The
offered PhD position will be linked directly to the research activity
within the national research Centre CtrlAQUA, a Centre for
research-based innovation (SFI) where the Department of Chemistry at the
NT faculty stands as partner among several others. CtrlAQUA is
coordinated by NOFIMA. The vision for the CtrlAQUA Centre is to achieve a
paradigm shift in the salmon farming through innovative solutions that
support further expansion of Norwegian aquaculture, thus ensuring
Norway's position as a world leading supplier of aquaculture expertise,
technology and sustainable seafood. More information about the center
can be found here
The research activity in the current fellow position includes the development and the establishment of procedures for water quality monitoring in terms of prioritized chemical parameters in closed farms. Long-term stability and quality of sensor measurements related to parameters such as CO2, pH, nitrate, nutrients and trace elements will be of major importance. The PhD student is expected to work mainly with the optimization of procedures for the maintenance of existing sensors (optical and electrochemical), the development of sensor protection systems, sensor development and quality assurance.

Desired skills and experience
To
qualify for the position, a master's degree in chemistry within the
field of analytical chemistry and / or nanotechnology, or education at
the equivalent level, with very good results is required. We are looking
for a positive and creative personality who can work independently and
consistently on the research project. The candidate should be able to
take initiative, work goal-oriented, tackle challenges, enjoy
interdisciplinary research and take keen interest in learning and

About the employer
The
Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) creates knowledge
for a better world and solutions that can change everyday life. On 1
January 2016, NTNU will merge with the University Colleges of Ålesund,
Gjøvik and Sør-Trøndelag. The merger will give us more comprehensive
educational offerings and larger research environments. Together, our
four institutions will create Norway's most exciting, innovative and
largest university.
Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology
