and diversity, cultural and political participation, urban studies, sustainable transformations, population dynamics, and work, organisations and politics. The call is not thematically limited to these topics, but preference can be given to candidates with projects that align with the department’s supervisory capacity. Applicants are expected to demonstrate through their application letter and project proposal how they will contribute to the development of sociology at the department.
Application Deadline: 1st September 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in The Political Psychology of AI
Summary of PhD Program:
While some optimistic viewpoints suggest that AI may serve as a catalyst for and equalizer of political participation, alternative perspectives raise concerns about the potential adverse impacts of AI, which could pose threats to democratic engagement and its overall functionality. The doctoral candidate will engage in research projects centered around political psychology, investigating the psychological effects of AI, and in particularly generative AI such as large language models (e.g., Gemini, Grok, ChatGPT, CoPilot, MyAI) or image models (e.g., DALLE, Midjourney), has on political attitudes, trust in democratic institutions, and the extent of civic engagement.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Law
Summary of PhD Program:
The Faculty of Law at the University of Oslo is the largest legal academic research community in Norway. The objective of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree. The candidate must be qualified for admission to the PhD programme at the Faculty of Law. The fellowship period is preferably for 4 years, with 25 % compulsory teaching duties. This presupposes that the fellow is able to conduct teaching in subjects where there is a need for more teaching resources at the Faculty.

Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD candidate will be associated with the interdisciplinary research group AI Democracy – How can Artificial Intelligence (AI) change political participation and democracy? (uio.no) The research group is funded by the initiative UIO:Democracy and will commence in the fall of 2024. We desire the PhD candidate to utilize knowledge, methods, and perspectives from social sciences and humanities to better understand how Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially generative AI and large AI models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney, and Dalle, can influence and alter the foundations of political engagement and democratic participation. Applicants are requested to develop a project description related to the AI-Democracy theme, describing theory, research questions, and methodology.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in affiliated to the research initiative Eco-Emotions
Summary of PhD Program:
The main aim of the project is to discuss how humans affectively deal with environmental change, as represented in and through literature, from the past and today, in the North and globally. The current environmental crisis has made us aware of the pressing need for new insight, pertaining to the deeper emotive structures of humanity and the cognitive mechanisms that condition our relationship to the environment. The two main research questions of the project are: (1) How does literature represent and describe affective responses to environmental change? (2) What effect does literature have on our emotions and thoughts, and how can it contribute to sustainability in times of environmental transformations? By discussing these research questions, the project will harvest the yet unexploited potential of powerful, large-scale narratives from the past and today, which have the potential to activate new ways of thinking about and relating to our environment.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Philosophy of Science – “AssemblingLife”
Summary of PhD Program:
Many complex structures and processes of life are at least partly the result of spontaneous self-assembly processes. In the AssemblingLife project, a central aim is, within the framework of philosophy of science, to develop new ideas of life and life science explanation by bringing in the increasing knowledge and awareness of self-assembly processes from various scientific fields (for example nanoscience, molecular biology and soft material science). Important objectives are to provide a comprehensive analysis of the concept and idea of self-assembly across fields and scales and to decipher differences, similarities and connections between self-assembly and ideas of self-organization of living systems. The project aims to challenge (but also to build on) existing accounts of explanation in philosophy of biology and life sciences, such as current accounts of genetic causation as well as mechanist and interventionist ideas of explanation.
