(01) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Machine Learning & Signal Processing for Industrial Applications

The position is linked to the project LeDAS, funded by the Research Council of Norway and in collaboration with NORCE, SINTEF, UiB, Equinor, and Aker BP. Big data, Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) represent key enablers of the digital transformation. The main objectives of the project include the development and the integration of signal processing and machine learning methodologies aiming to interpret distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data from production wells (both new and previously acquired sensor data). The main use cases for the position are related to virtual flow metering and well inflow applications. Research tasks include feature identification and selection for robust and trustworthy models.

Deadline : 10.10.2025

(02) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Marine Hydrodynamics

For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education leading to a doctoral degree.

The focus of this position is research on hydrodynamic loads and performance of tidal turbines under realistic flow and clearance conditions. Tidal-stream energy offers a predictable, complementary renewable source, particularly relevant for coastal nations like Norway. However, the hydrodynamic environment is complex: non-uniform inflows, wave–current interactions, and limited clearance to the seabed or sea surface can strongly affect performance, structural integrity, and fatigue life. These effects vary with water depth and turbine concept.

This PhD project will investigate how realistic inflow conditions and clearance constraints influence hydrodynamic loads, energy capture, and turbine durability. A bottom-fixed horizontal-axis turbine concept will be examined in shallower straits, alongside a floating turbine concept for deeper waters, to assess their behaviour, sensitivity to wave–current interactions and associated structural and performance challenges.

Deadline : 12th October 2025

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in offshore wind turbine condition monitoring

For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

The Department of Marine Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has a vacancy for a PhD candidate for the project “Advanced Condition Monitoring of Offshore Wind Turbines using Contactless Sensors and Operational Modal Analysis”.

The main aim of this project is to develop a condition monitoring system with contactless sensors for critical drivetrain components of offshore wind turbines integrated with advanced data processing system and decision support where system properties are identified and monitored in near real time scenarios. Operational modal analysis will also be employed for system identification and updating. In addition, the project will benefit from close collaboration with the industry. The outcomes will include advanced condition monitoring system with contactless sensor which can be integrated to existing data acquisition system enabling to monitor wind turbine health as well as estimating remaining useful life (RUL).

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Information Infrastructure Development of Offshore Energy Hubs

Are you motivated to take a step towards a doctorate and open up exciting career opportunities related to the energy transition in Norway? The Department of Computer Science (IDI) at NTNU has a vacancy for one PhD fellowship in the intersection between Computer Science and Information Systems. The existing installed base of offshore energy systems on the Norwegian Continental Shelf is increasingly integrated with the onshore electric grid systems.
