PhD position summary/title: PhD position
The position is part of the Belmont Forum project “ComDisp: Community-Centered Modeling of Housing-Related Health Disparities.” ComDisp develops a grassroots modeling framework to predict health disparities under different climate change scenarios. Addressing housing-related health risks in the USA, Vietnam, Turkey, and Ecuador, the project integrates community engagement, data science, and computational modeling. The key objectives of ComDisp are:
• Identifying and understanding housing, air quality, and respiratory health issues in each case study.
• Linking climate change models to housing, air quality, and respiratory health outcomes.
• Designing a grassroots scenario-planning process.
• Exploring and analyzing housing and health issues under climate scenarios through interactive tools and resources.
This PhD position is part of a Norway-Vietnam collaboration, funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN). The successful candidate will use public health data from Vietnam to develop hybrid agent-based and system dynamics models. These models will then be adapted and applied to other ComDisp case studies in the USA, Ecuador, and Turkey.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in physical oceanography
The PhD study will address the transformation of Atlantic Water in the Norwegian Sea and Fram Strait, where the warm and saline waters flow poleward and partly recirculate in a complex current system under varying physical controls and processes.
The successful candidate will investigate processes on scales from mesoscale eddies to small-scale turbulence and mixing. This includes instabilities of boundary currents, exchanges and subduction across fronts, responses to atmospheric and tidal forcing, and internal waves. The research will be based on observations from ship surveys, underwater gliders, and bottom-anchored moored instruments.
Over the last five years, we have collected a vast amount of observations from gliders, ships, and moorings, at scales and locations relevant to the study. New fieldwork will be coordinated with ongoing and planned projects. The candidate will be able to contribute to planning and designing the fieldwork, as well as directing the analysis of existing data, in close collaboration with the PhD advisor, Professor Ilker Fer. The candidate will be trained as a glider pilot and is expected to actively participate in glider operations under NorGliders (https://norgliders.gfi.uib.no).
The Ph.D. student will have the main workplace at the University of Bergen. International collaboration is planned with Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the US, and the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography in France. It is expected that the candidate actively participates in international cooperation by attending international workshops and conferences and is willing to perform fieldwork at sea.
Deadline : 15th June 2025

(03) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in physical oceanography
The PhD-project will focus on the Antarctic slope front dynamics, with particular focus on the circulation near ice tongues overhanging the continental slope.
The PhD-candidate will set up and run idealised numerical experiments to study how the presence of an ice tongue modifies the slope front current dynamics and the heat flux into an ice shelf cavity further the south. The idealised modelling will be combined with analysis of in-situ observations (moored and shipboard measurements of velocity and hydrography) from the area around Trolltunga, an ice tongue extending northward from Fimbulisen in Dronning Maud Land.
The main supervisor will be Ass. Prof. Kjersti Daae (UiB). The PhD candidate will be enrolled and employed at the University of Bergen and work closely with our growing Antarctic research group at UiB and Dr. Tore Hattermann at the Norwegian Polar Institute. As a PhD-candidate at the Geophysical Institute, you will be affiliated with the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR). BCCR is the largest climate research centre in the Nordic countries and among the leading centres in Europe. The working environment is highly international with around 200 scientists from 37 countries.
Deadline : 3rd June 2025

The candidate will process and use altimetry-data from the new Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) in combination with conventional altimetry retrievals and existing in situ observations. The in-situ observations include moored and shipboard measurements of velocity and hydrography.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Computational Chemistry
The project will tightly combine atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with experimental methods sensitive to atomistic detail (in particular NMR relaxation). The PhD fellow will build a library of high-resolution experimental data of oligosaccharides, against which they will critically assess the current MD models and perform data-driven optimization. The verified models will be used to reveal the conformational ensemble and dynamics of oligosaccharides in the human glycome, in particular those relevant for virus–host interactions.

PhD position summary/title: Postdoctoral Research Fellow position within Algorithms and Extremal Combinatorics
This project bridges two foundational fields in computer science and mathematics: Theory of Algorithms and Extremal Combinatorics. By integrating these areas, the project seeks to develop innovative computational techniques and theoretical insights that extend the frontiers of both fields. It focuses on leveraging recent breakthroughs that combine algorithmic approaches with classical results in extremal combinatorics. The anticipated outcomes are twofold: advancing state-of-the-art parameterized and approximation algorithms to address challenging computational problems with high efficiency, and formulating new stability theorems in extremal combinatorics, driven by practical algorithmic applications.
For the position, we are looking for a scientist who will contribute to the success and visibility of the project. A successful candidate for this position will conduct research within algorithms and extremal combinatorics, as well as interacting with other members of the algorithms research group. We are looking for excellent scientists with background and experience in one or more of the following areas: graph algorithms, parameterized complexity, approximation algorithms, extremal combinatorics, structural graph theory, as well as related fields.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry of the Cryosphere
The SnowAI project aims to use to produce new high-resolution datasets on snow depth in Western Norway derived from machine learning and radar remote sensing. The successful PhD candidate for this position will work within the scope of the project but will be free to shape their own project related to the impacts of a variable snowpack in Western Norway. Potential topics include quantifying recent changes in glaciers in Western Norway from archival and contemporary aerial datasets as well as Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or modelling the future state of the cryosphere using the Bergen Snow Simulator (BESSI), or combinations of the aforementioned. The results of this work will be used for assessing the impact of variable snowpack conditions on glacier retreat, the hydrological cycle including hazards like flood events, hydropower production, and wild reindeer populations.
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. The PhD candidate may participate in these activities if desired, although it is also feasible to complete the PhD as a desk-based study. The candidate will benefit from a diverse supervisory committee from the University of Bergen, the University of Oslo, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate and international collaborators in New Zealand, Austria, Germany, and Canada, with the potential option of a research stay at one of these partner institutions.
