Within two months of commencing the position, the candidate must submit a PhD agreement, including a plan for the required doctoral courses and a project description. More about the position / The PhD project​ The Arctic Ocean is expected to undergo a high rate of species turnover as climate-driven changes in habitats, including declining sea-ice cover and rising seawater temperatures, enable new species to expand northward while others decline or disappear locally. These shifts are likely to substantially reorganize Arctic food webs, with cascading effects throughout the ecosystem. This PhD project will investigate how climate-driven warming is reshaping Arctic microbial eukaryote communities, with a focus on the northward expansion of toxic microalgae and protistan parasites, and includes the option to take part in research cruises. The project will use long-read metabarcoding to develop a pan-Arctic, DNA-based biodiversity database with high taxonomic resolution, use existing data and literature to distinguish generalist from specialist taxa, and identify potential entry routes and distribution patterns of the microalgae and parasites as Arctic waters warm. The project will also detect known and novel biological associations, as well as abundance changes in toxic microalgae and protistan parasites. Key findings will be validated against microscopy data collected during research cruises. The position includes translating results into outreach for stakeholders and contributing to predictive policy recommendations. The project therefore offers an exciting opportunity to combine field-derived Arctic samples, advanced molecular and imaging tools, and ecological theory to address emerging questions at the intersection of climate change, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning. The position is affiliated with the national research programme Arctic Ocean 2050. The programme brings together 18 Norwegian research institutions in a major interdisciplinary collaboration aimed at strengthening Norway’s knowledge base and strategic capacity in a rapidly changing Arctic Ocean.

Job description​ Applicants are invited for a three to four-year position as a Postdoctoral Fellow emphasizing research on special needs education for students with neurodevelopmental disorders. The position is to be based at the Department of Special Needs Education, Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Oslo.  In 2024, Norway implemented a change to the Education Act, adjusting the criteria used to allocate extra resources for children with special needs. This project will evaluate the impact of this legislative change on children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), focusing specifically on their transition from kindergarten to formal schooling, and their subsequent academic outcomes.  To capture both pre- and post-reform conditions, the project will combine secondary and primary data. For the pre-reform period, the applicant will draw primarily on existing Norwegian data sources such as cohort studies and/or relevant national registries, which can be linked as appropriate to the research questions. The applicant will be responsible for identifying the most suitable data source(s) for the pre-reform period and applying for the necessary data access and approvals. The applicant will then collect new primary data to capture the post-reform period.  Within this structure, the applicant has flexibility in developing the proposal to include the specific data source(s) and academic outcomes to be examined, in line with their own research interests. The significance and rationale for the selected data source(s) and outcomes should be well detailed and justified within the project description. The applicant is expected to outline plans for data collection, as well as the methodological and analytical approaches envisioned. The fellow will also be expected to apply for relevant ethical approvals, collect primary data, conduct data analysis, plan the scientific publications that are part of the fellowship, as well as be first-author on the agreed upon publications.
