2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mathematical Methods for Data-Driven Computational Mechanics
Summary of PhD Program:
Offshore wind energy is fundamental to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal. Although offshore wind energy has an important degree of maturity, this technology requires to experiment a change of paradigm to guarantee a sustainable development for the years to come. One pathway to achieve this paradigm shift relies on the development of data-driven approaches in computational mechanics. The research activities related to this position pursue the development of mathematical methods for data-driven computational mechanics that will be subsequently applied to the aerohydroelastic analysis of offshore wind turbines.
This novel computing paradigm enables the transition from standard data-starved approaches to modern data-rich approaches, in which the underlying initial-boundary value problem is reformulated in such a way that loads, boundary conditions and constitutive models are completely or partially replaced by some form of experimental data. The research activities associated to the position target also at a close collaboration with ongoing research at the BOW and GFI. It is expected that the results emerging from these research activities will be published in highly-ranked international journals.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Informatics
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project is advised by Prof. H. Hauser (visual data science) and co-advised by Assoc.-Prof. N. Blaser (machine learning) as well as Prof. Th. Spengler (meteorology). Profs. Th. Ertl and M. Sedlmair from the Univ. of Stuttgart are also involved in the planned research. The project synopsis is:To understand inherent uncertainties in weather prediction, it is common to consult stochastically perturbed simulation ensembles with highly detailed ensemble members. Extracting relevant conclusions from such ensembles is very challenging and depends on a successful condensation of the data. Especially when aiming at an interpretation of an entire ensemble in terms of domain-relevant features, such as cyclones, fronts, rain, etc., summarization is very difficult and only possible on the basis of expert knowledge. We foresee that new visual data science methods from this project will significantly support the study of such rich ensembles.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Acoustics (Fiberoptic Distributed Acoustic Sensing)
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project is part of the Smart Ocean Centre. The overall aim of the Centre is to create a wireless observation system for multi-parameter monitoring of underwater environments and installations, based on a flexible and autonomous smart sensor network.
In contrast to electromagnetic and optical waves, acoustic waves travel great distances underwater, and therefore acoustic sensor technology forms the basis for many remote sensing systems designed for monitoring ocean man-made sources and marine creatures. As such acoustic sensor systems can satisfy a range of ocean monitoring applications, from monitoring the integrity of offshore wind farms and other industrial subsea installations, as well as in monitoring shipping traffic, the influence of ocean noise on animal behaviour, and climate studies.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in Space Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (TGF) and gamma-ray glows are emissions of gamma-rays of terrestrial origin associated to lightning and thunderstorm activity. The project aims at the understanding of the relation between TGFs, glows, and lightning discharges by the scientific exploitation of data from the ALOFT flight campaign. ALOFT is a mission designed to detect and characterize TGFs and glows by a suite of detectors hosted on a NASA high-altitude aircraft flying at 20 km altitude above thunderstorms. ALOFT is scheduled for flight during July 2023 from Florida and will observe thunderstorm regions over Central America and the Caribbean for a minimum of 50 flight hours.
The onboard measurements will be complemented by ground-measurements in the radio bands from several stations deployed in all the Central America region. The ALOFT mission is funded by the University of Bergen (PI Prof. Nikolai Østgaard) in collaboration with NASA and several partners in USA and Europe. The ALOFT mission is an experiment unique of its kind, promising to bring breakthrough measurements in the field of atmospheric electricity.

15. Fully Funded PhD Position in stable isotope geochemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
Non-traditional stable isotopes (e.g. Fe, Cu) provide a promising tool for understanding subsurface processes in seafloor hydrothermal systems. However, interpretations from natural samples are currently hampered by limited knowledge about stable isotope fractionation under hydrothermal conditions. This project therefore aims to study the isotope effects that occur during the leaching and mobilization of metals from host rocks in the reaction zones of hydrothermal systems, using a rock record-based approach.
The successful candidate will collect and study samples from hydrothermal alteration zones in different ophiolites and drill cores, determine their Fe and Cu isotopic composition using a multi-collector ICP-MS and use this to assess the sign and magnitude of isotope fractionation during hydrothermal leaching. The results from this project will be used to re-evaluate recently obtained Fe and Cu isotope data from active seafloor hydrothermal vent fields.
