12. Fully Funded PhD Position in geology and geochemistry

Summary of PhD Program:

The Oslo Rift contains marine black shales deposited during anoxic conditions in the Cambrian and Early Ordovician. The shales are enriched in organic matter, sulfur and a range of heavy metals. During weathering, the sulfides oxidize and metals are released to the environment. For these reasons, the shales represent a major environmental problem during construction work such as tunnels and roads. This project aims at understanding how the shale mineralogy, background maturation and metamorphism influence the reactivity, weathering and the metal release. We will combine fieldwork on natural exposures with drill cores and road sections. The candidate will get experience with fieldwork, mapping, geochemistry of rocks and water, thermodynamic modelling, and petrography.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Experimental Fluid Mechanics

Summary of PhD Program:

Access to fresh water is the foundation for life on Earth that poses severe restrictions and requirements for life in regions that contend with water scarcity, a problem that will increase in the future with the growing effects of climate change. Water scarcity is not longer a distant problem. In 2022 Europe has been hit by a severe drought impacting agriculture and energy production. A fog net is a low cost, efficient and simple technology for harvesting water from the atmosphere.

The goal of this sustainability oriented project is to develop a new understanding of the fundamental fluid mechanics on and through fog nets to devise new designs to optimize their water yield. The planned work is experimental, to be performed in our lab facilities, and is also expected to involve theoretical models of the complex flow. Field work is planned together with a non-profit organization in Morocco to give ways to test the concepts developed in the projects and there will be opportunities to work with international collaborators.

22. Fully Funded PhD Position in Social Anthropology

Summary of PhD Program:

Amber is a fossil resin secreted by plants between 300 and 16 million years ago, mostly during phases of climate breakdown and ecological crises. Today, geologists and palaeontologists believe that the study of amber specimens can help us answering key questions about the planet’s climatic history, and understanding how and why species adapted, or failed to adapt, during previous phases of mass extinction. Amber is also a well-known and sought-after organic gemstone, fuelling violent mining economies from Myanmar to Russia, Ukraine, and Mexico, and constitutes a global market increasingly driven by Chinese demand. Amber thus offers a privileged entry point to interrogate the current moment characterised by growing extractivism, trade, environmental crises, and conflict. And it is a compelling lens through which we can address some of the key empirical and theoretical challenges posed by the Anthropocene.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Machine Learning for Offensive Security

Summary of PhD Program:

Machine learning and especially Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have trans-formed the way of data processing in many areas of the modern society. This includes automatic decision systems like in autonomous driving or automatic loan application processing. Special machine learning approaches like reinforce-ment learning (RL) are getting increasingly popular to apply interactive pro-cesses for example in ChatGPT. When applied to hacking in offensive security, a continuous interaction between the services and the actors are required. The vulnerable service provides different answers for different user requests that makes it possible for the attacker to learn how to take advantage of a service vulnerability with customized inputs. This type of modelling matches the rein-forcement learning paradigm where the threat actor is the RL agent and the ser-vice is the environment.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Philosophy of Science – AssemblingLife

Summary of PhD Program:

This PhD position will be specifically associated with one of two research strands in AssemblingLife:

(1) One strand considers how the understanding of genetic causation may be transformed by bringing in current knowledge about self-assembly processes. One possible route would be to investigate genetic material as “nudgers” of self-assembly processes.

(2) A second research focus will be an investigation of the concept and idea of self-assembly across fields and scales, and how it connects to the idea of self-organization in living systems. The candidate´s proposed doctoral research need not address these topics exactly as described here. Candidates should, though, in their research description and application address how their proposed research relates to one of the research strands described.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in fault characterization (structural geology)

Summary of PhD Program:

Faults are complex structures that substantially influence the mechanical behavior and hydraulic connectivity of rock formations. One of the main challenges in studying faults (both seismic and aseismic portions) is the accessibility to fault’s 3D structure. Depending on the resolution of the measuring methods and the fault accessibility, fault geometric characteristics could be constrained and biased. Therefore, application of modern visualization techniques that can provide a more complete view of fault geometry and growth is essential.

In this regard, we are going to utilize state-of-the-art drone imaging in outcrops and deep learning on seismic data in order to reduce the uncertainty of fault data, characterize faults from different scales and hence get a better knowledge of fault 3D structure. Utilizing this multiscale approach, we will be able to improve fault scaling laws and fill the gaps in the global datasets of faults from different scales. A detailed project plan will be developed in collaboration with the successful candidate at the start of PhD.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Twentieth-century Norwegian liteature

Summary of PhD Program:

The PhD fellow will take part in the Norwegian Research Council-funded project “Made Abroad: Producing Norwegian World Literature in a Time of Rupture, 1900-1950” (MAP), led by Aina Nøding at the National Library of Norway. The project team includes Giuliano D’Amico at the Centre for Ibsen Studies. MAP uncovers the paths of Norwegian literature towards a world readership during the first dramatic half of the twentieth century.

In this period, Norwegian authors faced a series of ruptures and challenging circumstances: two world wars following new forms of nationalism, changes to traditional cultural, religious, and linguistic hegemonies, as well as international copyright laws, the introduction of global mass media, and new methods of book production and distribution. Significantly rewriting Norwegian literary history, MAP also challenges our view of centre-periphery dynamics of literary exchange across borders, forging a highly innovative approach combining reception and translation studies, sociology of literature, book and cultural history.
