PhD Candidate in Environmental Psychology

NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology

This is NTNU​ NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities with headquarters in Trondheim. At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 43,000 students work to create knowledge for a better world. You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application process here.     Video: https://youtu.be/Xt-yHCN5QS0About the position​ Are you motivated to take a step towards a doctorate and open up exciting career opportunities in an interdisciplinary project between environmental psychology and artificial intelligence (AI)? As a PhD Candidate with us, you will work to achieve your doctorate, and at the same time gain valuable experience that qualifies you for a further career in higher education and research, in and outside academia. You will work from a psychological perspective with cutting-edge AI solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of households. Your immediate leader will be the Deputy Head of Research.  About the project​ The PhD position builds on previous work of researchers from the group “Citizens, Environment and Saftey”. In the EU project ENCHANT, we collected electricity use data of 2400 European households for five weeks and provided psychologically informed interventions to reduce energy consumption through a web-based app. Using machine learning, we then collaborated with a software company and trained an algorithm that can suggest the combination of interventions to households that are expected to result in the best electricity savings, given the socio-psychological profile of the households. The targeted algorithm-suggested interventions were (based on the data from the project) about 50 % more successful in energy saving than the best possible general intervention strategy. In this PhD project, we want to take the next step in this development and use generative AI to tailor the intervention messages and visuals dynamically to user preferences to increase the effect even more and integrate these solutions with smart steering and measurements in pilot households. The task of the PhD will be to work in an interdisciplinary team between psychology and AI experts to help train the tailoring engine, feed it with scientifically solid input and define the boundaries of the space it can operate in. When the prototype is developed, the second part of the PhD will be to test it on households and assess its appeal and effect both qualitatively and quantitatively.

You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application process here.     Video: https://youtu.be/Xt-yHCN5QS0About the position​ The NTNU University Museum is seeking a highly qualified, ambitious, and motivated PhD candidate for a project focusing on the genomics of cryptic coloration in anurans (frogs and toads). Anurans display a diversity of colors and patterns that enable them to avoid detection by predators through background matching, masquerade (e.g., resembling leaves or bird droppings), or disruptive coloration. In many cryptically colored species, multiple color morphs co-occur within populations, and similar polymorphisms have evolved repeatedly across distantly related taxa. Proposed mechanisms for the maintenance of such polymorphisms include spatial and temporal variation in selection, heterozygote advantage, and pleiotropic effects linking coloration to other fitness-related traits. The PhD project will generate and analyze genomic and transcriptomic datasets derived from both samples collected in the field (e.g., Ethiopia, Borneo), and tissue collections in natural history museums. Using population and comparative genomics approaches, the candidate will have opportunities to investigate the evolutionary mechanisms underlying (i) the maintenance of cryptic color polymorphisms within species, and/or (ii) the repeated evolution of similar cryptic color traits across lineages. While the project will primarily be computational and lab-based, there will be opportunities to develop complementary field experiments.
