PhD position summary/title:– PhD Candidate in Project management for sustainable health care environments
We are looking for a PhD candidate with a passion for sustainability and eagerness to develop deeper understanding of how practice can continue to implement sustainability in complex building construction projects. Our focus is on how hospitals in Norway can move in a more sustainable direction when financial resources are restricted and implement changes that ensure that built health care environments contribute to a sustainable, circular and regenerative world. Relevant themes for this PhD candidate include decision-making, users’ needs, innovation, organisational learning and the like.
The candidate will have the opportunity to continue developing a framework for sustainability knowledge to ensure it fits organizations who wants to develop and implement common understanding and actions within the built environment. The research shall have particular focus on health care facilities, such as hospitals. The focus for this PhD candidate is not directly related to the facilities and how to construct them. The focus is on understanding the perspectives of different roles and actors that links to this issue at hand. Based on this understanding it is expected that the PhD candidate develops frameworks and knowledge that others (later research projects and practitioners) can use to improve their strategies and processes and as such advance their journey towards a sustainable, circular and regenerative built environment.
Researchers and construction industry actors have desire to create sustainable business models and value chains. Many innovative solutions and state-of-art ideas exist that tend to be expensive. The high cost makes the funding organizations reject such ideas and solutions, thereby hampering the transformation into a sustainable future. So, what can we do? What projects and actions are possible to implement? In this PhD project, we aim to develop deeper understanding for the possibilities enabling project owners to contribute to a sustainable built hospital environment when they are constrained by limited funding.

PhD position summary/title:– PhD Candidate in Environmental Humanities, Language Education and Artificial Intelligence
The Department of Teacher Education, Section for English and Foreign Languages, offers a full-time, 3-year position as a Ph.D. candidate to take part in the project “Climate Change, Language Education, and AI” in cooperation with the research group on technology and learning in education: NTED-DIGIT. The project leaders are Associate Professor Tom Nurmi, Associate Professor Fredrik Mørk Røkenes, and Postdoctoral Researcher Han Han.
Although AI has the potential to be a tool in climate modeling and remediation efforts, its extractive resource and supply chain costs, e-waste pathways, and carbon footprint actively contribute to pollution and global warming. This project examines how language education can be a site of critical information literacy around environmental climate research and the cost/benefits of AI technologies. The “Climate Change, Language Education, and AI” project explores how AI ed-tech (e.g., text-to-image generators DALL-E/MidJourney) influences students’ epistemic beliefs about environmental climate research and (mis)information in English in the school while also investigating the pedagogical potential of current trends in AI-climate-related natural sciences and humanities projects (e.g., biodiversity monitoring, pollution detection, AI in eco-literature, etc.).

PhD position summary/title:– Two PhD Candidates in Modern European Migration History
Migrants’ uneven access to social welfare is one of the most pressing concerns in today’s European Union. InternalFortress will uncover the role that this issue played in the early history of regional integration in the European Economic Community (EEC), focusing on social security, union participation, and skill development.
European rules on ‘freedom of movement’ allowed migrant workers from an EEC member state to claim social protection anywhere in the bloc. The PhD case studies will hone-in on one specific national context – either France or West Germany – to trace how these general rules that were set in Brussels were carried out or contested in practice. What steps were taken in national and local institutions to help European migrants gain access to social services on the ground or to block them from doing so? Who participated in that process, for example, state administrators, employers, unions, NGOs, churches, or migrant-led mutual aid organizations? Did these actors differentiate between different groups of European and non-European migrants?
The PhD fellows are encouraged to develop their own approach to these questions, for example by focusing on a particular group of migrants, a locality, an economic sector, or an organization. These in-depth national case studies will complement work by the PI on European and international migration policy and work by the project’s postdoc on Europe’s place in global NGO networks. The team members will work together to build a rich source base that will combine official documents with material from private associations such as Caritas or International Social Service.

PhD position summary/title:– PhD Candidate in AI-powered Digital Monitoring Systems for Small-Scale Fisheries in East Africa
Work package 1 of the Asia-Africa Blue Tech Superhighway (COAST) project aims to develop digital information systems for effective management of small-scale fisheries in Kenya, Zanzibar and Tanzania. These fisheries are multi-species, geographically dispersed and exhibit flexible and dynamic fishing patterns. This makes data collection, stock assessment and data-informed management difficult. To address this, a high resolution near real-time digital catch monitoring system will be designed and implemented, including trackers to be installed on a selection of fishing vessels.
This PhD position will focus on improving the existing monitoring system, and develop dynamic maps of ocean conditions plus predictions of good fishing zones, based on catch and effort data plus partially simulated and partially measured oceanographic data. This system will furthermore be used to provide input to fisheries management though the use of AI methods and control theory.

