1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Hydrogen Safety:Hydrogen Explosions in Complex Geometries
Summary of PhD Program:
The objective of the PhD project is to investigate the strength of knowledge (SoK) in risk assessments for hydrogen systems where turbulent premixed combustion in complex geometries represents a hazard. It is also relevant to compare the SoK for similar systems using different fuels, and to explore the predictive capabilities of consequence models through blind-prediction benchmark studies. Depending on the qualifications and preferences of the candidate, the work may entail experimental investigations and/or modelling in the open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code PDRFOAM.
Application Deadline: 1st September 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Borehole Geophysics – Center for Research-based Innovation (DigiWells)
Summary of PhD Program:
The overall goal of this PhD project is to develop methodologies for real-time modeling and inversion of geophysical well logs, with a particular focus on borehole electromagnetic data during drilling. This includes the further development and application of fast solvers for Maxwell’s equations and nonlinear inversion algorithms that we have already developed in a previous PhD project.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Literature and Generative AI
Summary of PhD Program:
The project is part of the research project AI STORIES: Narrative Archetypes for Artificial Intelligence and should result in a PhD in either Digital Culture, Comparative Literature or Nordic Literature. The AI STORIES project is a European Research Council Advanced Grant led by Professor Jill Walker Rettberg, with a team of three postdocs, another doctoral fellow, a research adviser, a data management expert and a research assistant. AI STORIES explores the hypothesis that deep narrative structures in the datasets used to train generative AI models are replicated and perhaps exaggerated in the output of generative AI, and that this could lead to culturally specific narrative biases.

Furthermore, the group takes part in ATLAS upgrade, with participation in the ITk-Pixels project, with responsibilities concerning testing and delivery of pixel modules for the ITk (ATLAS Inner Tracker).
Application Deadline: 14th August 2025
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in reservoir physics (CCS): Sealing properties of CO2 hydrate in sediments
Summary of PhD Program:
CO2hydrates may form a secondary seal during deep CO2 storage in saline aquifers or depleted oil/gas fields. This may happen as escaped, buoyant CO2 migrates upward through a migration pathway (e.g., permeable pore space, along the well bore, faults), and eventually migrates into the CO2 gas hydrate stability zone. Hydrate-based sealing may be a significant factor in the de-risking of many potential storage sites, where the reservoir and caprock are situated below or in the CO2 gas hydrate stability zone.
