1. Fully Funded PhD Position in bioreactors for aquaculture water treatment
Summary of PhD Program:
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) use biological water treatment to remove toxic compounds produced by the fish. Fluctuations in water quality can stress the biological reactors, thus impairing treatment efficiency and posing a risk to fish health. This project will explore stress adaptation in bioreactors and water treatment in aquaculture. The work will involve experimental studies on biofilm reactors. There may be opportunities to collaborate on other projects in water treatment and can include interactions with the aquaculture industry.
Application Deadline: 20th October 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Human Building Interaction
Summary of PhD Program:
The position is one of the four PhD fellowships belonging to a university-wide project called SWELL (Sustainable Built Environments for better Health and WELL-being). SWELL’s goal is to address the complex interaction between individual Humans’ HWB (health wellbeing) and the Built Environment (BE). Through new theoretical and empirical foundations by exploring and improving sustainable and adaptable BE (e.g. through technological and space innovations), this project will provide knowledge that allows for better HWB for individuals and societies. Interdisciplinary, cross-professional and multi-sector collaboration and Urban Living Labs (ULL) methodology will be employed as powerful vehicles for achieving greater social and economic goals.
Application Deadline: 21st September 2025

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Modern Economic History
Summary of PhD Program:
We offer an exciting 3-year PhD position that gives you the opportunity to develop a strong profile as researcher. The 3-year PhD fellowship is associated with a European Research Council/Horizon Europe research project, entitled “BLOCKADE: The Hidden Weapon. Blockade in the Era of the Two Worlds”. The project explores the impact and legacy of the (sea) blockades during and after both world wars and is undertaken by international teams in four locations, including at NTNU, the University of Freiburg, the University of Amsterdam and the University of Hamburg. For a position as a PhD fellow, the goal is a completed doctoral education and the attainment of a doctoral degree.
Application Deadline: 15th September 2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Wind Turbine Noise Prediction in the Norwegian Context
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD candidate is expected to develop an advanced engineering noise prediction model for efficient computation of sound propagation in a range-dependent atmosphere where the vertical sound speed gradient can deviate significantly from the standardized linear and log-linear profiles. The prediction model will consider typical Norwegian scenarios with a low density of buildings at the receiver, steep terrain between the turbines and the receiver with occasional diffraction during propagation.
