At the Department of Social Work at NTNU, there is a vacant temporary position as a postdoctoral fellow in social work for a period of 3 years. The postdoctoral position is a qualification position where the main aim is to qualify for work in top scientific positions.

The purpose of this postdoctoral project is to explore, both theoretically and empirically, “resistance” as a phenomenon in child welfare. High demands are placed on cooperation and participation in child protection, with children and parents. At the same time, both children and parents can often express a broad and creative repertoire of resistance in the meeting with child welfare services. Understanding the role that various actors’ resistance plays in the cooperation between families and child welfare services/other welfare services could have a major impact on whether vulnerable families receive effective help. 

We have a vacancy as a postdoctoral fellow in sociology for a period of 3 years. The postdoctoral position is a qualification position where the main aim is to qualify for work in top scientific positions. The position is assigned 1 year with compulsory work in the form of teaching and guidance tasks in sociology.

As a postdoctoral fellow, you get to develop and carry out your own research project, and work with scientific publishing. In the position, you get to work independently on your own project, but with good opportunities for collaboration, follow-up and guidance through participation in the responsible group Migration and mobility  https://www.ntnu.no/iss/migrasjon-og-mobilitet  in which the position is anchored Here, experienced and younger researchers meet in a safe community that emphasizes supporting and developing the individual’s project. The research group organizes both internal and international seminars, and through the research group you get access to and the opportunity to make contacts that are important for your research project and further development. 

The research in the group is linked to various forms of mobility and migration at different levels of society, such as domestic and international migration, inequality and welfare, and change processes in local communities. The post doc position springs from this and will be a closer study of how local society and working life organization promote or discourage integration and inequality among migrant groups.

The Mathematics Education Section of The Department of Teacher Education has a vacancy for a Postdoc position in Mathematics Education focusing on Critical Mathematics Education. The position is within the Research Group (Inclusive Mathematics Education and Democracy) (IMED – Research – Department of Teacher Education – NTNU). With this postdoc fellowship, we want to explore the critical positioning of mathematics widely (in different dimensions of society), especially in schools. Critical thinking with mathematics is becoming an integral part of the preparation for critical citizenship as part of quality democratic citizenship. 
Critical mathematics education (CME) points out the importance of seeing the goal of mathematics education in terms of preparing learners as critical/responsible citizens with power, authority, and knowledge to engage with mathematics productively and critically. Here the role of taking a critical stance into the mathematically formatted realities can be aligned with responsible citizenship through mathematics. With this goal of responsible citizenship in mind, we want to explore through this post-doc fellowship how to take a critical stance on various issues related to climate change and its mitigation measures through education for sustainable development (ESD). Here ESD can be approached through dialogical engagement with critical interpretations of arguments around climate change in mathematics classrooms at schools. What kinds of support can mathematics teachers provide to encourage learners to take a critical stance on the mathematics involved in climate change? Moreover, the postdoc position will help by strengthening our Sustainability Lab for school initiative through innovative transdisciplinary approaches to engage with sustainability from a socio-ecological perspective within school and teacher education contexts.

Safe subsurface CO2 storage requires no leakage from the reservoir to the top surface (seafloor or on land) over an indefinitely long time. The required containment has implications for characterization and operation of the storage site, and not least, for the surrounding rock. This is an area where geomechanical evaluation together with seismic characterization and monitoring is crucial for a successful CCS project.

The postdoctoral project is focused towards geomechanical processes associated with injection operations where pore pressure, stresses and temperature change within the storage reservoir as well as in the surroundings. The work will be based on experiments performed in SINTEF’s Formation Physics laboratory, supported by data available from open literature. The work will be performed in collaboration with the PhD on numerical modelling, supervised by Prof. Alexandre Lavrov. The main objective of the work described here will be to contribute to a toolbox for assessing the influence of injection-induced stress, pore pressure and temperature changes on cap rock integrity and within the storage reservoir. Emphasis will be on identification of crucial parameters for assessment of geomechanical and rock physics contributions to 4D seismic monitoring and forecasting of leakages.

There are a number of cyber test ranges available (including in Europe) but the federated approach and advanced cyber physical test range capability are two elements of the FACT project which makes it disruptive and unique. The focus on Operational Technology (OT) is increasing when it comes to military systems, and the cyber physical aspect is thus of greatest importance for the FACT project. Military platforms are not easily transferable to a relevant location for test. However, the federated approach in the FACT project will allow the physical part to be implemented at more than one location, and still make use of the full capability of the partners capabilities during the testing. To ensure that the equipment is used and has a required level of protection, the FACT project will design, prototype and demonstrate a federated cyber physical test capability which can be maintained and become a sustained capability to the European nations after the project. Our approach is fully user-centric, with the end-user’s needs as the starting point for the whole capability and every consideration. Examples of test scenario setups where the federated aspect of FACT is an advantage are numerous: larger partners wanting to cooperate in larger system deliveries, smaller companies cooperating with several partners within their complimentary field of expertise, sharing vulnerabilities and mitigating actions on equipment across partners and nations for shortening time to market.

Hardware components are crucial for ensuring computing systems’ security, integrity, and reliability, especially in industrial control systems (ICS), as they play a pivotal role in our daily lives and critical infrastructures, transmitting vital information for decision-making processes. To enhance security at the hardware level, it’s essential to understand device vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors. Hardware reverse engineering (HRE) is a method used to gain insights into the inner workings of man-made devices. However, there’s a noticeable gap in educational resources related to hardware security and HRE, including courses, labs, and best practices.

The Department of Marine Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has a vacancy for a post-doctoral fellow to join the Marine Machinery group. The main topic of the post doc is to examine the ignition and combustion of zero-carbon fuels experimentally and numerically for heavy duty internal combustion engines. The post doc is part of the Hi-EFECTS project, a Nordic Energy Research project and will include close collaboration with project partners at Aalto, Lund and World Maritime universities.

The marine sector is examining which technologies and energy carriers should be invested in to achieve the greenhouse gas emission targets set by the IMO.  There are a number of options currently being examined, including batteries, zero carbon green fuels, synthetic fuels, and biofuels. The large variety of vessel types in the marine sector means that one technology is unlikely to be applicable to all. For some vessels batteries seem like a sensible option but for larger, long-range vessels, it is likely that the internal combustion engine (ICE) will be used for many years into the future. Therefore, it is critical that zero carbon fuels with favourable operational and emissions characteristics must be used. Ammonia and methanol are such fuels.
