University of Bergen, Norway invites online application for multiple fully funded PhD Programs in various research areas. Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible.
1. 02 PhD Programs in Law
Summary of PhD Positions:
The project LaW-BALANCE seeks to provide a better understanding of the legal framework of working life in transition and develop knowledge on how law can function as an instrument to achieve an inclusive working life and a well-functioning welfare state. The project centers around the concept of ‘work-life balance’, understood as an individual’s evaluation of their satisfaction with the fit of work and private life.
LaW-BALANCE focuses on two key instruments related to work-life balance: flexible work arrangements and the availability of paid leave. The project will also look at the protection against discrimination when claiming and enforcing these rights. Through in-depth analyses of Norwegian labour and social law – incl. studies on the impact of EU and EEA law, combined with comparative legal analyses of selected countries, LaW-BALANCE will break new ground in providing a better understanding of the legal framework that regulates modern working life.
Application Deadlines: 1st March 2023

3. PhD Programs in Nanotechnology
Summary of PhD Positions:
The position is related to the TMS Starting Grant project, which main objective is to develop 3D diamond growth technology dedicated to medical implants. The project aims to demonstrate diamond synthesis on complex-shaped 3D implants and improve integration of conventional osteo-implant materials such as titanium. The fellow will get the opportunity to be involved in the development of a novel chemical vapor deposition system and the development of tailored diamond-based coatings for orthopaedic implants. The characterization of tribological properties of diamond-based coatings and assessment of their biocompatibility will be an integral part of the project.

4. PhD Programs in Plant Ecology
Summary of PhD Positions:
There is a vacancy for a PhD Research Fellow in plant ecology at the Department of Biological Sciences. The position is for a fixed term of 3 years with the possibility of a 4th year with compulsory other work (e.g. teaching duties at the Department).The position is financed by EU and connected to the research project RangeX (Mechanisms underlying the success and impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning of range-expanding species under climate change) funded by the BiodivERsA COFUND Call on “Biodiversity and Climate Change”. The project consortium involves partners from Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, South Africa, Sweden and Switzerland, and will work closely with collaborators from across the global Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN).

5. PhD Programs in Clinical Science
Summary of PhD Positions:
The Mohn Center for Diabetes Precision Medicine is a national referral center for patients with diabetes and an internationally recognized center for precision medicine. This project proposes to use machine learning on rich biobank and registry information to better tailor the care provided to patients. The candidate will be given the opportunity to work on the unique Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa), the Norwegian Diabetes Registry, and the Norwegian MODY registry.
In collaboration with the other members of the team, the candidate will be in charge of designing genetic, proteomic, and phenotypic risk scores for patients with diabetes. These scores will be used to locate patients on the spectrum of the different forms of diabetes, and when possible, adapt medical care accordingly. The PhD candidate will be given the necessary training to conduct this ambitious project, the opportunity to contribute to high-profile research publications, and receive active mentoring for the development of their career.
Application Deadlines: 9th February 2023
6. PhD Programs in Clinical Science
Summary of PhD Positions:
The project for the PhD position will focus on assessment of molecular data from breast cancer patients treated within clinical trials (NCT02624973 and NCT00496795). Samples from patients have been subjected to whole genome sequencing, whole transcriptome sequencing, targeted methylation sequencing and a variety of immunohistochemical and molecular methods. Data will be used to identify molecular features associated with good / poor response to therapy Data will be used to model tumours’ subclonal evolution during treatment and to characterise treatment sensitive versus treatment resistant subclones within individual tumours.

7. PhD Programs in Sedimentary Geology
Summary of PhD Positions:
The main ambition for DeepReservoir is to understand the controls on development of porosity-preserving coats of the mineral chlorite on quartz grains. This is important firstly because chlorite coats preserve reservoir properties in deep (3-6 km) reservoirs, something which is of key importance in infrastructure-led exploration for hydrocarbons. There is currently no way to assess the probability of good chlorite coats in un-drilled structures, something which makes deep prospects risky. Secondly, chlorite effectively mineralizes CO2. This effect will be important for large-scale CO2-storage, but we currently know little about the distribution of chlorite in subsurface reservoir rocks.

9. PhD Programs in Climate Change in Media and Public Perception
Summary of PhD Positions:
The PhD candidate will be supervised by, and work closely with, Associate Professor Dr. Silje Kristiansen, on research connected to climate change in the media and in public perception. Projects can focus on either media or public perception, or a combination of the two. Projects should focus on a Norwegian, Nordic, or international comparative perspective (including Norway) media context. Specific topics of relevance could address media and stakeholder communication and public perceptions concerning the environment, food, risk, science, behavioral and lifestyle change, and health.
The PhD candidate is expected to develop a research project fulfilling the requirements of a PhD in close collaboration with Dr. Kristiansen in the early phase of the fellowship. At the application stage, candidates are asked to submit a letter of motivation, which describes how the candidate’s relevant competence and how this competence matches the research focus described above. The PhD candidate will have their/her/his workplace at CET and is expected to contribute to making CET a dynamic and productive academic environment.

10. PhD Programs in de novo drug design
Summary of PhD Positions:
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. The PhD student will be responsible for the de novo inhibitor design. This responsibility includes the computationally derived fitness, or scoring, function, for which the PhD project may also involve development of machine-learning models to speed up the design process. The PhD research fellow will work at the interface between informatics, chemistry, and biology, and be key to achieve interdisciplinary communication and research.
