PhD position summary/title :–2 PhD positions, Department of Comparative Politics

The project addresses the impact of demographic change on representative democracy. The growing proportion of senior citizens across European populations increases their influence on elections and policy decisions. How does this affect the political representation of old, young, and future generations’ interests? To assess the impact of demographic change on Generational Political Pluralism in Norway, Europe, and beyond, the project investigates generational cleavages in two integral parts of policymaking: public opinion and political representation. The empirical analyses draw on a combination of observational, behavioural, and experimental data and will use a range of innovative methods like survey experiments, text analysis, and social network analysis to make descriptive and causal inferences.

Background: Minimal-change disease (MCD) is a kidney disease that primarily affects glomerular podocytes. MCD represents the most frequent chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children and adolescents. Conventional treatment involves steroids. However, children and adolescents with MCD may be primarily or secondarily resistant to steroids. Main objective: Customize the management of MCD by identifying podocyte markers to supplement the diagnostic renal biopsy with increased prognostic value and then predict treatment response in a non-invasive manner.

5. Fully Funded PhD Program

Non-traditional stable isotopes 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 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 ophiolites, 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.

This is important firstly because chlorite coats preserve reservoir properties in deep (3-6 km) reservoirs, something which is of key importance in infrastructure-led exploration for hydrocarbons. There is currently no way to assess the probability of good chlorite coats in un-drilled structures, something which makes deep prospects risky. Secondly, chlorite effectively mineralizes CO2. This effect will be important for large-scale CO2-storage, but we currently know little about the distribution of chlorite in subsurface reservoir rocks.

10. PhD Programs in de novo drug design

Development of new pharmaceuticals requires efficient navigation of the vast chemical space. This may be achieved via heuristic computational methods, also termed “de novo” design methods, which may optimize toward desirable drug candidates without having to explore the complete chemical space. Via an interdisciplinary approach that includes informatics, computational chemistry, synthesis, computational biology, and biomedicine, the project team will develop radically new de novo molecular design methods. Specifically, the team will develop methods that integrate expert knowledge early on, via machine-learning models and on-the-fly human intervention in the otherwise automated process.

The new methods will be applied to design inhibitors of targets for cancer and antibiotics, the most promising of which will be synthesized and tested. The PhD student will be responsible for the de novo inhibitor design. This responsibility includes the computationally derived fitness, or scoring, function, for which the PhD project may also involve development of machine-learning models to speed up the design process. The PhD research fellow will work at the interface between informatics, chemistry, and biology, and be key to achieve interdisciplinary communication and research.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow parasitology/immunology.

As of today, salmon lice represent one the main challenges for the Norwegian salmon farming industry, as they diminish the fish welfare of both wild and farmed salmonids. The project will take a closer look at the host-parasite interaction between salmon and salmon lice, where the salmon lice’s glandular secretion will be in focus. Recently, we have characterized a number of proteins that appear to be important in the host-parasite interaction, e.g. by dampening immune responses and blood coagulation in the host. The main goal of the PhD project is to investigate whether it is possible to use these proteins in a DNA vaccine against salmon lice. In addition to testing the DNA vaccine’s potential to prevent lice infestation, new constructs and injection methods will be tested to see whether this can increase the mucosal immune response. The project will thus not only be aimed at salmon lice but has the potential to increase knowledge in general about the use of DNA vaccines against mucosal pathogens. The PhD student will work in the  Sea Lice Research Centre (SLRC) , together with researchers that have a long and wide experience with salmon lice.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in speleothem-based paleoclimate research

Speleothems are an important terrestrial climate archive and new ways of using this archive for reconstructing climate are continuously being developed. In this project we apply fluid inclusion microthermometry for quantitative paleo-temperature reconstructions. The method is based on the density of drip water relicts that are preserved in microscopic fluid inclusions. In the FluidMICS project, we aim to further develop and improve this method, to test its applicability to speleothems from various low latitude climate settings, and to apply it for climate reconstructions through the late Quaternary and beyond.

The PhD student will contribute to both method development and climate reconstruction tasks. You will be part of a research team encompassing colleagues in Bergen and several international collaborators. Research stays abroad are therefore envisaged.

Candidates should be comfortable with microscopy and have an interest in understanding small scales (speleothem microstructures) as well as answering big climate questions.

Deadline : 30th April 2024

(05) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in applied and computational mathematics

The topic is fundamental fluid mechanics, best suited for a candidate with a background in fundamental (rather than industrial) topics in applied mathematics, oceanography, or mechanical (coastal/ocean) engineering. The detailed topic deals with the physics-oriented theoretical/numerical modelling of a complex system; for instance, the coupling between nonlinear surface waves and shear currents, or fluid and structure (e.g., floating ice, microplastics, or the next generation offshore wind turbines) interaction. Which specific sub-field topic will depend on the candidate’s qualifications and interests and be decided together with the supervisor. The methodology for the specific topic in the sub-field will be a mix of theoretical work and numerical modelling, see, e.g., Li (2023, J. Fluid Mech., Vol.960,  A33 ), Xin et al. (Coast. Eng., Vol.183,  104304 ), or Li & Chabchoub (2024, Geophys. Res. Lett., 10.1029/2023GL107381).

