PhD position in chemistry

At the Department of Chemistry, there is a vacant position for a PhD fellowship in chemistry with a specialization in marine natural product chemistry. The position is for a fixed term of three years, with the possibility of a fourth year consisting of career-promoting work (e.g., teaching). The position is associated with the group 'Bioresources and pharmaceutical chemistry', which is one of four research groups at the Department of Chemistry.

About the project/work tasks:

The research will be related to the extraction, isolation, and characterization of natural products from marine biomass, and the PhD project will be part of an ongoing research project. The exploration will be at the molecular level with extensive use of analytical instrumental methods such as analytical and preparative HPLC, high-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and mass spectrometry (MS). The project therefore requires a candidate with high skills and interest in analytical laboratory work. It is expected that the candidate will contribute to the supervision of bachelor and master students and actively participate in academic activities within the group and at the Department of Chemistry.

Qualifications and personal qualities:
  • Applicants must have obtained a master's degree or equivalent education in chemistry. Master students can apply provided they complete their final master exam before 01.06.2025. It is a condition of employment that the master's degree has been awarded.
  • Practical and extensive chemistry lab experience in connection with the master's project is a requirement.
  • Experience in extraction and isolation of natural products, including full structure elucidation using 2D NMR data is a requirement.
  • Applicants must be able to work independently and be structured and demonstrate good collaborative skills.
  • Applicants must be proficient in both written and oral English.
  • Experience in isolation and characterization of natural products from marine biomass is an advantage.
  • Experience with MS/MS and 'molecular networks' is an advantage.
  • Good Norwegian language skills are an advantage for teaching purposes.

Personal and relational qualities will be emphasized. Research experience, ambitions and potential will also count when evaluating the candidates.

Special requirements for the position

The University of Bergen is subjected to the regulation for export control system. The regulation will be applied in the processing of the applications.

About the PhD position:

The fellowship will be for a period of 3 years, with the possibility for a 4th year, consisting of 25 % career-promoting work (e.g. teaching responsibilities at the department) distributed over the employment period. The 4th year is contingent on the qualifications of the candidate and the teaching needs of the department and will be decided by the head of department upon appointment.

The employment period may be reduced if you have previously been employed in a qualifying post (e.g. research fellow, research assistant).

About the research training

As a PhD Research Fellow, you must participate in an approved educational programme for a PhD degree within a period of 3 years. The deadline for applying for admission to the PhD programme at The Faculty of Science and Technology is 2 months after you start your position or after the start of the research project that will lead to the PhD degree. It is a condition that you satisfy the enrolment requirements for the PhD programme at the University of Bergen.

  • Salary as PhD research fellow (code 1017) in the state salary scale. This constitutes a gross annual salary of NOK 540 500. Further increases in salary are made according to length of service in the position.
  • Enrolment in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund.
  • A brief account of the applicant's research interests and motivation for applying for the position.
  • The names and contact information for two referees. One of these should be the main advisor for the master's thesis or equivalent thesis.
  • CV.
  • Transcripts and diplomas showing completion of the bachelor's and master's degrees. If you have not yet completed your master's degree, please submit a statement from your institution confirming the expected date of award of your master's degree. Your master's degree must be documented with transcripts and/or diploma before starting in the position.
  • A list of any works of a scientific nature (publication list).
  • Any publications.

The application and appendices with certified translations into English or a Scandinavian language must be uploaded at Jobbnorge.

Diversity is a strength that enables us to solve our tasks even better. UiB therefore needs qualified employees regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, worldview, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and age.

The University of Bergen applies the principle of public access to information when recruiting staff for academic positions.

Information about applicants may be made public even if the applicant has asked not to be named on the list of persons who have applied. The applicant must be notified if the request to be omitted is not met.

The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply to the position at all times.

We encourage applicants with disabilities, immigrant backgrounds, or gaps in their CV to apply. By indicating such circumstances in your application, you may receive favourable consideration. We ensure that at least one qualified applicant from each of these groups is invited for an interview as part of our commitment to inclusivity and equal opportunity.
