1. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The position is thematically open within CET’s research areas. CET conducts research on how climate change and transformation are experienced and acted upon by individuals, communities, policymakers and organizations. More information about CET’s research focus can be found on CET website, and particularly in the CET Strategy 2023-2026. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to develop a research project in the early phase of the fellowship. At the application stage, candidates are expected to submit a research statement (4-5 pages), which outlines the research interests of the applicant and describes how this aligns with CET’s research profile.

4. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The applicant will in collaboration with a supervisor at the department develop a project description towards marine sustainability within the research area of the relevant group/center at the department. The research groups are within algorithms, bioinformatics, machine learning, optimization, programming theory, secure communication, visualization, and didactics.
5. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The postdoc is expected to work closely with the project leader to conduct a legal archaeology study of selected court cases in the Scandinavian context. Legal archaeology focuses on the legal journey of a case and examines it in its socio-historical context. The candidate is also expected to contribute to the development of the overall project in terms of comparison, integration and dissemination of knowledge. Applicants are strongly advised to familiarize themselves with the project description of ASYKNOW. This can be obtained by contacting the project leader Marry-Anne Karlsen, Associate Professor in social anthropology, University of Bergen, at marry-anne.karlsen@uib.no
PhD Career: What are the Career Option?
6. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The main working environment for this position will be at the Department of Biomedicine. In the NeuroConvergence project, we will use large-scale genetic and functional genomic datasets and chemical libraries to identify novel druggable target proteins for neuropsychiatric disorders. Promising hit compounds will be optimized for further testing.
The successful candidate will work in a team to chemically optimize drug candidates and explore their effects on isolated proteins, in cell culture and in animal (mouse/rat) models.
The position will benefit from a tight collaboration between clinical, experimental, and computational researchers in the project, both locally and internationally (Germany, USA), with expertise in genomics, computational biology, machine learning, structural biology, pharmacology medicinal chemistry and clinical psychiatry, with ample opportunities for travel, training, and career development across multiple disciplines.
7. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The Hy4GET consortium comprises the research partners SINTEF (project owner) and UiB, and the user partners DNO, Equinor, Lundin, OMV, Repsol, Spirit Energy, Total Energies, Vår Energi, and Wintershall Dea. The position will primarily be involved in the work package “Safety and system requirements”, where the main objective is to systematically analyse the strength of knowledge (SoK) in risk assessments for offshore hydrogen installations and provide science-based recommendations to stakeholders for the safe realisation of hydrogen storage in salt caverns on the NCS. The focus will be on accident scenarios involving delayed ignition of hydrogen releases in large-scale complex geometries, including deflagration-to-detonation-transition (DDT).
8. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The role of moist processes will thus be investigated in weather and climate models in conjunction with moisture availability related to atmosphere-ocean interaction processes often related to cold air outbreaks (CAOs). The candidate will investigate the mechanisms by which moist diabatic processes interact with the storm tracks using realistic and idealised simulations as well as novel and established diagnostics. The analysis will be based on reanalysis as well as weather and climate model data to assess the origin of model biases associated with the aforementioned processes. Furthermore, the fidelity of moist processes and representation of cold air outbreaks in models will be assessed using both the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) and the Norwegian Earth System Model or Norwegian Climate Prediction Model that are developed at the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR).
9. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
This Postdoctoral research fellow will apply trace organic biomarker techniques to a variety of archives (including, but not limited to, terrestrial deposits from the archeological sites, speleothems, and marine sediment cores) in order to reconstruct environmental conditions in South Africa and their variability over time. The results will be ultimately contrasted with archaeological evidence, for early human behaviour. The project will be supervised by Assoc. Prof. Eoghan Reeves and conducted in close collaboration with other SapienCE scientists (Prof. Nele Meckler, Dr. Margit Simon, Dr. Jenny Maccali). We are looking for someone with strong hands-on experience in organic geochemistry, specifically in GC-MS/chromatography applications of trace biomarkers.
10. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Geo-INQUIRE aims to overcome cross-domain barriers, especially the land-sea-atmosphere environments. It will exploit innovative data management techniques, modelling and simulation methods, developments in AI and big data, and extend existing data infrastructures. Geo-INQUIRE benefits from a unique partnership of 51 partners consisting of major national research institutes, universities, national geological surveys, and European consortia. A portfolio of over 150 Virtual Access (VA) and Transnational Access (TA, both virtual and on-site) installations will be offered to the scientific community. Geo-INQUIRE focuses on making both VA and TA interoperable and openly available for research but also providing training on usage of them.
11. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The overturning circulation in the Nordic Seas and Arctic Ocean involves the transformation of warm Atlantic waters into cold, dense overflows. These overflow waters return to the North Atlantic and form the headwaters to the deep limb of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). The Arctic climate is currently transitioning to a new, warmer, seasonally ice-free climate state, and this could have important implications for the Arctic overturning circulation. Understanding the changing processes of dense-water formation at the northern extremity of the AMOC is therefore important, as these headwaters to the lower limb of the AMOC affect the variability and potential predictability of the AMOC farther south and may sustain the AMOC even as overturning south of the Greenland-Scotland Ridge weakens in a warming climate.
