Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.
1. Fully Funded PhD in Fish Immunology
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Viral diseases present as great a challenge to fish as to humans – and it is difficult to make efficient vaccines protecting against viral diseases whether for humans or fish. Farmed fish are at particular risk for viral diseases due to intensive rearing practices and high stocking densities. More effective vaccines than those currently available can contribute to reduced mortality among the fish and thus contribute to several of the UN’s sustainability goals, including goal no. 2 which is to eradicate hunger. In this PhD project, we will develop an mRNA vaccine for salmon. We will tailor the vaccine for salmon, optimize the individual components of the vaccine and investigate how the salmon’s immune system responds after vaccination.
Application Deadline: 1st November 2024

2. Fully Funded PhD in physical oceanography
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This PhD project will focus on Ice Shelf Water (ISW) and ocean properties and currents just north of the floating ice shelf called Fimbulisen. This is also where the Norwegian research base Troll is located, and some of the activity will take place related to the annual cruises used to supply the base every Antarctic summer. The PhD will focus on processes in front of the ice shelf and under land-fast sea ice through detailed measurements of ISW outflows, frazil ice crystals and platelet ice. High-resolution in situ measurements of ice crystals and water column properties are planned, but detection of supercooled waters is challenging. Suspended ice crystals can be detected in standard water samples and may be compared to new acoustic sensing methods.
Application Deadline: 17th October 2024
3. Fully Funded PhD in Deep Sea Biology
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The WormFEST project aims to investigate the community composition, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning of Arctic worm forests. The successful candidate will compare worm forest communities across vents and seeps and explore the ecosystem functioning of the worm forest community by combining food web reconstruction using stable isotopes, and functional trait analyses. As part of the research activities of the Deep-Sea Biology research group, the candidate may get the opportunity to participate on research cruises to the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridges. Food-web and biological traits analyses will be performed in collaboration with researchers at the University of Aveiro (Portugal), and it might be possible for the student to travel to Aveiro to get additional training.
Application Deadline: 15th October 2024

4. Fully Funded PhD in high-resolution sedimentary dynamics of rifts during rapid climate change
Summary of Funded PhD Program
There is a vacancy for a PhD Research Fellows in high-resolution sedimentary dynamics of rifts during rapid climate change at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Bergen. The position is for a fixed-term period of 3 years with the possibility of a 4 th year with compulsory other work (e.g. teaching duties at the Department). The EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network for Climate-Tectonics Interactions (INITIATE, https://www.initiate-dn.eu/) comprises thirteen PhD projects. INITIATE focuses on training early-career researchers to understand how climate and tectonics interact across various spatial and temporal scales.
Application Deadline: 15th October 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD in Clinical Medicine
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The research project is part of the Horizon Europe-funded project EBV-MS, aimed at developing new treatments for MS and understanding the mechanisms by which EBV infection in only a few individuals leads to the development of MS. The current position is part of work package 2 (WP-2), which aims to test antiviral treatment for MS in clinical trials. The task of the doctoral candidate will be to work on tasks related to WP-2. The research project will contribute to understanding how EBV can lead to MS and to developing new treatment methods for the disease.

6. Fully Funded PhD in Tectonics, Climate and Sedimentation
Summary of Funded PhD Program
There is a vacancy for a PhD Research Fellow within tectonics, climate and sedimentation at the Department of Earth Science The position is for a fixed-term period of three years with the possibility of a 4th year with compulsory other work (e.g. teaching duties at the Department). The position is affiliated with the project “Paleocene-Early Eocene sedimentary systems in the northern North Sea and applications to reservoir characterization for subsurface CO2 storage”, a multidisciplinary project integrating seismic and well data on the Norwegian and UK continental shelf with numerical landscape modelling to understand the source-to-sink relationships across the UK-Norwegian boarder during the Paleocene and early Eocene.
Application Deadline: 3rd October 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD in Law
Summary of Funded PhD Program
There is a vacant position as a PhD fellow or Postdoctoral Fellow connected to the Centre on the Europeanisation of Norwegian Law (CENTENOL). The research at CENTENOL will develop new knowledge about EEA law and its impact on Norwegian law. The position is linked to the center’s work package on labor law. The position is a fixed-term contract. The term of employment for the position is 3 years, which can be extended to 4 years if the applicant is qualified to teach in compulsory courses in the Master’s program at the Faculty of Law.

8. Fully Funded PhD in Remote Sensing and Machine Learning of Snowpack Properties
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The successful candidate will work on integrating time series of optical and SAR satellite imagery within a deep learning machine learning framework to develop a novel method for estimating snowpack properties from Earth Observational data at high spatial and temporal resolutions. This will involve training a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model to link surface processes with layers within the snowpack, as well as predicting snow depth, snow water equivalent, and the stratigraphical characteristics of the snowpack in Western Norway. The SnowAI project also includes using low-cost sensors to monitor snowpack properties in real-time, and collecting UAV, geophysical, and in-situ field data, all of which will be used for model calibration and validation purposes.
Application Deadline: 29th September 2024
9. 05 Fully Funded PhD in Medicine
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The successful candidates will be employed in a full-time (100%) position for a period of three (3) years, with the time required to complete the training component of the organized research training (PhD program) deducted, or until a maximum of four (4) months after the application period or upon completion of the PhD degree. The successful candidates will be required to work with the Medical Student Training Program for up to 20 hours per year. This work, which involves recruitment, public relations, and similar tasks, will be agreed upon with the Head of the Medical Student Research Program
Application Deadline: 27th September 2024
