University of Stavanger, Norway invites online Application for number of Fully Funded PhD Degree at various Departments. We are providing a list of Fully Funded PhD Programs available at University of Stavanger, Norway.
Eligible candidate may Apply as soon as possible.
(01) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Fellowship Petroleum Technology
The PhD Fellow will be affiliated with the following project “Studying and Improving the Hydraulic Sealability of Granite-Based One-Part Geopolymers”.
Portland cement is the prime material used for well cementing purposes. However, there are some concerns related to the long-term durability of this material at downhole conditions, in addition to the challenges related to emission of greenhouse gases (especially CO2, SOx, and NOx) during its production.
The University of Stavanger has extensive track record on development of rock-based geopolymers, especially granite-based geopolymers. The granite-based geopolymers present a promising alternative to Portland-based well cements. These materials not only exhibit excellent chemical and physical properties that ensure durability under downhole conditions for different applications but also boast an impressively low CO2 emission of just 6 wt.% in the final product. Furthermore, when formulated as a one-part geopolymer, also known as a Just-Add-Water geopolymer, it can be prepared using the same equipment as regular cements.
Deadline : 25th January 2025
(02) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Fellowship in Statistical Physics and Machine learning modelling for battery materials
The PhD Fellow will be affiliated with the following project “Machine learning and computational physics for sustainable energy solutions”.
Sustainable energy sources and treatments are already and will further be one of the main priorities for forthcoming technological development to limit human contribution to climate change. Improving energy storage in batteries could contribute to reducing current climate dynamics by increasing the reliability of renewable power sources.
Na-batteries can be built using resources that are abundant in Europe, although they are less mature and require design and manufacturing improvements. Whereas most Na-battery research has looked at individual components, this project seeks to identify compatible electrode-electrolyte pairings and, ultimately, develop new full-cell chemistries.
The candidate is expected to apply molecular modelling and machine-learning techniques to optimise specific negative electrode-electrolyte combinations. The work will be performed in parallel with an experimental group at UiS that will test and develop new electrolyte chemistries for Na-metal and Na-ion batteries with the final aim to construct a full-cell prototype.
Deadline : 24th January 2025

(03) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Fellowship within mechanical properties of low-melt bismuth alloys
Bismuth is an element that has a relatively low melting point of 272°C, a liquid viscosity close to that of water, mass density close to that of lead, and the fascinating property of volumetric expansion upon solidification (i.e. transitioning from liquid to solid phase), a property it shares with water and only a few other chemical elements. Bismuth is also a low-toxicity heavy metal, which makes it a popular replacement for lead in many industrial applications, and bismuth-based alloys (with even lower melting points compared to pure bismuth) can be used for diverse applications such as solder, as part of fire protection systems, and for casting of mechanical parts within aviation and automotive industries.
Due to its attractive combination of low melting point, low viscosity and volumetric expansion upon solidification, bismuth-based alloys are also currently studied as a candidate material for zonal isolation and plugging of wells; indeed, bismuth and tin alloys have already been tested as sealing material in wells on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. This serves as a timely and key motivation for the current PhD research project which seeks to further extend our knowledge of bismuth-based alloys and their mechanical properties and performance under demanding pressure and temperature conditions. The project will assess the role of physical scale on the alloy properties, either by conducting own experiments in different sized geometries (for a more experimentally-based candidate) or through collaboration and analysis of experiments conducted within the overall work package in the research centre (for a more computationally-oriented candidate).
Deadline : 23rd January 2025
(04) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Fellowship in Educational Sciences related to the Norwegian after-school program
The person hired will work with research and development related to the Norwegian after-school program (SFO).
Centre for Learning Environment at the University of Stavanger (UiS) has been one of the promoters of a new bachelor’s degree in after-school (SFO) pedagogy. In this field, there is a need for research that can contribute to the development of the sector, and the enhancement of children’s play, well-being, belonging, and social development at SFO. That is why the Centre for Learning Environment has recently established a research group linked to SFO and nature as a learning arena.
The Ph.D. candidate will contribute to research and development related to the content of SFO and resources for SFO employees. The research will be carried out in close collaboration with the field of practice to investigate competence needs and development opportunities for the sector based on the Framework Plan for SFO.
Deadline : 19th January 2025
