PhD position summary/title: PhD position in biosystematics of marine invertebrates (siphonophores)
The candidate will use integrative morphological and molecular taxonomic methods to study several aspects of the diversity of siphonophores in Norwegian waters and across wider scales. A combination of analysis of existing preserved samples and collection of fresh material will provide the first description of baseline diversity for siphonophores and other pelagic hydrozoans in the underexplored Norwegian Sea, as well as provide material for molecular work, curated museal reference collections, and DNA reference libraries.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in de novo drug design
Development of new pharmaceuticals requires efficient navigation of the vast chemical space. This may be achieved via heuristic computational methods, also termed “de novo” design methods, which may optimize toward desirable drug candidates without having to explore the complete chemical space. Via an interdisciplinary approach that includes informatics, computational chemistry, synthesis, computational biology, and biomedicine, the project team will develop radically new de novo molecular design methods. Specifically, the team will develop methods that integrate expert knowledge early on, via machine-learning models and on-the-fly human intervention in the otherwise automated process. The new methods will be applied to design inhibitors of targets for cancer and antibiotics, the most promising of which will be synthesized and tested. The PhD student will be responsible for the de novo inhibitor design. This responsibility includes the computationally derived fitness, or scoring, function, for which the PhD project may also involve development of machine-learning models to speed up the design process. The PhD research fellow will work at the interface between informatics, chemistry, and biology, and be key to achieve interdisciplinary communication and research.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position (4 years) at the Department of Psychosocial Science
The primary aim of the BLINDZONES project is to determine the mechanisms underlying a recently discovered perceptual illusion, which in addition to challenging basic assumptions in traditional vision science may also contribute to traffic accidents. The illusion consists of a compelling and immediate experience that the blind zone behind an object is empty. We aim to develop a basic scientific understanding of this anomalous phenomenon and to clarify its implications for basic vision theory. In particular, we aim to determine the heuristic principles employed by the underlying visual mechanisms and to identify potential neural correlates of these mechanisms. We also aim to determine the potential role of the illusion in traffic accidents. Based on this research, we also aim to answer the question of what countermeasures are most effective for reducing the risk of accidents associated with blind zones. The project group is organized as a consortium of researchers from University of Bergen, international partners from the University of Leuven, Radboud University, and the University of Wrocław, as well as national partners from the Institute of Transport Economics.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow within Water Isotope Research
The project “Isotopic Transfer Rates during Water Phase Changes – iTRANSFER” consists of an experimental and modeling component that will establish an accurate basis for the use of water isotopic composition in studies of the terrestrial and extraterrestrial hydrological cycle. The iTRANSFER project will use new precise water isotopologue spectroscopy analyzers in experimental laboratory setups to measure the isotopologue transfer rates. Water isotopologue spectroscopy analyzers allow developing new experimental setups utilizing the possibility for continuous measurements of the water vapor isotopologue composition and the need for only very small sample volumes. The iTRANSFER project will furthermore use climate models equipped with water isotopologues together with networks of in-situ atmospheric water vapor isotopologue measurements to evaluate the effect of the new and more accurate fractionation factors.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in marine Biogeochemistry
The Nordic Seas are of key importance for the global carbon cycle. Here, deep water formation leads to vertical transports of large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere and surface ocean to the abyss, where it is stored for hundreds to thousands of years. This helps slow down global warming. The successful candidate will investigate the dynamics of this process. A key goal is to resolve carbon cycle impacts of current variability and expected future changes in dense water formation and deep mixing. The work will be conducted using traditional ship-based as well as modern observations, such as from biogeochemical Argo floats, in addition to conceptual and climate models.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in plant-mycorrhizal interactions
Dwarf-shrubs are a dominant plant functional group across the boreal, arctic and alpine biomes, and they play important roles for biodiversity, ecology and ecosystem functioning in the habitats in which they occur. For example, dwarf-shrubs provide important food resources for grazers, pollinators, and people and habitat for other plants, insects, rodents, and birds. Through interactions with belowground fungal networks (ericoid mycorrhiza), they play critical roles in carbon sequestration and long-term carbon storage in soils, suggesting that dwarf-shrubs may play a critical role in feedbacks from land to the climate system. DURIN will explore the role of dwarf-shrubs in climate responses and feedbacks across biomes and habitats in Norway, integrating plant physiology, ecology, and ecosystem science. Using distributed observational systems, field experiments, and growth chamber studies, we will obtain fundamental knowledge on how climate change directly and indirectly affects this important plant functional group, and its ecosystem functions and services. This improved process understanding will be integrated in land surface and earth system models to understand the role and contribution of dwarf-shrubs in the feedbacks from terrestrial vegetation to the climate system.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Informatics: Visual Data Science to Master Complex Simulation Ensembles
Our employees are expected to contribute to excellence with high-quality research and teaching. The working environment for this position is (1) UiB’s Center for Data Science, CEDAS, (2) the involved research groups of visualization and machine learning, as well as (3) the cooperation between UiB and the University of Stuttgart. Our cooperation with UiB’s Department of Geosciences is also important for this position. The PhD project is advised by Prof. H. Hauser (visual data science) and co-advised by Assoc.-Prof. N. Blaser (machine learning) as well as Prof. Th. Spengler (meteorology). Profs. Th. Ertl and M. Sedlmair from the Univ. of Stuttgart are also involved in the planned research. The project synopsis is:To understand inherent uncertainties in weather prediction, it is common to consult stochastically perturbed simulation ensembles with highly detailed ensemble members. Extracting relevant conclusions from such ensembles is very challenging and depends on a successful condensation of the data. Especially when aiming at an interpretation of an entire ensemble in terms of domain-relevant features, such as cyclones, fronts, rain, etc., summarization is very difficult and only possible on the basis of expert knowledge. We foresee that new visual data science methods from this project will significantly support the study of such rich ensembles.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in hydrogeology.
Groundwater is an important but vulnerable resource and plays a crucial role in many geological and environmental processes. One of the key unanswered questions in groundwater research is how much groundwater there is globally and how this is distributed spatially and with depth. In addition, it is unknown to what extent the global volume of groundwater has changed over geological timescales and how this has influenced processes like sea level change and the isotopic composition of oceans. The project aims to quantify the distribution of groundwater globally. Over the last few years, new datasets have become available that can help improve estimates of the global groundwater volume. The research fellow will compile and analyse porosity, lithological, sedimentological and geological data and combine these data with models that relate groundwater volume to lithology, stress, geological history and other factors.
