1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Experimental Nuclear Resonances
Summary of PhD Program:
The research of the Nuclear Physics group is focused on the study of atomic nuclei under extreme conditions, e.g. nuclei at high excitation energy at the transition from quantum order to chaos, exotic nuclei with an unusual ratio of protons and neutrons, and nuclear reactions in astrophysical environments. To obtain experimental information under such conditions is crucial in order to constrain and improve theoretical nuclear structure models, and to understand how elements heavier than iron are formed in explosive stellar environments.
Application Deadline: 27th February 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Experimental Nuclear Physics for medical applications
Summary of PhD Program:
One of the research focuses of the Nuclear Physics group is the application of nuclear physics for medical applications. This pertains to studies of novel production pathways for medically relevant radionuclides. Such radionuclides are used for a range of current cancer procedures, whereby the decay radiation is used for diagnostic and/or treatment purposes. Unlike external beam therapy, which is performed on predetermined sites on the patient, the biomolecules employed by targeted radionuclide therapy are attracted towards cancerous cells throughout the body. This enables the simultaneous treatment of unidentified, secondary malignant growths. In particular, this project is focused on emerging alpha-emitting radionuclides for targeted alpha therapy (TAT): an exciting new treatment modality for cancer.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Geosciences (Earth History)
Summary of PhD Program:
Much of the research in historical geosciences is concerned the plausible relationships between different (reconstructed) variables, such the atmospheric concentrations of different gases (e.g. oxygen, carbon dioxide), features of the surface of the earth (e.g. continental area, tectonic activities, snow and ice cover, biodiversity), and characteristics of the earth’s interior. These variables are variously estimated via proxies (e.g. isotopes) or using models with different types of input parameters, giv-en a set of assumptions, usually based on modern measurements. While there is a lot of focus on both the generation of proxy data and the construction of earth history models, there is less focus on time-series analyses and especially causal inference, even though many of the questions posed in the recent literature concern unraveling causal relationships among time series. There is hence a need to use better time se-ries tools and further develop time series tools for temporally patchy, highly uncer-tain data common in historical geology.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Geoscience
Summary of PhD Program:
Our planet formed 4.567 billion years ago and as it cooled down, it became differentiated into layers. The lighter outermost layer became the continental crust and the first continents were probably formed in the Archean, but their extent and geographical distribution are still unknown. The transition period from a magnesium- rich upper continental crust to a magnesium-poor upper continental crust occurred between 3 and 2.5 billion years ago, and may have set the scene for the formation of living matter that required subaerial land masses. It is therefore crucial to determine when, where, and also the extent of continental masses in order to assess the habitability conditions of early Earth. Direct evidences of these conditions are sparse, but one can use them to test various models of continental crust extent which were geo-chemically derived. The aim of this project is to construct the paleogeography of Early Earth at selected time intervals during the time of transition between the Early Earth tectonic mode (stagnant or sluggish lid) to plate tectonics.

The PhD project will focus on variety-aware machine translation in a broad sense. While there have been impressive improvements in the field of machine translation in recent years, most systems define their source and target lan-guages at a relatively coarse level (e.g. “English”, “Norwegian”) and do not take into account different types of variation that exist within these language denominations: national varieties (e.g. American vs. British English), writing forms (e.g. Bokmål vs. Nynorsk), dialects, historical varieties, learner language, simple/plain language, as well as different genres and styles.
Application Deadline: 29th February 2024
17. Fully Funded PhD Position in Plant Reproduction and Developmental Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon giving rise to parent-of-origin allele specific expression that occurs mainly in placental tissue/endosperm in animals and plants and is hypothesized to be involved in the allocation of nutrient resources to the growing embryo. Although imprinting has evolved independently in plant and animal lineages, similar epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone tail modification, and sRNA-guided silencing mechanisms are conserved. In plants, genomic imprinting is hypothesized to be established in the gametes and reflected in parent-of-origin allele specific expression in the endosperm after fertilization [Hornslien et al. Plant Physiol. 2019].
