Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), Norway is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.
1. Fully Funded PhD in applied ecology: Quantifying and mapping illegal mortality of large carnivores
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Illegal killing of wildlife is a global phenomenon with substantial impacts on biodiversity and wildlife management. Due to its cryptic nature, most illegal deaths remain undetected. This severely limits our ability to understand the drivers of illegal killing, its importance for the dynamics of wildlife populations, as well as the best ways to mitigate its impacts. In this project, the PhD candidate will use advanced spatially explicit methods and multiple data sources to quantify and map hidden mortality in large carnivore populations in Norway and Sweden. A promising approach are hybrid models integrating both spatiotemporal deep learning and hierarchical structure.
Application Deadline: 15th October 2024

2. Fully Funded PhD in Theoretical Electrochemistry
Summary of Funded PhD Program
A PhD position in Theoretical Electrochemistry is available at the Department of Physics at the Faculty of Science and Technology. The PhD position is for a period of 3 years. We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented applied mathematician, physicist, or (electro)chemist to join the group of dr. Mathijs Janssen. The successful candidate will study electrolytes in porous electrodes using continuum mathematical models and molecular simulations. We will use these models to guide and interpret our collaborator’s ongoing experiments, searching for promising materials for next-generation fuel cells, batteries, and supercapacitors.
Application Deadline: 8th October 2024
3. Fully Funded PhD in Environmental Impact Analysis for Sustainable Aquaculture
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Aquaculture is currently the fastest-growing food production sector globally, with significant potential for environmental impact due to inadequate waste management practices within its production systems. SEA-CYCLE seeks to develop knowledge that enhances sustainable approaches to existing sludge and wastewater handling processes while minimizing pollution in the marine environment. The project proposes technologies that contribute to circular approaches in the aquaculture sector, reducing environmental pollution through sustainable wastewater treatment and resource recovery techniques.
Application Deadline: 22nd October 2024

4. 02 Fully Funded PhD in computational host/microbiome genomics (hologenomics)
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The positions are part of HoloGen, a MSCA Doctoral Network that will train the next generation of researchers in the emerging field of hologenomics. Microorganisms living in and on animal hosts impact nearly every biological process, and hologenomics aims to uncover how hosts and microbes interact. Understanding these interactions will transform fields spanning from basic biology to applied science in agrobiology, biomedicine, and more.
Application Deadline: 31st October 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD in mathematical models for power systems stability
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Power grid systems are intricate networks responsible for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy from generation facilities to end-users. These systems encompass both synchronous generators as well as inverter-based generators. The reliability and efficiency of power grids are contingent upon the precise coordination and control of these diverse components. As the name implies, a power grid is a network – or graph – of interacting units. The study of these networks is coined graph theory. Power grids can be conceptualised as diffusively coupled networks, where nodes represent generators and edges denote transmission lines. Simultaneously, they can be viewed as flow networks, where power flows from sources to sinks in a directed manner.

6. Fully Funded PhD in Holobiomics of resource efficiency in Atlantic Salmon
Summary of Funded PhD Program
We at the Department of Animal and Aquacultural Sciences (IHA), Faculty of Biosciences (BIOVIT) at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) in Ås near Oslo, seek to fill a three-year PhD–position in Animal Sciences with main focus on quantitative genetics as a way to characterise holobiomics and hologenomics. The PhD project “Holobiomics of resource efficiency in Atlantic salmon” is a part of the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Doctoral Network HoloGen.
Application Deadline: 25th October 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD in comparative evolutionary genomics
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The Faculty of Chemistry, Biotechnology and Food Science at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) has one vacant 3-year PhD–position within comparative evolutionary genomics, with the possibility of extension for up to one year. Whole genome duplication (WGD) has played a central role in the evolution of vertebrates, creating opportunities for evolutionary innovations. Our research has shown that WGD spark strong selection pressure on the function and regulation of many genes and pathways. However, the precise mechanisms underlying these gene regulatory adaptations remain largely unknown.
