PhD position summary/title: PhD – Meat replacement and edibility formations in Southeast Asia
The REPLACE project studies meat replacement products and practices in Eastern Asian contexts to understand how such products become acceptable food or not. Given that meat-intensive diets have significant health, environmental, climate and animal welfare impacts, the idea that alternative proteins can replace meat is generating hype, optimism and substantial investments. Whether involving insects, plants, lab-grown meat or other ingredients, alternative proteins come with high expectations. However, it has become increasingly evident that much has been taken for granted in this field: just because something can be eaten, this does not mean that it will qualify as desirable and culturally appropriate food. Hence, while alternative proteins can replace meat, it is still unclear to what extent and how this replacement will take place. Understanding how this does (not) happen is of crucial importance to achieving the dietary changes required for global food system sustainability.

(04) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Arctic-Boreal vegetation modeling
The amplified warming of the Arctic is increasing the occurrence of extreme weather, such as rain-on-snow events, frost droughts, and false springs, which degrade the ability of plants to survive the winter. Since Arctic-Boreal ecosystems contain vast stores of carbon, in live biomass, peatlands and permafrost soils, this transformation of the cold season may strongly alter greenhouse gas exchange with the atmosphere, and therefore affect climate. Nonetheless, Earth system models remain incapable of simulating this damaging impact of winter warming on ecosystems, and subsequent feedbacks to the atmosphere. Therefore, this PhD position will focus on the physiological response of vegetation to extreme winter weather, and how to represent this in a model.
We are looking for a motivated candidate who will work as part of an interdisciplinary team to improve the demographic vegetation model FATES, coupled to the land surface model CLM – part of the Norwegian Earth system model (NorESM) framework. The successful candidate will collaborate with worldleading experts on the Arctic-boreal carbon cycle, vegetation modeling, and plant physiology. The candidate will improve a cold hardening scheme and the plant hydraulics in FATES using plant physiological data from a controlled climate experiment and field experiments, in collaboration with project partners in Norway, Greenland and the USA.
The PhD candidate will be part of the “SnowLess” project funded by the Research Council of Norway. This project is based at the Centre for Biogeochemistry of the Anthropocene (CBA), which is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Departments of Geosciences, Biosciences and Chemistry at the University of Oslo. The center provides the opportunity for the candidate to collaborate with a larger group of PhD students and researchers that study the carbon cycle in cold environments.
Deadline : 5th May 2025
(05) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Aerosol-Cloud-Radiation Interactions
The PhD fellow will join BeyondCloudLab, a project comprised of an international team of researchers from ETH-Zürich, the Paul Scherrer Institute and UiO that will leverage weather modification techniques to enhance our understanding of aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions, ice crystal growth, precipitation initiation and cloud seeding. It is expected that the PhD fellow will take part in three winter field campaigns in Switzerland, where they will be responsible for conducting broadband and spectrally resolved measurements of cloud radiative properties and assist with flying a tethered balloon platform. The successful candidate will use the collected data to investigate the impact of aerosol perturbations on cloud radiative properties in a natural laboratory setting. The PhD fellow will work in close collaboration with the entire BeyondCloudLab team including 4 PhD students and 2 Postdocs.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Epidemiology
The position is part of the project “Cardiovascular disease risk among Norwegian offshore petroleum workers: The impact of night shift work and benzene exposure”, led by PI Dr. Jo S Stenehjem and co- PI Dr. Niki Marjerrison at OCBE, UiO and the Cancer Registry of Norway, Norwegian Institute of Public Health (CRN-NIPH) The candidate will be co-supervised by Dr. Leon Berge and the leader of the EpiStat group Prof. Marit B Veierød. The project is funded by the Norwegian Health Association and has several renowned national and international collaborating partners with expertise in epidemiology, biostatistics, mathematics, biology, exposure assessment and occupational medicine.
The candidate will examine the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Norwegian offshore petroleum workers in relation to night shift work (NSW) and exposure to benzene, a volatile organic hydrocarbon in the petroleum stream, and the combination of both exposures in two cohorts of offshore petroleum workers. The Norwegian Offshore Petroleum Workers cohort was established in 1998 and includes work histories for the period 1965–1998 (n≈28 000 workers). A new cohort (Heliport) was recently established and is based on transport records from onshore Heliports to offshore platforms and back. The Heliport cohort includes Norwegian petroleum workers (n≈83 000) from the period 1980–2023. Both cohorts have been linked to several national health registries for data on CVD incidence and mortality. The candidate is expected to take an active part in the harmonization of the acquired data, in collaboration with a data manager. Utilizing a stratified case- cohort design and a full cohort design, CVD risk will be investigated in both cohorts according to job exposure matrices for benzene and NSW data.

(07) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Human Geography within ERC research project UNRULY
UNRULY is dedicated to understanding uncertainty related to hydropower projects in the face of climate change. The project explores how entangled social, political and environmental processes shape change. We are especially interested in the non-linear processes of change which are not factored into existing models such that efforts to manage the future create more uncertainty. At present, existing research methods have not kept pace with social science theoretical developments which reject a conceptual separation of social from environmental and material processes. UNRULY is an ambitious, anti-colonial project that seeks to creatively challenge existing research conventions and reimagine novel approaches to our shared planetary crisis.
The project builds from theoretical advances in geography, science and technology studies (STS), feminist theory, socioenvironmental systems and cognate disciplines on reframing ontologies of ‘environment’ and ‘society’. The project seeks to advance methodological approaches that take these conceptual insights seriously. Methodologically, the project will experiment with acoustic methods, embodied methods, story-telling and stochastic mathematics to think through how uncertainty shapes energy justice concerns and outcomes of renewable energy projects, working on the ground in Nepal and Sub-Saharan Africa to co-create new insights with local people.

The University of Oslo, until 1939 named the Royal Frederick University is the oldest university in Norway, located in the Norwegian capital of Oslo. Until 1 January 2016 it was the largest Norwegian institution of higher education in terms of size, now surpassed only by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The Academic Ranking of World Universities has ranked it the 58th best university in the world and the third best in the Nordic countries. In 2015, the Times Higher Education World University Rankings ranked it the 135th best university in the world and the seventh best in the Nordics. While in its 2016, Top 200 Rankings of European universities, the Times Higher Education listed the University of Oslo at 63rd, making it the highest ranked Norwegian university.
The university has approximately 27,700 students and employs around 6,000 people. Its faculties include (Lutheran) theology (with the Lutheran Church of Norway having been Norway’s state church since 1536), law, medicine, humanities, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, dentistry, and education. The university’s original neoclassical campus is located in the centre of Oslo; it is currently occupied by the Faculty of Law. Most of the university’s other faculties are located at the newer Blindern campus in the suburban West End. The Faculty of Medicine is split between several university hospitals in the Oslo area. The university also includes some formally independent, affiliated institutes such as the Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research (CICERO), NKVTS and the Frisch Centre.
