PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Road and Transport Engineering
The job is a full-time position for Doctoral Candidate (DC) in the field of road and transport engineering. You will be a key resource to the project “Sustainable Maintenance of paved Areas for year-round Accessibility for All users (ACCESS4ALL)”. The goal of this project is to develop sustainable maintenance methods and strategies for urban paved areas. These methods and strategies are needed to ensure year-round accessibility of all users and economic sustainability, while reducing CO2eq.-emissions. Today, many municipalities in cold climates struggle to reach their CO2eq.-emissions targets, within their economical constrains, without sacrificing accessibility and safety for all users. Your research will ultimately help and enable municipalities to make better decisions and design their winter maintenance of the facilities to ensure that all users have safe access to the transportation facilities in urban spaces. This position is part of the Marie Skłodwska-Curie Doctoral Network GreeNexUS, an EU funded training program for 10 doctoral candidates.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Physical Activity Epidemiology (The LABDA project)
LABDA (Learning Network for Advanced Behavioural Data Analysis) is an EU-funded MSCA Doctoral Network, that brings together leading researchers in advanced movement behaviour data analysis at the intersection of data science, method development, epidemiology, public health, and wearable technology to train a new generation of creative and innovative public health researchers via training-through-research. The main aim of LABDA is to establish novel methods for advanced 24/7 movement behaviour data analysis of sensor-based data, examine the added value of advanced behavioural data analysis and multi-modal data for predicting health risk and facilitate the use and interpretability of the advanced methods for application in science, policy, and society. Via training-through-research projects, 13 doctoral fellows will establish novel methods for advanced 24/7 movement behaviour data analysis and assess the added value of linking multimodal data. Together, they will develop a joint taxonomy to enable interoperability and data harmonisation. Results will be combined in an open source LABDA toolbox of advanced analysis methods, including a decision tree to guide researchers and other users to the optimal method for their (research) question. The open-source toolbox of advanced analysis methods will lead to optimised, tailored public health recommendations and improved personal wearable feedback concerning 24/7 movement behaviour.

PhD position summary/title: 2 PhD positions in Digital Circular Construction
This PhD position is one of three scholarship positions funded by the Norwegian Research Council (NRC)’s 1-2-TRE-STEG project. The goal of 1-2-TRE-STEG is to achieve circularity in the Norwegian wood-based construction. Within the Norwegian society, the sector takes a central position with wood being a widely used building material in Norway and a logical material choice for Norwegians, as their country’s surface area is covered by 37% of forest. However, by using so much wood the sector generates millions of tons of wood waste on an annual basis. This project is part of a larger effort by Norway’s public and private sectors to improve the performance and circularity of the Norwegian wood-based building industry.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate within Gas Flotation for Subsea Produced Water Treatment
Gas flotation is a common process for treatment of produced water. It relies on dispersion or nucleation of gas bubbles and attachment of oil droplets or solids to the bubbles to enhance their rising velocity. The goal in this project is to study how a range of fluid properties influence the removal efficiency of oil and solids during high temperature high pressure gas flotation. Addition of flocculants to improve the water treatment efficiency, and determination of the working mechanisms of the flocculants will also be important aspects. A HPHT gas flotation rig will be further developed and used to study water treatment efficiencies, while microfluidic methodologies will be used to provide better mechanistic understanding of the process.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in modelling of bridges for accurate estimation of remaining service life
For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.
Railway networks in the developed world consists of a large number of bridges that have reached or surpassed their design life, in Norway for instance, the majority of the 900 steel bridges in the network were constructed and put into service more than 75 years ago. It is not possible to replace all these bridges in the foreseeable future, due to the enormous cost associated with interruption to operation and construction of new bridges. It is also not desirable from an environmental perspective to replace a bridge that is safe and fully functional in the first place or can be made so by correct maintenance and repair.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Predictive Digital Twin for Offshore Wind Energy
The Norwegian government is presenting a major initiative in 2023 to promote offshore wind power. The plan is to install 1,500 offshore turbines that will produce a total of 30GW energy by 2040. Even though considered as a promising sustainable energy source, wind power is highly intermittent and non-dispatchable because it is a variable power source. Digital twin is an enabling technology to accurately forecast energy production from a wind farm by providing a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the behaviour of the wind farm and its components under different weather conditions and operational scenarios. The aim of the research is to leverage digital twin technology for offshore wind farms to enable accurate wind energy forecast through modelling, simulation, and optimization of wind farms’ behavior under uncertain weather conditions and operational scenarios.
