We are recruiting a PhD candidate to one project which is part of four closely coordinated PhD projects in the NTNU interdisciplinary research project “Preparedness and Response to AMR, the silent pandemic” led by Professor Marit Otterlei, Department of Clinical and Molecular medicine (IKOM), and Professor Heidrun Åm, Faculty of Social and Educational Sciences, Department for Sociology and Political Science (ISS).
As the four projects are closely integrated PhD projects, the candidates will have a unique opportunity to learn from and collaborate with experts beyond the scope of their own primary research projects.
PhD project 3: Emerging technologies enabling rapid precision diagnostics of severe infection
Bloodstream infection (BSI) and sepsis are severe infections with high mortality. Current methods for diagnosis of BSI rely largely on blood culture, which takes days and may delay effective treatment. The aim of this project is to develop a method for rapid and accurate identification of bacteria and yeast causing BSI, where delayed diagnosis may result in inadequate antimicrobial therapy and poor clinical outcome. The PhD candidate will develop and optimize a method for magnetic nanobead-based enrichment of bacterial and yeast pathogens directly from whole blood, combined with rapid nucleic acid extraction and sensitive molecular and mass spectrometry-based detection methods. The project will address challenges related to low pathogen concentrations and host-derived background interference and aims to establish an integrated diagnostic platform enabling faster and more accurate pathogen diagnosis in patients with BSI. The PhD candidate will be working closely with researchers and students in the research group and collaborate with the other PhD candidates within the interdisciplinary main project “Preparedness and Response to AMR, the silent pandemic”.
Be prepared for changes to your work duties after employment.
To complete a doctoral degree (PhD), it is important that you are able to:
Emphasis will be placed on personal qualities.
The appointment is to be made in accordance with NTNUs guidelines for recruitment positions for general criteria for the position.
Evaluate and remove/add what is relevant for the position.

Candidates who, after assessment of the application and attachments, are considered to be in conflict with the criteria in the latter act, will not be able to be employed.
The attachments (including a description of your scientific work) must accompany the application as these documents form the basis of the application assessment. The documents must be in Norwegian/a Scandinavian language or English.
Please note: the application will only be assessed on the basis of the information we have received by the application deadline. Therefore, make sure that your application clearly shows how your skills and experience meet the criteria described above.

If your institution uses “diploma supplement” (normal for most European institutions), you must attach this. A description of the documentation required can also be found here. If you already have a statement from Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills (HK-dir), please attach this as well.
Joint work will be considered. If it is difficult to identify your contribution to joint work, you must attach a brief description of your participation.
When assessing the best qualified, we emphasize necessary qualifications such as education, experience and personal suitability. Motivation for the position, ambitions, and potential for research will also count when assessing the candidates.
NTNU recognizes a wide range of academic contributions and has committed itself to The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment and CoARA (responsible assessment of research and recognition of a greater breadth of academic contributions in accordance with NTNU's social mission).
