Fellowship Description: The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has appointed the cosmology group of the Institute as an emerging top-tier research group. The participation in the European Space Agency’s flagship mission Planck and the ground based CMB polarization experiment QUIET, and a strong effort in fundamental cosmological theory, act as two foci for consolidating the group and developing it further to become one of Norway’s internationally most visible research groups in the physical sciences.
The announced position is associated with a projected called “The anisotropic universe – a reality or fluke?”, funded by the European Research Council and led by Dr. Hans Kristian Eriksen. This project seeks to understand whether previously reported anomalies in the cosmic microwave background are cosmological in origin, or whether they may be due to systematics and/or statistical chance.

Requirements:
The candidate must have a PhD or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in astronomy/astrophysics, physics or a related discipline.The selected candidate should preferably have a strong background in computational cosmology, with emphasis on programming experience and knowledge of modern statistical techniques. Candidates with prior experience in analysis of real LSS data will be prioritized.The main purpose of post-doctoral research fellowships is to qualify researchers for work in top academic positions within their disciplines.

The application must include:
* Application letter
* Research proposal
* CV (summarizing education, positions, pedagogical experience, administrative experience and other qualifying activity)

About NTNU:
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is Norway’s primary institution for educating the nation’s future engineers and scientists. The university also has strong programmes in the social sciences, teacher education, the arts and humanities, medicine, architecture and fine art.

Detail:
Fisheries management aims at achieving sustainability in the Norwegian fisheries. An important aspect of sustainability is energy consumption on board the fishing vessels. Despite the fact that a considerably amount of new technology is and has been introduced into the fishing industry, analyses performed in Norway and internationally show that the specific energy consumption, in terms of energy input pr. unit catch brought to land, is not decreasing. Several studies show a rather opposite trend with increased specific energy use today compared to, for instance, the situation 30 years ago. This is contrary to the trend in most other industrial production processes where technological improvements have resulted in improved energy efficiency.

Objective:
The objective of this PhD position is to analyze the situation in the fisheries with respect to energy consumption, compare to other industries, and find out what can be done to improve the energy efficiency.

Eligibility:
Applicants must hold a Masters degree in marine technology or a related field. Candidates with other relevant background may be required to take some extra courses. Specific knowledge within fishing technology is not essential.

The employment period is 4 years with 25 % duties.

Detail:
Fisheries management aims at achieving sustainability in the Norwegian fisheries. An important aspect of sustainability is safe working conditions for the fishers. Even though the safety level in the fishing fleet has improved the last decades, there are still too many accidents, and fishing remains one of the most dangerous working places. Important influencing factors on the safety problems are the working environment, technology development, procedures, training, regulations, and external conditions.

Eligibility:
Applicants must hold a Masters degree in marine technology or a related field. Candidates with other relevant background may be required to take some extra courses. Specific knowledge within fishing technology is not essential.

Objective:
The objective of the PhD position is to develop new methodologies and adapt existing risk analyses methods to the challenges of the fishing fleet, including procedures for data collection and interpretation. Analysis of causes to the safety problems is an essential part, along with evaluation of risk reducing measures.

The employment period is 4 years with 25 % duties.
