The position's affiliation

The Faculty of Science and Technology is comprised of the following departments: Department of Geology, Department of Physics and Technology, Department of Computer Science, Department of Chemistry, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, and Department of Engineering and Safety.

 

The Department of Geology currently has 18 permanent scientific staff positions, 20 researchers and post-doctoral fellows, 25 PhD-students and 15 technical/administrative positions.

 

The Department is organised into three research groups: Crustal Dynamics, Coastal and Terrestrial Geosciences, and Polar Marine Geology and Geophysics and hosts approx. 240 students. The Department of Geology offers courses at all levels, from bachelor to PhD studies. The Institute stimulates research and education within such strategically important field and knowledge areas as, for example, energy, resources and climate.

 

The research group on Crustal Dynamics has five permanent faculty members. The research topics range from field-based structural geology, petrology, mineral resources, tectonics and geohazards in Norway and other parts of the world to experimental high temperature and high-pressure studies and analogue modelling. Research within the group Coastal and Terrestrial Geosciences focuses on morphological, sedimentological and stratigraphic investigations of Quaternary and pre-Quaternary deposits, including landscape- and submarine slide- and deposit processes.  For an overview, please see: Crustal Dynamics research group and Coastal and Terrestrial Geosciences research group.

 

 

 

The position's field of research/field of work

You will carry out independent research on topics of your own choice in collaboration with the Department of Geology, and other research groups within the geohazards field in Norway like NORUT, NVE and NGU. The focus should be on geohazards/rock slope failures in northern Norway. In addition, you will contribute to improving existing research and teaching and to establishing new geohazards courses a
