Postdoctoral Fellow in Integrated Coastal Ecology

Application deadline: 10 May 2026

We offer an exciting 3-year postdoctoral position based at NTNU’s Department of Biology for a scientist with integrated approach in understanding interactions between water dynamics, nutrient processes and catchment activities in a fjord environment. We are looking for a candidate with a background in aquatic sciences, environmental chemistry, biogeochemistry, or a closely related field, with experience in field measurements, modelling, or both.

PhD Candidate in Hydrodynamic Modelling of River-to-Fjord Plume Formation

Application deadline: 25 May 2026

We offer an exciting 3-year PhD position based at NTNU's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering as part of the NTNU Ocean and Coast funded project "The PLUME". The position belongs to work package WP1 Water Dynamics, which aims to build an integrated modelling platform for freshwater flow, river discharge, and plume dynemics from the full catchment of the Trondheim Fjord to the fjord itself. 

Announcement at JobbNorge: PhD Candidate in Hydrodynamic Modelling of River-to-Fjord Plume Formation

Deadline for proposals: 30 May 2026.

The team for Water and Water Systems addresses issues that enhance the understanding of the physical properties and transport processes of water in various systems – including rivers, lakes, seas and societal systems – and how these relate to chemical and biological properties.

The team calls for collaborative master and PhD seed projects across the team members, that each may be granted a one-time lump sum of up to 20 000 NOK for costs, which facilitates the completion of the project. This could be lab or field costs, travels, or other expenses clearly tied to the master or PhD seed project.

We ask for a one-page description of the project, that should include:

• Title and topic of the project
• The main supervisor, secondary supervisors, and the name of the potential student or students
• A short description of the goal and methods
• The awaited costs
• A short description of how the project facilitates cross-interaction with Water and Water Systems, or from the team to other parts of Ocean and Coast
• CVs or links to CVs for the main participants

The deadline for proposals is 30 May 2026.

It is the member of Water and Water Systems that submits the application. Each person may submit at most one application as main supervisor.

Submissions should be sent on e-mail to Mats Ehrnstrøm.
