Position as PhD Research Fellow in Renewable Energy Systems Modelling focusing on the role of solar energy in Norway and the EU available at Department of Technology System, University of Oslo.
The fellowship period is 3 years.
A fourth year may be considered with a workload of 25 % that may consist of teaching, supervision duties, and/or research assistance. This is dependent upon the qualification of the applicant and the current needs of the department.
Starting date is no later than October 1, 2025
No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo.
The cost of solar photovoltaics (PV) has significantly decreased over the past decade and PV is expected to play a central role in Europe’s transition to net-zero emissions by 2050. This PhD fellowship will analyse the role of PV to meet Norway’s and EU’s commitments under the Paris agreement. To do so the PhD researcher will use and further enhance the representation of solar PV in highRES-Europe, a high temporal and spatial resolution electricity system planning model which simultaneously optimises spatially explicit infrastructure planning and operational decisions.
The PhD will conduct model-based research on topics such as
The PhD fellow will be part of the newly established national research centre FME SOLAR. It consists of more than 50 partners joining excellent R&D institutions with innovative user partners responsible for the majority of industrial activity, exports and turnover in Norway’s PV industry. The centre is led by Erik Stensrud Marstein at the neighboring Institute for Energy Technology (IFE). There will be in total around 20 PhDs and Postdocs across four Norwegian universities: NMBU, NTNU, UiA and UiO. The research will be conducted in close contact with the research and user partners of FME Solar, and with other partners at ITS on the general topics of renewable energy systems.
The PhD candidate will be part of a team at ITS comprising two other positions funded by the FME Solar project and Assoc. Prof. Marianne Zeyringer, Prof. Sabrina Sartori and Assoc. Prof. Mathias Hudoba de Badyn, and in close collaboration with other members of the Energy Systems section and more particularly the Energy Systems Modelling Group. Our team is made up of engaged and collaborative researchers focused on developing model-based analyses for the energy transition.
We work in a wide range of national and EU projects (e.g. WIMBY, SAMVIND, EMPOWER, AtLAST, Energy for Future, Include) addressing key challenges such as climate-resilient energy system design, socially accepted and just energy system modeling, and integrating broader sustainability factors including biodiversity and material use into energy systems models. Additionally, our work involves using these models to inform the public and policymakers about system trade-offs and complexities. We are co-developing the highRES electricity system model with UCL.
The candidate will be supervised by Assoc. Prof. Marianne Zeyringer, who is leading the group and is also Academic Chair for Climate Change University Alliance Circle U.
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition to be among Europe’s leading communities for research, education and innovation. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.
Required qualifications
Foreign completed degree (M.Sc.-level) corresponding to a minimum of four years in the Norwegian educational system
Candidates without a master’s degree have until 30 June 2025 to complete the final exam.
