PhD Research Fellowship in Health Psychology, University of Oslo, Norway

A PhD research fellowship in health psychology is available at the Department of Psychology. The positon forms part of the research project “Healthy sexual aging: A mixed-method study of sexual function and sexual well-being in older European adults” financed by the Norwegian Research Council. The appointment is for a period of three years (with no teaching requirement). The fellowship period may be reduced if the candidate has previously been employed in a research fellowship position.

Although the topic of sexual health is increasingly gaining legitimacy and importance, our knowledge regarding sexuality in older age is lacking, especially when it comes to the question of how biopsychosocial age-related changes may affect the body and sexuality in older age. The expressions of sexuality vary between and within different societies and cultures. In this new research project, the sexual well-being and sexual function of older adult men and women in Northern, Southern, and Central Europe will be compared. Quantitative sub-studies will be carried out as national, representative cross-sectional questionnaire surveys in Norway, Denmark, Portugal and Belgium. A qualitative sub-study will involve in-depth interviews of 25-35 men and women of different sexual orientations in different countries. The PhD research fellow in Norway will be affiliated to the quantitative project in Norway.

The findings from the different components will be contextualized to highlight cultural and policy-related differences between European regions, and their societal challenges and implications for health will be considered. Based on this analysis, the results will be used to inform the design and development of scalable, culturally appropriate awareness-raising interventions for the public and a professional intervention program for health practitioners working with aging populations.

The research fellow will be part of a research group led by Professor Bente Træen (principal investigator) and Associate Professor Ingela Lundin Kvalem at the Department of Psychology. The PhD-student will collaborate with the other principal investigators and participants in this international project.

PhD Research Fellowship in Fluid Mechanics, University of Oslo, Norway

Position as PhD Research Fellowship in Fluid Mechanics available at the Department of Mathematics.

The PhD fellowship will be for a period of 3 years, with no compulsory work (teaching). Starting date no later than 01.09.2016. No one can be appointed for more than one fixed-term period at the same institution.

Job/ project description:
The position is connected with the project « Multiphase Flow in Concentric and Eccentric Annulus Spaces (ANNULUS) » funded by the Research Council of Norway. The project is a collaboration between UiO, Institute for Energy Technology (IFE, www.ife.no) and Imperial College London, Department of Mechanical Engineering. Joint supervision will be given by Mikael Mortensen (UiO), Murat Tutkun (UiO and IFE) and Jan Nossen (IFE) with additional support by Professor Berend van Wachem (Imperial College).

The primary objective of the project is to provide fundamental understanding of physical mechanisms and flow regimes in two-phase flow in annulus spaces in near horizontal oil wells at realistic conditions and provide experimental data that later can be used for developing engineering models. An “annulus” is the space between an outer pipe and an inner pipe inserted into the outer pipe all along the pipe length.

The PhD student will pursue detailed simulations of two-phase gas-liquid flow in the annulus configuration through theoretical analysis and detailed CFD. The CFD work will be based on the code Multiflow from Imperial College London. We will stay in close contact with professor van Wachem at Imperial, who has kindly offered free support and a few months’ visit to his group by the PhD student. To ensure that the PhD work maintains a focus on industrially relevant issues, the student will also spend extended periods at IFE to enable daily interaction with highly experienced permanent staff.

PhD Research Fellowship in Mycology / Microbiology, University of Oslo, Norway

Position as PhD Research fellow available at the Department of Biosciences.

The fellowship will be for a period of 4 years, with 25% compulsory work. Starting date no later than 01.10.2016. No one can be appointed for more than one fixed-term period at the same institution.

The PhD research fellowship will be linked to the Norwegian Centre for Digital Life initiative, as well as the Centre for Integrative Microbial Evolution (CIME), which is an inter-disciplinary research group supported by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Job / project description:
Most fungi reside in natural habitats, but some species have expanded their habitats into buildings. Dampness- and mold-related indoor air quality problems are associated with adverse health effects, such as allergies, asthma and other respiratory symptoms. The main aim in this project is to improve the knowledge about indoor fungal communities (i.e. the indoor mycobiome) by implementing state-of-the-art high throughput DNA sequence (HTS) analyses. Using DNA metabarcoding and other DNA based approaches we will analyze the spatiotemporal variation in the indoor mycobiome within single buildings and on broader geographic scales and identify the main determinants of the indoor mycobiome. We want to improve reference DNA sequence collections for indoor fungi and improve and adapt existing bioinformatics tools for DNA metabarcoding analyses of the indoor mycobiome.

In the compulsory work (25% of total time) the hired PhD fellow will mainly focus on how the characterization of the indoor mycobiome can be streamlined for commercial applications. The hired PhD fellow will be affiliated with the University of Oslo and will also collaborate with staff at the firm Mycoteam (https://www.mycoteam.no/) that are experts on biodeterioration and indoor fungi in buildings and building materials.