PhD position summary/title:– PhD Candidate in Aging Models and Reliability of Extruded HVDC Cables for Offshore Power
The lack of established physics based ageing models for extruded HVDC cables presents a challenge in ensuring their long-term reliability. While extruded cable insulation for AC has been in use for decades, directly applying that knowledge to HVDC stresses is not straightforward. Understanding the intrinsic thermo-electric ageing mechanisms specific to HVDC cables is crucial for predicting their lifespan, which can extend up to 40 years or more. Furthermore, contaminants from production (e.g. scorch, cross linking by-products, protrusions from semicons etc.) may have a large impact on the ageing/degradation of the insulation. Furthermore, establishing the effect of humidity on the ageing process is important as the most established water barrier for subsea cables, extruded lead sheath, is not compatible with dynamic cables and the use of lead is likely going to be severely restricted in the EU in the near future. Alternatives may include wet or semi-wet designs, and for this to be possible under HVDC the short- and long-term effect on the reliability of the cable system needs to be established. Moreover, without well-established ageing models, conducting effective condition assessments becomes challenging, potentially leading to unforeseen failures and costly repairs. As the adoption of extruded HVDC cable systems increases, there is an urgent need for comprehensive research and development efforts to address this knowledge gap and ensure the continued reliability of HVDC transmission infrastructure.
The position is sponsored by the LowEmission Research Centre. This centre will develop new technologies and concepts for offshore energy systems, energy efficiency and integration with renewable power production technologies for application on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). The prospective candidate will be part of a project team that works in close collaboration with the LowEmission consortium. The PhD candidate will be employed at NTNU, and the workplace will be in Trondheim, in connection with this research centre.
The main supervisor for the PhD candidate is Professor Øystein Hestad, and co-supervisors are Professor Frank Mauseth and Dr. Torbjørn Andersen Ve (SINTEF Energy Research).

PhD position summary/title:– PhD in Economic Geography, specializing in geographies of labour markets in the energy transition
The Department of Geography at NTNU has a 3-year vacancy for a PhD position in economic geography, contributing to the project Making the Green Shift Work for Regions (GSW). Funded by the Research Council of Norway’s Welfare, Culture and Society programme, the GSW project seeks to better integrate localities and regions, labour markets and working lives as central elements within the green shift, rather than merely as outcomes of the energy transition. The overall objective is to help develop a new understanding of how regional labour markets are adapting to the challenge of green shift, using the example of Oil & Gas specialised regions.
Drawing on a geographical labour markets perspective, the GSW project aims to better understand how labour markets processes vary between places, operating and performing differently based on their industrial histories, social and institutional contexts, and regulatory settings. In particular, the research will explore and develop the regional skills ecosystem as an analytical framework to help develop both theory and policy prescription. As the green shift unfolds, the ways in which different regional skills ecosystems adapt and change will vary and have important implications for processes of regional competitiveness and labour market inclusion.
In collaboration with the project’s research partners Newcastle University, Sintef Digital and FAFO, the NTNU-led PhD will provide research insights into the evolution and adaptation of the regional skills ecosystems within and across the O&G and green energy sectors. Particularly important will be identifying the evolving institutional contexts, structure and configuration of regional Oil and Gas labour markets and the extent to which key actors’ develop adaptive strategies and responses to the shifting market and emerging growth of green energy activities. Within which, the PhD will contribute to the project’s novel international comparative analysis of energy transition in carbon intensive regions across Norway (Rogaland, Trøndelag) and Scotland (Aberdeen and North East Scotland). Applicants are encouraged to conduct research stays abroad and acquire mobility funds from Research Council Norway.

