07 Postdoctoral Fellowship at NTNU, Norway

The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.

The post-doc will be part of a new Horizon EU-China collaboration, which aims to revolutionize biodiversity and climate monitoring by merging advanced AI with ground and remote sensing data systems. It will develop harmonized monitoring systems across the EU and China, leveraging AI to refine data models and analytical pipelines for robust policy-making. 

The post-doc will develop a modelling framework to integrate different data streams, using a workflow developed in collaboration with other partners in the project. The framework will be based on integrated distribution models, with the aim of creating a flexible approach which can include AI methods alongside hierarchical statistical models.

The Trondheim Academy of Fine Art seeks application for a fixed-term, three-year Postdoctoral position in Investigative data Practices. The position is part of the Norwegian Research Council funded “Climate Rights: Designing Evidence for Climate Justice” project hosted by the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art at NTNU in collaboration with the Urban Theory Lab at the University of Chicago. 

Rights-driven climate cases represent a global, civil society-led effort to address the accountability gap left by the lack of decisive action on climate change. The Climate Rights (climate justice and land rights) project’s goal is to develop methodologies to tackle the challenge of representing and integrating the diverse, multi-faceted nature of evidence across geographies of climate cases. To deepen the understanding of what constitutes evidence of environmental destruction, the project will reframe climate cases beyond conventional human rights and jurisdictional frameworks by grounded its approach in political ecology and design research.

You will join the Climate Rights project’s interdisciplinary team of artist-researchers, architects, geographers, and climate scientists to help reshape the way scientific evidence and ecological knowledge of environmental destruction are produced, represented, and contested through undertaking a series of investigations in legal contexts (e.g. the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion on climate change and on Saami land expropriation), and through the project’s other ambitious research activities and public outreach programme.

“Would you like to contribute to enabling risk-aware collaboration between autonomous systems and human supervisors?”

The Department of Marine Technology has a vacant 3-year Post Doc position at the Faculty of Engineering in fundamental research on risk assessment and decision support for autonomous systems. The position is funded by the ERC AdG Breach (https://www.ntnu.edu/web/imt/erc-advanced-grant-breach), and will focus both on researching theory and performing experiments. The goal of Breach is to realize risk-based rationality in autonomous systems to achieve more proactive and intelligent behaviours, improve system safety, and leave the human supervisor with enough time to react and intervene efficiently when needed.

We have a vacancy for a Researcher at the Department of Computer Science fully funded over 18 months.

The position is connected to the project “RICO – Robust Intelligent Control”, funded by the Norwegian Research Council and in collaboration between NTNU, SINTEF, ANEO A/S, SolutionSeeker A/S and Ohmia Charging. The ambition of RICO is to develop new methods for improved robustness of intelligent control systems and predictive models. The successful candidate will be working with particular emphasis on robustness in predictive systems. There is a gap between the research on very advanced methods tested in a controllable and predictable environment and the industrial setting where the environment is neither completely known nor controllable and where information can be scarce, uncertain and of low quality.  This gap can be closed by developing novel methods for robust intelligent control and forecasting to be tested in both controlled environments and in industrial systems, and this is exactly the aim of RICO. RICO will consider a variety of use-cases, and the work developed by the successful candidate will be tested within these areas:

• Hydro-optimization for green energy production
• Energy load forecasting
• Automatic control of buildings’ HVAC systems
• Charging of electrical vehicles

We have a vacancy for a Researcher in Multiscale Characterization of Materials Exposed in Hydrogen Environments, at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The position is funded by Horizon Europe and is a collaborative project with several academic and industrial partners. Information about the project can be found at its website (https://hywayproject.eu/). 

The position is a temporary position limited for 2 years. 

The accepted candidate will conduct research using a multiscale characterization approach to gain fundamental insights into hydrogen’s interactions with metallic materials. Their contribution will serve as the basis to understand deformation of metallic alloys in hydrogen environments and for simulations for the partners associated with this Horizon Europe project.
