It comprises more than 200 faculty members from many higher education institutions in Norway, in collaboration with numerous public and private sector partners. The primary objective of MishMash is to create, explore, and reflect on AI for, through, and in creative practices. MishMash researchers will investigate AI’s impact on creative processes, develop innovative CoCreative AI systems and educational strategies, and address AI’s ethical, cultural, legal, and societal implications in creative domains. See mishmash.no for more information.
The appointed candidate will join MishMash’s Work Package 2: AI in Artistic Processes led by Dr. Budhaditya Chattopadhyay. The candidate will also be working closely with the rest of the research team from Work Package 2, collaborate across the MishMash network, and participate in all relevant MishMash activities.
We are looking for an innovative PhD project. The applicant must critically articulate the connection between the artistic research project and the relevance for MishMash Work Package 2: AI in artistic processes in their application. The artistic practice must be at the centre of the PhD result. The artistic result is to be an independent work that meets international standards in terms of level and ethical requirements within the subject area. Reflection material should grant others access to the working methods and insights that the artistic research generates.
Applications will be assessed based on the criteria outlined in the program description for the PhD program, the candidate’s artistic practice, and the proposed research project’s quality and relevance for to the Work Package 2 of MishMash Centre for AI and Creativity. Applicants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the profile of the PhD program in artistic research at the faculty when designing their project, and to incorporate this profile into their project description. Further information about the PhD program at KMD can be found here.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in Data-Driven Computational Mechanics for Offshore Wind Energy
Offshore wind energy is fundamental to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal. Although offshore wind energy has an important degree of maturity, this technology requires to experiment a change of paradigm to guarantee a sustainable development for the years to come. One pathway to achieve this paradigm shift relies on the development of data-driven approaches in computational mechanics. The research activities related to this position pursue the development of data-driven computational mechanics that will be subsequently applied to the aerohydroelastic analysis of offshore wind turbines. This novel computing paradigm enables the transition from standard data-starved approaches to modern data-rich approaches, in which the underlying initial-boundary value problem is reformulated in such a way that loads, boundary conditions and constitutive models are completely or partially replaced by some form of experimental data. The research activities associated to the position target also at a close collaboration with ongoing research at the BOW and GFI. It is expected that the results emerging from these research activities will be published in highly-ranked international journals.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Research Fellow in 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 researcher 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 interact with other members of the algorithms research group. We are looking for excellent candidates with a background and experience in one or more of the following areas: graph algorithms, parameterized complexity, approximation algorithms, extremal combinatorics, structural graph theory, and related fields.
