PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Meteorology
The PhD project will investigate the moist dynamics of extratropical cyclone families. Focus will be on the origin, processing, and handover of moisture within these cyclone families as well as the associated diabatic impact due to latent heating on the lifecycle of the individual storms as well as of the cyclone family itself. The candidate will investigate the mechanisms by which moisture is drawn into and processed within cyclone families using reanalyses, idealised and realistic model simulations. The project will make use of novel and established water tracing diagnostics, including stable water isotopes. There is also a possibility to work with observational data from aircraft field campaigns and satellites. We are now looking for an engaged and highly qualified PhD candidate to join our collaborative team. As a PhD in the Meteorology group at the Geophysical Institute at University of Bergen, you will also 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.

(05) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in microbiology
Viruses that infect planktonic algae and bacteria play a central role in marine ecosystems by regulating turnover, abundance, and diversity in microbial food webs. Over several years, we have collected DNA/RNA samples of viruses and their host organisms from the Arctic and polar marine ecosystems. These samples will be analysed alongside quantitative data on the environment and microorganisms. This work will form the basis for our further research in the Arctic. The work will include bioinformatics of metagenomes and transcriptomes, statistical analysis of data, and modelling. Some of the work will be conducted in close collaboration with our international partners, and therefore, periodic travel is to be expected.

(06) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Applied and Computational Mathematics
The successful candidate will contribute to developing modeling and simulation capabilities for giga-scale CO2 storage. Concretely, this PhD project will look at the theoretical foundation and associated numerical and computational methods for large scale poroelastic response on the basin scale – thus covering multiple CO2 storage locations. This may involve mathematical topics such as upscaling, homogenization and numerical analysis. It may also involve design and implementation of numerical methods in the context of state-of-the-art open-source software for scientific computing. The methods derived will be tested at setups relevant for storage formations in the North Sea.
Deadline : 15th June 2025
(07) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow (two positions) in marine evolutionary ecology
The first position is part of the research project Thermos (Regional downscaling of eco-physiological theory – confronting global predictions with local observations) and is financed by the Research Council of Norway. The project aims to critically evaluate state-of-the-art theory on how temperature and other drivers affect spawners and modify the timing of when they spawn, and assess to what degree existing theories are relevant for high-latitude spring bloom systems. The project uses well-studied Norwegian stocks of Atlantic cod and herring as test cases. A main hypothesis underpinning the project, which challenges current thought, is that oceanographic conditions, and not so much the individual preference, determines the temperature at which fish spawn. When employed, the candidate is expected to participate in the development of a mechanistic simulation model to investigate how fish may utilize different temperature ranges over the seasons to budget different bioenergetic tasks, such as feeding, digestion and gonad development. It will also be possible to couple modelling results with observed temperature recordings from fish tagged with different temperature sensors. This part of the project is a collaboration with the Institute of Marine Research (IMR).
The second position is part of the project DRIFT (Systematically rethinking advection and cross-ecosystem subsidies), a starting grant funded by the Trond Mohn Research Foundation (https://bio.uib.no/te/research/advection/). The project focuses on how advection turns ocean currents into food conveyors. The open ocean harbours an estimated 1–16 billion tonnes of small mesopelagic fishes, comprising 50–95% of global fish biomass. Many of these, along with pelagic crustaceans, squids, and gelatinous zooplankton, are active vertical migrators but remain hidden in the twilight zone at depths of several hundred meters during the day. Our focus is when these drifting organisms are transported from the open ocean towards underwater slopes—such as seamounts, banks, and continental shelf breaks—where they are pushed from the deep twilight into the shallower depths where light can reach, and there become easy prey for predators. Our hypothesis is that this process fuels productive ecosystems and supports dense predator populations along these slopes and coasts. DRIFT aims to uncover the mechanisms that govern when and where oceanic prey becomes accessible to predators, map foraging hotspots across the North Atlantic, and predict how advected biomass shapes production, life histories, and species distributions in recipient ecosystems. The main task of the successful candidate will be to use particle tracking within ocean circulation models to simulate mesopelagic biomass transport and identify potential advective feeding hotspots, working closely with co-supervisors and collaborators at the Geophysical Institute and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research.

(08) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
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.