The successful candidate will be part of a broader research team focussing on their overall topic. The Fluid Mechanics Group is internationally excellent with a cutting-edge team of researchers from many branches of fluid mechanics. The candidate will be part of a vibrant scientific environment.

PhD position summary/title: PhD: Development and application of Machine Learning for downscaling climate predictions/projections

Despite significant improvements in climate modelling during the last decades, predictions of climate from monthly to decadal time scales remain challenging. Further, both predictions and projections of climate and its impacts are highly uncertain at the scales which are most relevant for impacts and adaptation. I4C aims to improve the quality, accessibility and usability of near-term climate information and services at local to regional scales to strengthen and support end-user adaptation and planning. While CORDEX aims to develop robust assessments, and physical understanding, of climate change impacts at local to regional scales.  

This position will focus on the application of machine learning to develop computationally efficient emulators of high-resolution state-of-the art regional climate models. The goal of the emulators is to learn the relationship between large-scale predictions made by coarse resolution dynamical models and local surface variables of interest (such as near surface temperature, precipitation, wind speeds). This is accomplished by training the emulators to mimic the results of computationally expensive high-resolution regional climate models. The result is a suite of computationally lightweight algorithms capable of generating large ensembles that can translate coarse resolution operational climate predictions or projections into robust and reliable regional and local information.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Quality Enhancing Mathematics Education

In today’s technological society, competence within mathematical subjects is more important than ever to succeed in solving today’s and future challenges: mathematics is the language of science. The Department of Mathematics (MI) has a significant teaching responsibility to develop necessary mathematical competence, especially in the early stages of STEM education courses. Teaching arrangements with plenary lectures, group exercises, and mandatory submissions have been standard for several decades, but inspired by new student-active teaching forms, the department has initiated several study quality projects aimed at increasing students’ learning outcomes.

In this project, one wishes to examine how collaborative learning can contribute to increased learning outcomes in mathematics by developing students’ collaboration skills and strengthening an inclusive collaboration culture. Additionally, one wants to investigate students’ sense of belongingness, cross-cutting skills, and academic achievements.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in the early Archean terrestrial sulfur cycle

Sulfur has been a key element in understanding Earth’s surface conditions through geological time. It is preserved in the rock record in both an oxidized (sulfate) and reduced (sulfide) form, and atmospheric, chemical and biological redox reactions produce characteristic changes in stable sulfur isotope ratios that can be traced in rocks all the way back to the Archean eon. Multiple sulfur isotopes have been used successfully to trace sulfur cycling in Archean marine settings, but relatively little is known about near-shore and terrestrial environments. Sulfur isotopes in these locations are expected to better capture atmospheric processes as well as microbial metabolisms under elevated input of nutrients from emerged land, and provide an important comparison for the Archean marine sulfur isotope record.

This PhD position is dedicated to increase our understanding of the early Archean terrestrial sulfur cycle. The project will primarily use samples from the 3.2 Ga Moodies Group in the Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa that have been obtained through scientific drilling in the ICDP project Barberton Archean Surface Environments (BASE).

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Organometallic and Homogeneous Catalysis

Ammonia is the most important ingredient in the production of artificial fertilizers and is also a very promising carbon-free energy carrier. Ammonia is produced via the so-called Haber-Bosch process, which requires high temperatures and pressures using hydrogen from natural gas. The research group works to make ammonia production more sustainable and environmentally friendly and develops catalysts and processes for the synthesis of ammonia directly from water and nitrogen. The research fellow’s project is part of this work, and the scholarship holder will, together with other researchers in the project group, design, synthesize, test, and immobilize new catalysts for the conversion of nitrogen and water into ammonia. In general, the research group uses insights and predictions from quantum chemical calculations to design catalysts, and these catalysts are next synthesized and tested in the group’s laboratory. We are looking for a research fellow with the right background and motivation to strengthen the experimental side of the overall project. Specifically, this work will consist of synthesis of novel molecular and immobilized catalysts, followed by evaluation of the performance of the new catalysts using bench-scale reactors. Studies of catalyst regeneration and reuse may also be included.

The successful candidate will be integrated in a team ranging from bachelor’s and master’s students, via PhD students to postdoctoral researchers. The candidate thus has ample opportunity to both receive and give supervision and to develop leadership skills.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in machine learning and geomatics on natural hydrocarbon seepage

Abundant recurrent oil slicks which originate from discrete points at the seabed are clearly visible on satellite remote sensing data in the North Sea. This PhD position will be dedicated to using advanced machine learning (deep learning) techniques to map oil slicks in time and space across the North Sea. This has many important implications for society, as these have considerable ecological, environmental and economic implications. Geological hydrocarbon seepage is also a useful analogue to better understanding potential seepage from CO2 repositories.

The successful candidate will utilise space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to understand the distribution and temporality of oil slick activity. This will involve using the latest machine learning techniques to reliably and robustly interpret imagery from a range of SAR sensors. These data will be combined with data about geology, meteorology, ecology, industrial activity, and fisheries to verify observations and understand drivers. The candidate will be embedded in a research group investigating these topics from geological, geophysical and ecological perspectives, and the work of the candidate will be important to unify observations from various disciplines. We encourage those with a strong machine learning background to apply, training of geological or hydrocarbon related issues will be provided from the research group.

There will be opportunities to join relevant research cruises, attend relevant summer schools and conferences, participate in geological field courses and work closely with partners in industry and state administration throughout the project period.