PhD position summary/title:– PhD candidate in social anthropology
We seek a candidate to do ethnographic research on issues related to peatlands, peatland restoration, and sustainability in Norway.
We are currently in the UN Decade for Ecosystem Restoration and peatlands are an especially important part of Norway’s restoration efforts. There is a widely felt sense that a lot – climate change, flood risk, biodiversity – hinges on what happens with peatlands. At the same time, uncertainties revolve around peatlands, and especially restored peatlands.
The project may explore issues such as how people understand the role peatlands play in a sustainable future; what it means to restore peatland landscapes in a time of increasing pressure, degradation, and collapse; how people practically involve themselves with peatlands and how such efforts affect their knowledge and understanding; and what peatlands can tell us about the relations between science, policy, and society in times of global environmental change. We seek someone who is interested in newer environmental anthropology, open to theoretical innovation, and motivated to do in-depth ethnographic fieldwork.

PhD position summary/title:– PhD Candidate in Real Implementation of Model Predictive Control for Building Heating
Buildings are energy-flexible in the sense that they can move their loads in time, typically to provide services to the electricity or district heating grids (also called demand response). For instance, one key objective can be to decrease energy use during peak hours while maintaining acceptable comfort for occupants. In cold climates, the space-heating is a dominant load and advanced control can adapt this load by changing the indoor temperature in time. Model Predictive Control (MPC) gets increasing interest in performing this control. While this solution has been extensively investigated using simulations (meaning virtual experiments), there are still limited examples where MPC has been deployed and tested in a real building and over a long period. However, real buildings can differ significantly from simulations. Firstly, the amount of measurement data can be limited, and not properly structured or standardized. Secondly, the building may not be built and operated exactly as originally planned. Thirdly, physical phenomena may be more complex in reality than in simulation, for instance regarding the heating system and the occupant behavior. Finally, the existing “legacy” automation system may not be suited. Therefore, this PhD aims to define an MPC setup (or technical pathway) that can support some of these limitations and to test it in a real non-residential building. The final objective is to provide thorough documentation of the test case.
The PhD thesis is part of Green2050, the Centre for Green Shift in the Built Environment. This centre aims to be an arena of networking and collaboration between academia and the industry. A hub for accelerating existing, planned, and new projects. The goal is to transition into a carbon-neutral built environment by 2050.

PhD position summary/title:– PhD Candidate in Fact Checking/Information Verification
For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.
Fact checking or information verification is the basis for many pressing real-world problems such as fake news detection. False information that spreads very fast as news is a growing problem with serious real-world consequences. With the advancements of large language models (LLMs), this issue has become even more important. LLMs have proved themselves very useful in certain tasks and their usage in many areas is increasing. However, these models are not very reliable in means of the truthfulness of the information they generate. For whatever purpose it is, the importance of fact checking or information verification is increasing. External knowledge sources, such as knowledge graphs (KGs) can be used for fact checking purposes, also in combination with LLMs. However, this process has its challenges such as KGs being the bottleneck and not being novel enough in certain domains. In this position, the PhD candidate will work towards fact checking/information verification where one of the important use cases is trustworthy LLMs. The candidate might explore the use and integration of knowledge graphs and other external knowledge resources with LLMs as well as using the fake news domain as a use-case.
The candidate will work in cooperation with the partners of NorwAI at NTNU. The SFI NorwAI is a research-based innovation Center for AI Innovation hosted at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway. NorwAI joins forces with 15 partners from industry, universities and research institutes. Research areas cover competences that the Norwegian industry needs to develop cutting-edge theories, methods and technology, for efficient, effective and responsible exploitation of data-driven AI in innovative industrial solutions.

PhD position summary/title:–PhD Candidate in Thermodynamics of ammonia-water mixtures
The period of employment of this position is 3 years, with possible extension due to teaching.
The position will be in the Thermodynamics group at the Department of Chemistry at NTNU.
Ammonia (NH3) is deemed by many to be a promising energy carrier to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from transport and a viable solution for global H2 transport. A challenge is the consequences of possible spills of liquid ammonia into water when it is transported on ships.
Ammonia is often transported at a temperature well below the freezing point of water. A spill of ammonia in water will therefore rapidly evaporate. It will also react with water through a highly exothermic reaction. The interfacial dynamics and the thermo-physical properties will play a key role in how fast the ammonia spreads in both water and air, and where it ends up.
The PhD candidate will work with the fundamental details of the mixing process, in particular the interfacial thermodynamics both at and beyond equilibrium and how the exothermic reaction comes into play into the spreading and dissolution of ammonia in water.
This challenging topic will give the candidate the opportunity become proficient in an arsenal of different modeling tools, which may include equations of state, classical density functional theory and molecular simulation.
