Opportunities

Open Positions

Vacant PhD and researcher positions at UiB and Uni Research of relevance for TEG will be advertised on this page. Currently there are no positions open.

A 3-year PhD position on the topic of cod larvae and climate change had application deadline 30 March 2012. The position is part of the Nordic Centre of Excellence NorMER and based in Bergen. Applications are now being evaluated, and applicants will be contacted regarding potential interviews and final outcome in due time.

On Becoming a PhD Student

PhD studies at University of Bergen are based on employment at UiB or one of the cooperating research institutes, such as Uni Research. All PhD positions at UiB must be openly advertised. There is thus no reason to contact a TEG researcher to ask for a PhD opportunity. It is possible, however, to contact a researcher to propose a PhD project within one of TEGs research fields, for which a grant application can be submitted to the Research Council of Norway (RCN). Deadline for such applications is normally June 1, and RCN requires that the supervisor is the formal applicant. The competition within RCN is strong, with more than 90% rejection rate. Suggestion for such proposals must therefore come months before the deadline.

On Becoming a Masters Student

Information on application dates, housing and many other practicalities for being a Master of Science (MSc) student at Department of Biology, University of Bergen, can be found here.

TEG welcomes new MSc students in all our research themes. If you qualify, you can check our Research web page, and email TEG staff members to inquire whether they will have an opening for new MSc students in the near future. Please present your background and interests briefly in that email.

Most or all MSc education at the Department of Biology (and the Faculty of Science) is in English, and most MSc theses are written in English.
